This module provides an overview of the capabilities of the GenX UIQ Advanced Metering Management (AMM) software, including key terms and concepts, how to monitor and manage electric and gas meters, access points, and relay devices. An overview of Home Area Networking (HAN) is included along with discussions of metering and system integration basics.

Module 2: AMM.200: AMM System Operator

This module provides information about how to use the Advanced Meter Management (AMM) system to manage Smart Grid devices.  It describes the user interface and device states, and how to perform day-to-day operator tasks such as searching for devices, viewing device status, checking device connectivity, provisioning devices remotely, and generating reports.

Module 3: AMM.250: AMM System Manager

This module describes how to configure the Advanced Meter Management (AMM) software used to effectively monitor and manage your GenX Smart Grid devices. Details about meter programs, scheduling meter reads, managing background jobs and schedule and read events are covered. Importing device and location information, viewing, creating, and editing data export jobs, monitoring network and device events, generating reports, and performing user administration tasks round out the course. 

Module 4: NC.200: Network Center

This module provides an overview of the capabilities of the Itron Network Center software, including key terms and concepts, how it’s used to baseline performance of neighborhood area networks (NAN) devices, to perform basic troubleshooting tasks, and how to interpret the data and results in associated reports.

Module 5: FWU.200: Firmware Upgrader 

This module provides an overview of the capabilities of the Firmware Upgrader (FWU). Learn how to use the GenX Firmware Upgrader. Learn the principles of the firmware upgrade process as well as how to configure, schedule and run firmware upgrades. 

Module 6: MPC.200: Meter Program Configurator Training

MPC (Meter Program Configurator) course reviews the principles of meter programs and the use of the product on creating and performing over the air meter program updates. 

Module 7: SEC.101: Introduction to Itron GenX Security

This lecture module covers the fundamentals of the Itron GenX hardware and software security solution.  In this course you will learn the ways that hackers attack and friendlies can misuse the system and how Itron addresses these concerns with a layered security approach.  We will discuss PKI certificates and how Itron leverages this technology to provide security at all layers of the solution.

Module 8:SIQ.200: SensorIQ

This hands-on course covers the basic concepts and procedures associated with the SensorIQ product.  In this course you will learn about the 3 ways data can be collected from NICs using SensorIQ, the types of data that can be collected and how to interpret and use the data that is collected.

Module 9: SEC.200: Secure FSU

This course provides an overview of the capabilities of the Secure Access Manager (SAM) used in conjunction with the Field Service Unit (FSU).  It includes an overview of the Itron GenX basic field security technology and tools. Students will learn the features, benefits and limitations enforced using the tools. Students will also learn how to use install, configure and use SAM.

Module 10: ODS.200: Outage Detection System

This module focuses on the Outage Detection module.  Learn how the ODS system receives power loss and power restore signal, how they are reported in the system, and how it passes messages to downstream systems such as OMS systems for processing.

Module 11: TLS.210: Communications Tester

This module provides a hands-on laboratory of managing communications Network Interface Cards (NIC) using Field Service Units (FSU) and Communications Tester. It focuses on deployment, configuration and management of the FSU hardware.
