Setting up Communications
You can communicate with your meters via a PC RS-232

or a wireless GPRS Dial-Up connection, and via the USB port.
To configure your communications with the
PowerSmart Socket PQM:
1. Select Configuration from the Tools menu. Under the
Communication group on the Instrument Setup tab,
select the type of connection for your device.
2. Set the device communication address you assigned to
the PowerSmart Socket PQM port. When
communicating via the Ethernet or a GPRS modem,
the PowerSmart Socket PQM responds to any address
you select.
3. In the “Sampling Rate” box, select a rate at which
Power Software updates data on your screen when you
continuously poll the device in the Power Software
Data Monitor.
The communication protocol and port settings must match
the settings you made in your meter.
