Good morning Marinus, hope you are doing well. Have you managed to program the old HXE Hexing meters remotely yet? I have 400 meters, whose GPRS settings I need to change, it will cost a few rand to go to each one with a laptop. Do you have a plan? Can you write a script that can do something like this? All the modems connect to 2229, Hexing modems.

HXE110KP?

With internal GPRS modem?

The old HXE330KP and HXF300.
Internal modem, yes.

Yes I think you should be able to do it with the real time components. The obis codes are configurable, and you can set them

Do you have a cost in mind for writing something like this? Rather than going out to every meter. Dimension Data sold the data center where the server currently stands, I have to move the server and I lose the IP that the modems connect to, 41.86.55.55 (changed to sanitise data).

already developed. I think your server already has it?

edit->Real Time OBIS Codes

I think the remote IP is at

(IP)1,0.129.25.0.137.255,2[0]

so you put it in and tick writeable

then in the View->Meter Realtime Values

then you can see the current value, and set a new value

Hi Marinus. I get the error below when I request the IP on the OBIS code page. I tried several versions without success.

GET did not succeed (1) code: object-undefined-4

okay If you use the desktop software, which OBIS does it use?

read it a bit with HexView, and send me the hex comms log please

Morning Marinus. I have tried quite a few codes now, no success. The Hexview software also shows no information. I downloaded a serial monitoring tool, don't know if it can help?

so the GET for Port Number is therefore class 41, OBIS 0.11.25.0.0.255, attribute 2

and the GET for APN is therefore class 45, OBIS 0.11.25.4.0.255, attribute 2

the GET for die Server IP is therefore class 45, OBIS 0.11.25.4.0.255, attribute 5

and the format is a string, it seems to me that he wants one to always use 3 digits per IP number, e.g. 041.086.112.240

So I think, in the real time OBIS screen you should be able to manage with

45,0.11.25.4.0.255,5
