Data transfer verification
Before the actual data transmission, the communication link,(e.g., call window, modem used) for a destination
must be specified. Eight separate connections can be programmed.

For parameterization of the EK280 you will require a connection cable for the optical interface as
well as the enSuite application at least with version 2.4, which can be downloaded for free at
www.elster.com.
The paths which are subsequently described can be found in the
enSuite
program under
"

Meaning
cycle
Cycle of a regular time window connection (e.g. hourly, daily, weekly, monthly)

End of a time window connection (e.g. daily at 11:59 PM, or another time)
StCon
Current status of this connection
If the conditions for activating the time window connection are satisfied, then the interface is opened and the
EK280 is ready to act as a recipient. If a modem is connected to this interface then the EK280 is only ready to
act as a recipient after a further 30 seconds.
The conditions for activating a time window connection are:
-
Is the current device time within the time window which has been parameterized?
-
Does the supply to the EK280 correspond with the parametrization of the connection?
