Check Cellular Parameters
For cellular devices, Itron Cellular 500G and 500W Modules in mobile mode, use this feature to view the cellular parameters.
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Access Point Name | The name of the gateway between this cellular module and the public internet. |
Battery Utilization Threshold | To conserve battery life, the device monitors battery usage during all modem activity and stops the transmission if thresholds are exceeded. The device puts the modem into hibernate mode until the next backoff time period is reached. Threshold 1 for network registration. Threshold 2 for all other modem activity. Each time these thresholds stop transmission, the device logs an event (6000, Event Detail 0 for normal and 2 for network registration) |
Carrier Configuration Operator ID | The ID value of the carrier operator for the network to attach to. |
Carrier Configuration PDP Type | Packet Data Protocol (PDP) is a data structure that allows the device to transmit. IPv4 or IPv6. |
Radio Access Technology | To conserve battery life, clients set the Radio Access Technology to prevent the modem from searching for the cellular carrier network. |
Band Bitmap | To conserve battery life, clients set the Band Bitmap to prevent the modem from searching for the cellular carrier network. |
Cellular Data Context | This numeric value represents the context of the data to the cellular carrier. |
Cellular Minimum Technology | The minimum supported technology for the cellular carrier. |
Head End IP Address | The IP address of the head end system where data is sent. |
Out Of Coverage Network Scan Configuration Scheme | The Network Scan Configuration object is used to configure the back-off policy for network scanning during poor signal coverage conditions. Determines whether to use a Linear or Exponential backoff scheme. |
Out Of Coverage Network Scan Configuration Min Backoff | Minimum interval in seconds between scans. |
Out Of Coverage Network Scan Configuration Max Backoff | Maximum interval in seconds between scans. |
Out Of Coverage Network Scan Configuration Step | Interval incrementation in seconds between scans for linear mode. |
Initial Network Scan Configuration Scheme | The Network Scan Configuration object is used to configure the back-off policy for network scanning during poor signal coverage conditions. Determines whether to use a Linear or Exponential backoff scheme. |
Initial Network Scan Configuration Min Backoff | Minimum interval in seconds between scans. |
Initial Network Scan Configuration Max Backoff | Maximum interval in seconds between scans. |
Initial Network Scan Configuration Step | Interval incrementation in seconds between scans for linear mode. |
Signal Quality RSRQ Threshold | Indicates quality of the received signal. |
Signal Quality SINR Threshold | Threshold = 1/10 dB. Indicates whether the transmission should be attempted. |
Signal Quality Threshold | Indicates whether the transmission should be attempted. |
Cellular Operating Mode | To help extend battery life, the device is configured with one of the following modes: PSM (Power Saving Mode) prioritizes longer battery life over frequent interaction and data flow. eDRX (Extended Discontinuous Reception) prioritizes frequent interaction and data flow over battery life. |
Programmed Meter Configuration | The meter's current programmed meter configuration. The field name is a hyperlink that opens the meter configuration log. Check the values in the log to audit the FSR who installed the module. In addition to the fields described above, the meter configuration log provides:
