FCC Compliance
Labeling
The following information appears on labels on the exterior of the SBR.
• FCC ID: SK9OW1
• FCC ID: SK9ITR9002
• FCC ID: SK9WF111
• FCC ID: N7NEM7455
The following information may also appear on an exterior label.
"This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation."
FCC Part 15, Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Itron, Inc. could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance
of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter. End users and installers must be provided with
antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance.
Professional Installation
These antennas are intended for professional installation by the integrator. The OEM
integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which
integrates this antenna.
Modification and Repairs
To ensure FCC compliance and system performance, this device, antenna, and/or coaxial
assembly shall not be changed or modified without the express written approval of Itron.
Any unauthorized modification will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to repair this device by
unauthorized personnel may subject the person to shock hazard if removal of protected
covers is attempted. Unauthorized repair will void the warranty and/or maintenance contract
with your company.
Factory Repair of Meters
Itron recommends that all repairs be performed at the factory. Certain repairs may be
performed by the user; however, unauthorized repairs will cause any existing warranty to be
void.

Chapter 2 General
Overview
The Socket Based Router (SBR) is an OpenWay networking device whose software and
hardware are designed to route and forward information and to connect two or more logical
subnets (which do not necessarily map one-to-one to the physical interfaces of the router).
In other words, the SBR incorporates traditional router functionality in addition to relay
characteristics.
The Socket Based Router combines the existing cell relay functionality with the capability to
serve as an Internet Protocol (IP) network router. The SBR includes the capability to perform
the wrapping and unwrapping of the different IP versions. The SBR is a high capacity
OpenWay solution capable of simultaneous support of Wide Area Networks (WAN), Remote
Area Networks (RAN), and Local Area Networks (LAN).
The SBR provides dual-mesh network support by supporting both RFLAN and OpenWay
Riva mesh networks simultaneously while maintaining full cell relay functionality between
RFLAN meters. The SBR also improves OpenWay Riva mesh network by serving as a
gateway for distribution automation and adding new devices and applications such as
OpenWay Riva gas and water metering, streetlights, and future active grid applications
including Distributed Intelligence. Adaptive Communications Technology (ACT) for network
communications and distributed intelligence applications enables the SBR to support
various modulation rates with automatic selection of optimal data rates.
Using an independent base meter along with a specially designed router enclosure allows
the utility more flexibility with inventory management and field support. The SBR can be
serviced or replaced without disrupting meter service. The base meter remains in place
during field activities. The base meter uses a standard 2S form meter socket (either ring or
ringless).
Local access to the Socket Based Router is through secure Wifi. The Socket Based Router
is also accessible using SSH/Telnet through Port 22. Base meter local access is through
either zigbee or the optical port. Backhaul communications are with 4G/LTE cellular with
backward compatibility to 3G.
The Socket Based Router is designed with two field-replaceable battery packs that provide
up to 8 hours of hold-up time. In addition, these dual battery packs permit automated battery
health checks.
