iMeter setting up 

Once the iMeter is physically placed and connected to the meter, the iMeter must be set up by the 
PaLFI dongle and a PDA, which set the installation configuration to the iMeter, and starts the iMeter 
up.

3.1.  PaLFI dongle settings 

The dongle is a short range frequency device used for the communication between the PDA and the 
iMeter. The configuration is set up in the iMeter through it. 

The dongle must be placed on the iMeter, on the upper front, close to the wire, as you can see in 
the following picture. It also can be placed in the back part, and it can be placed even through the 
cover of the boundary box.
