Quick Start Guide
Product Description
The Communications Adapter is a lightweight, compact device that is designed to ensure
comfortable carrying and holding by the tool user. The adapter tool is capable of decoding one-way
and two-way networks in a Gridstream environment. The device also incorporates a bluetooth
module that provides communication to the tool device (tablet or laptop) and eliminates the need for
serial cable connection. Two-way communication with the adapter provides the capability to
transmit and receive data from AMI endpoints. One-way communication operates in a listener mode
and provides ability to decode packets from AMR devices including gas and water modules.
