Understanding the AMR On-site and Off–site configuration
AMR On-Site Configuration
The AMR On-Site configuration is a direct connect from the computer’s RS-232 serial port or Ethernet port
to the recorders or meters via the E-Mon Energy™ Key or EKM-E. The computer and the hardware are all
in one location.
The direct serial COM port On-Site Configuration uses the E-Mon Energy Key (RS-232/RS-485) that
converts the RS-485 cable to a RS-232 cable for compatibility with computer communication port.
The Ethernet LAN AMR On-Site Configuration uses the EKM-E (Ethernet/RS-485) that converts the RS-
485 cable to an Ethernet TCP/IP cable for compatibility with computer LAN port.
The illustrations below display the direct serial COM port AMR on-site configuration.
