3. Get From Meter
If the meter is already configured with a DNP database,
then the User may transfer an existing DNP database
configuration into the web interface by using the “Get
From Meter” option. This option is particularly useful
when the User wants to modify an existing configura-
tion.
4. Save To Meter
When the User completes the configuration of the DNP
database on the web interface, the User must transfer
this configuration into the PXM meter. By using the
“Save To Meter” option, this operation is achieved.

Unless the meter reboots after using the “Save to
Meter” option, the newly configured database will
not be effective. After using this option, the web
interface will prompt the User if the PXM meter
needs to be rebooted or not. The User may choose
to reboot immediately or must reboot meter manual-
ly later so that the modified DNP database becomes
effective.
5.5 Procedure to Create the DNP3 Database
Configuration
Appendix A provides a list of meter parameters which
can be added to the DNP database. The User needs to
select parameters from the list and add them to the DNP3
database. For easy selection, the meter parameters are
arranged as per DNP object groups in the Input Output web
page.
The procedure for selecting and adding parameters to the
DNP3 database is same for all objects. Each tab is assigned
to particular DNP3 objects. Each tab has buttons and there
functionality is explained in the following.
