Page 68: Pulse-Counting Input Parameters
The “Scaling Factor” is not currently supported. The CNI2 has the capacity to save a total of 30,000 pulse-counting records before it starts to overwrite the oldest records. These are divided equally between all active pulse-counting channels. If only one channel is used for pulse-counting then all 30,000 records will be used for that channel. - Page 69 ) must know how many pulse-counting channels are activated. The minimum is 1 and the maximum is 4. When the data collection system receives the pulse records from the CNI2 it expects them to be in a specific order starting with the 1 input and ending with the last.
-
Page 70: Output Parameters
When a line is programmed as an alarm or pulse-counting input its state can be replicated on any one of the output lines, within the frequency limits of the CNI2. This allows other pulse- counting or alarm-sensing equipment to have access to the same information. For instance the CNI2 may be counting pulses and there may be another piece of equipment located nearby that needs to count these pulses too. -
Page 71: Special Purpose" Output
CNI2 Operating and Installation Guide “Special Purpose” Output The CNI2 will use a “special purpose” output to control some operation within the unit assembly, such as turning a power supply on or off. At this time the “Special Purpose” output only applies to Line-12, which is the J7 connector. -
Page 72: Options Screen
Options Screen Applications Selection The CNI2 has several modes of operation. It can serve as a data logger for pulse-counting and alarm sensing applications, a transparent modem to allow the host system to communicate with an external piece of equipment, or as a short-message-service (SMS) modem. -
Page 73: Metretek Invisiconnect
When you use your personal computer to access a website your PC is the client and the website is the server. A client cannot be contacted directly via the Internet. In many cases the CNI2 acts as a client only. However the CNI2 can be “paged”. The page then causes the CNI2 to call back immediately to the central office. -

Rather the CNI2 briefly inspects (“samples”) the condition of the lines one or more times each second. You can configure the CNI2 to take as few as one sample per second or as many as 50 samples per second. The 12 possible input/output lines are divided into two groups, each with its own sampling rate. -
Page 78: Serial Port Configuration Screen
Each serial port must be assigned a unique Port Select ID number. The format follows that of the Primary RUID discussed earlier. Serial Port-1 is the physical port TB2 on the CNI2 board and is automatically set to the Primary RUID. Its Port Select ID is grayed out and cannot be changed. -
Page 79: Flow Control
Hardware handshaking uses additional signals on the hardware interface to stop and start the flow of data from the serial device. On the CNI2’s terminal block is an output signal called DSR. This signal would normally be connected to the “CTS” (clear-to-send) input line on the serial device. -
Page 80: Software Handshaking
Xon/Xoff handshaking (also called “software handshaking”) uses two ASCII characters to stop and start the flow. The CNI2 will send an “Xoff” (19 decimal or 13 hex) to the serial device to stop the transmission, and an “Xon” (17 decimal or 11 hex) to resume transmission. Once an Xoff character is sent the serial device should halt its transmission. -
Page 81: Always Send Connect Message
The CNI2 can also place a call on its own in response to an alarm condition or some other event. In these situations the CNI2 would not normally send a “CONNECT” message to the serial device. -
Page 82: Connect On Dtr High
Some serial devices may indicate a desire to place a call by simply activating a control line. On the CNI2’s TB2 terminal block is an input line called DTR. If the DTR input line on the communications terminal block goes positive, the CNI2 will wait 10 seconds for an “ATD” (dial) or “ATA”... -
Page 83: Disconnect On Dtr Low
Some serial devices may indicate a desire to terminate a call by simply deactivating a control line. On the CNI2’s TB2 terminal block is an input line called DTR. If the DTR input line on the communications terminal block is positive when the call starts, and then goes negative while the call is in progress, the CNI2 will terminate the call. -
Page 84: Cellular Settings Screen
Thus the number of conversations is limited by the overall interference and noise in the room. A cellular account must be activated with a cellular service provider prior to placing a CNI2 into service. The service provider may ask the device type, which must be specified as the “CNI2 / CDMA24”. -
Page 85: Over-The-Air-Activation (Otaa)

Page 112: Form-C Operation
In the illustration alarm sensing or pulse counting is performed on the “INPUT-1” connection only. “INPUT-2” is used for fault detection. The switches should never be open or closed at the same time. If so the CNI2 will report an alarm condition. The next figure shows how a KYZ fault is detected. -
Page 113: Using The Output
The output line can be configured to replicate (follow) any of the input lines. This allows other pulse-counting or alarm-sensing equipment to have access to the same signals. For instance the CNI2 may be counting pulses on Line-2 and another piece of equipment located nearby may need to count these pulses too. -
Page 114: At Modem Emulation Mode
If the CNI2 will respond to AT modem commands in ALL modes of operation. If you have a serial device attached to the CNI2’s serial port it is likely that the device is expecting to communicate with an AT-compatible modem. The acronym “AT” means “attention”. -

Page 116: (Escape) Command
CNI2 Operating and Installation Guide NOTE If the CNI2 detects a decimal point (.) or a forward slash (/) in the dial string it will assume this is an IP address and Port #, and not a standard phone number. -
Page 117: Response To At Commands While In Sleep Mode
In low-power sleep mode the CNI2 shuts down its serial port components in order to conserve power. However the CNI2 can still detect activity on the received data line (RXD) or the DTR line. A jumper on JP3 selects which line to respond to. To detect incoming AT commands the jumper should be set to the position shown here. -

An Internet address and port number must be assigned to the SIP server, and these numbers must be programmed into each CNI2. Your computer systems’ administrator usually assigns the address and port number. -
Page 119: Changing The Data Collection Configuration
Select “SIP Server” for the port type. The port number will be filled in automatically, and must match the port number that was programmed into the CNI2. The default is 50466. If a different port number is being used then hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard, point to the Port Number box and double click on the port number box. -
Page 120: Setting Up Dc-2009 For Csd Connections
On the next screen select the “Analog Modem Ports” tab. Some cellular providers that support CSD calls do not support bit rates below 9600 bps, and the GSM version of the CNI2 does not support anything below 4800 bps. Therefore you will need at least one 9600 bps MODSMOD modem card in the Mercury MODSMOD chassis. -

But if you set the Nuisance Limit to 3 then DC-2009 will instruct the CNI2 to stop calling in after the third report of the same alarm. Later, when the CNI2 calls in at its regularly-scheduled time (12 hours later), the Nuisance Limit will be reset and the unit will again be allowed to report the alarm up to 3 times until the next scheduled call. -
Page 134: Tamper Detect Alarm
If pulse data is not collected often enough there is a chance that the oldest data may be lost due to insufficient memory. This memory is referred to as the “queue” and the CNI2 will call in to report a “Queue Full” alarm when a certain percentage of the queue contains new records. -
Page 135: Remote Daily Volume Low Input-1,2,3,4
Low Battery Alarm This alarm indicates that the battery pack in the CNI2 needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The voltage level at which the alarm will occur is programmed using MP32. The battery should be changed as soon as possible to continue uninterrupted service. -
