1. Setup
Step 1: Prerequisite software and hardware
1) Access to an Ethernet connection directly connected to the Internet, e.g router.
2) A PC or other device with a web browser and an internet connection (for access to cloud service).
Step 2: Register your EAGLE™
If you purchased the Pre-Provisioning Service from Southwest Energy Smarts proceed directly to Step 3.
• Set up an account at http://www.smartmetertexas.com
You will need to provide your name, email address, ESIID and meter number (from your electricity bill)
• Under My Account / HAN Devices, select “Add Device”
You will need to supply the MAC Address and Install Code found on the back of your EAGLETM
Note that it may take some time for your utility to enable the smart meter to connect with your device (status on
SMT will indicate “meter ready”. You must wait until this process is complete before proceeding; your EAGLE™
will not function correctly until the smart meter is enabled.
Once this step is complete you have 21 days to complete Step 3 or you will have to start the provisioning
process again! (Further details of this procedure can be found at http://swesmarts.com/products/support)
Step 3: Power up your EAGLE™
1) Plug the Ethernet cable into a port on your router, and the other end into the Ethernet port on your
EAGLE™.
2) Plug the AC adapter into a nearby wall outlet, and plug the other end into the power socket on your
EAGLE™.
3) Allow two minutes for the device to boot up. You should see that the Power, ZigBee, and Ethernet status
LED lights are all on continuously. This indicates that the unit is functioning normally.
Step 4: Connect to your EAGLE™
You should now be able to connect to your EAGLE™ using a web browser.
Type the Local Web Address of the EAGLE™ (found on the Information Label) into the URL field of your web
browser and connect.
When your web browser connects to the EAGLE™, you should see the Web Viewer home page:
You may have to wait a short while until the time and date are loaded.

Note: The computer running the web browser must be connected to the same router as the EAGLE™, and the
computer must also be running multicast Domain Name System (mDNS), which is known as Bonjour on Apple
computers. mDNS may be already installed on your computer, as many printers and Apple’s iTunes use this
protocol. If you need to manually install mDNS on your Windows PC, you can find instructions at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999.No further configuration is required for Mac computers.
