8.5. Communication protocols and networking
The communication between the meter's RS232 or RS485 serial port and a central system (or network) can be
managed in the following three modes:
Direct IP over Ethernet
Direct IP over GPRS
In the above two modes the meter is communicating directly with the network system through the modem.
Therefore, to ensure the modem is transparent to the communication operation, the modem driver must be
integrated into the meter.
Tunnelling GPRS
In this mode the modem receives data from the meter in HDLC protocol (via the serial port) and manages
the communication operation.
ACE6000 Compatibility information
All existing Mark 1 and Mark 2 version meters are compatible with the following communication modes when
using a suitable RS232 or RS485 Sparklet modem.
Direct IP over Ethernet
Tunnelling GPRS
Note: Meters equipped with an RS485 serial port can only communicate with the network system in the above
modes.
The Direct IP over GPRS communication mode is:
Compatible with Mark 2 meters equipped with an RS232 serial port (meter firmware version 2.6 onwards)
Not supported by RS485 Sparklet modem type
Fixed or Dynamic IP addresses
The meter can be configured for either fixed or dynamic IP address operation when using:
an APN (Access Point Name)
the Direct TCP IP communication mode
the Tunnelling communication mode
