Abstract:
A method executed by a concentrator connected between a plurality of remote units and a management server, the method including: (i) receiving and storing properties data associated with a remote unit including a microengine and a meter for measuring usage of a resource at a customer's premises, the properties data representing a profile of the remote unit; (ii) receiving message data representing a request associated with the remote unit from the management server; (iii) generating response data representing a response to the request based on the message data and the stored properties data; and (iv) sending the response data to one of the remote unit and the management server, as determined by the request based on the message data.

Claim (Index 22):
A method executed by a concentrator connected between a plurality of remote units and a management server, the method including:\n (i) receiving and storing properties data from a remote location and associated with a remote unit including a microengine and a meter for measuring usage of a resource at a customer's premises, the properties data representing a profile of the remote unit and including communications parameters and device parameters, the communications parameters representing selectable communications protocols and associated equipment the microengine supports; (ii) receiving message data representing a request associated with the remote unit from the management server; (iii) generating response data representing a response to the request based on the message data and the stored properties data; and (iv) sending the response data to one of the remote unit and the management server, as determined by the request based on the message data, wherein the properties data representing the communications parameters is used to determine the selectable communications protocols and associated equipment the microengine supports and establish an available communications link among multiple different communications links supported by at least some of the selectable communications protocols the microengine supports by selecting and using the respective communications parameters of the properties data for the determined communication link to send the response data to the remote unit, wherein the respective communications parameters are for a new interface added to the profile and are transmitted to the microengine when interfaces of the determined communications link do not match.
