CA 2427773

A utility meter and corresponding communication board comprises an installation channel, a processor, software selection lines, and at least one network interface element. Types of communication networks with which a utility meter is to be interfaced are inputted as information through an installation channel such as a modem, optical port, or other communication channel. This information is processed and software selection lines are provided to respective network interface elements. Each programmed network interface element can be configured to connect to a selected one of existing standard networks RS232, RS485, RS422 or other communication network. Since a single communication board in accordance with the disclosed technology interfaces with a variety of communication networks, a more efficient and cost effective network selection and implementation mechanism is provided.
