Opening a meter security configuration file

Meter security settings are stored in an encrypted Security Configuration File (SCF).

Use ION Setup to open a SCF file.

Prerequisites:

  • Meter connection using ION Setup.
  • Login credentials.
  • Security configuration access privileges.

To open the meter security configuration file:

  1. In ION Setup, select the meter, and then open Setup Assistant.
  2. Click Security > Security Mode > Edit.
  3. Enter the meter password, and then click OK.
  4. Select the SCF file that you want to edit, and then click Open.

    5. NOTE: We recommend that you use Advanced security mode.

    For more information on SCF files, see Storing Security Configuration Files.

    The meter security configuration settings open in the ION Setup Security wizard.

Next, configure the meter security settings.
