Preparing for Installation

To install your meter using the Internet, you will need the following:

Note 2: DSL VoIP phone jacks cannot be used as an Internet source. Do not connect a DSL phone jack directly to the meter.

Access to a computer during installation is recommended.

Wireless: Step 2 through Step 8 must be completed before wireless installation.

Technical Requirements:

IP Address

- Automatic assignment with DHCP and DNS server capability (most networks have this), or
