ION

ION is the architecture of your meter.
The basic building blocks of ION architecture are the ION modules, each of which is specialized to
perform a specific task and contains data and instructions on how to manage that data. ION
modules are linked together to create the meter's functions and features. ION modules that are
linked together to perform a specialized task are called a framework, such as the Power Quality
framework. These different functional frameworks are then grouped together to define the entire
meter and are collectively referred to as the device template.
Your meter ships with a default device template which provides extensive capabilities. You can
also configure the meter's template to modify existing meter functions or to create new functions.

Secure ION

Secure ION, or ION over TLS, enhances the security of the ION protocol by using a Transport
Layer Security (TLS) encrypted tunnel between the device and the software client.
NOTE: The additional TLS layer applies to a TCP/IP based connection (Ethernet) only. It does
not apply to serial communications.
To use Secure ION your IT infrastructure must be configured to allow the traffic on the Secure ION
port to pass. The default port for Secure ION is 7443.
Connecting to a device using Secure ION
Use ION software to connect to a device using Secure ION.
If you are using ION Setup in Network mode or WimPM.Net, configure the device to use the
Secure ION programmed IP port.
Prerequisites:
Your IT infrastructure must be configured to allow the traffic on the Secure ION port to pass.
