The endpoint SIM must be active in order for the endpoint to join AT&T’s wireless network and reg-
ister with Command Center.

NOTE: Meters must have custom attributes programmed at the time of manufacture. The cellular 
endpoints are unique in that the SIM card must be activated prior to deployment of the endpoints.

New meters can be installed with no special tools required. The device is plug and play; this means 
that the installer can plug the meter in, and walk away.

When the meter is powered up it will perform the following:

Transmit Init Push packet. The endpoint will send an Init Push Packet about 1-2 minutes 
after it acquires a network, then every 12 hours until it receives the Confirm Registration 
command.

Transmit Registration packet. The registration packet identifies the device on the network. 
Once this packet is received by Command Center, the endpoint will transition to Discovered 
status. 

The M2M Adapter is responsible for generating and transmitting the registration packet as 
soon as it receives an Init Push Packet from the endpoint.

The Init Push packet contains configuration information, that allows Command Center to understand 
the configuration of the meter. This information will vary dependent on the configuration of the 
meter, but generally includes:

Reporting for Interval Data

Reporting for Register Data

Time Synchronization parameters

GMT offset
