Performing Remote Analysis (TWACS NG)

Complete the following steps to determine if a field visit is required for an 

unresponsive meter. You can end the procedure at any step and correct the problem 

when a cause of failure is determined.

If communication fails to the transponder, check the path and search state of 

the transponder. You may do this by going to System Monitoring > Edit 

Path > Search States.

Type in the serial number of the transponder and click 

.

If the transponder is currently in the New, Lost or Tentative path state, the 

the TWACS NG will need to search the transponder. The TWACS NG 

Operator will need to be sure that it is in a search state of Ready. The search 

batch job should automatically pick up the transponder for search when the 

next job runs.

If the transponder is in a Good/Done state, the TWACS NG Operator may 

issue a ping to the transponder. You may do this by going to System 

Monitoring > Test Transponder screen.

Type in the serial number or Meter/End Device ID and click 

.

If the ping is successful, communication to the transponder is successful 

and has been verified. If the transponder is still not functioning as expected, 

a field visit will most likely be necessary.
