Secure Communications:

The EPM 9990P offers 9 levels of password security to protect the meter from unauthorized use. Each level can be configured to enable specific capabilities, so that a Utility can control access to functions according to the type of user. For example, one user level is able to create and change TOU calendars, while a different user level is able to read TOU data, but not change anything.

The IEC 61850 Protocol Server allows up to 6 simultaneous MMS clients.

Either Ethernet port can be configured for IEC 61850 (only one port at a time can run IEC 61850)

GOOSE publisher/subscriber functionality is supported.

Buffered and unbuffered reports are supported for the following triggers: general meter interrogation, for example, the report is generated in response to a query; meter integrity, for example, the report is generated according to a programmed interval; and data change, for example, the report is generated due to a change in the contents of a dataset.

File transfer is supported
