Additional System Processing - DUIS

Upon receipt of a Response to this Service Request containing a Firmware Version value:

  • if the Target Device Type is ESME, GSME, HCALCS, PPMID or CHF and the Firmware Version returned by the Device matches an entry on the CPL for that Device Model, but is different from that stored in the SMI, the DCC Systems shall update the Firmware Version in the SMI to the value returned by the Device. Note that updating the Firmware Version may also update the Device’s GBCS Version in the SMI.
    • If the target Device is CHF, the associated GPF Firmware Version shall also be updated.
    • If the Firmware Version entry on the CPL for that Device Model has a status of “Current” and the Read Firmware Version Service Request was not submitted by the Responsible Supplier, DCC Alert N49 shall be sent to the Responsible Supplier.
    • If the Firmware Version entry on the CPL for that Device Model has a status of ‘Removed’, the SMI Firmware Version shall be updated, and the Device Status shall be set to ‘Suspended’ (where the target Device is CHF, the associated GPF Device Status shall also be set to ‘Suspended’). In this case DCC Alert N50 shall be sent to the Responsible Supplier . In addition, DCC Alert N28 will be sent to the Responsible Supplier and to the Electricity Distributor or Gas Transporter to notify the suspension of the Device. All DSP Future Dated and Scheduled Service Requests shall be deleted for the ‘Suspended’ Device(s) and DCC Alerts N40 and N41 will be sent to the Users responsible for those Service Requests.
    • Where the DeviceFirmwareVersion for the specified Device is now the current valid version, and the Device Status was ‘Suspended’ and the Firmware Version returned by the Device matches an entry on the CPL for that Device Model with a status of “Current”, the DCC Systems shall update the Device Status to the status it held immediately prior to its suspension and DCC Alert N29 will be sent to the Responsible Supplier and to the Electricity Distributor or Gas Transporter.
  • if the Target Device Type is ESME, GSME, HCALCS, PPMID or CHF and the Firmware Version returned by the Device does not match an entry on the CPL for that Device Model, but is different from that stored in the SMI, DCC Alert N51 will be sent to the Responsible Supplier and the SMI Firmware Version will be updated with the Firmware Version returned by the Device. The Device’s GBCS Version in the SMI will not be updated since there is no CPL entry on which to base an update.
    • As there is no entry on the CPL, the Device Status of the Device shall be set to ‘Suspended’ and an additional DCC Alert N28 shall be sent to the Responsible Supplier and to the Electricity Distributor or Gas Transporter.
    • If the target Device is CHF, the associated GPF Firmware Version shall also be updated and the GPF Device Status shall also be set to ‘Suspended’.
    • All DSP Future Dated and Scheduled Service Requests shall be deleted for the ‘Suspended’ Device(s) and DCC Alerts N40 and N41 will be sent to the Users responsible for those Service Requests.
  • if the Target Device Type is GPF and the GSME Firmware Version returned by the GPF is different from that stored in the SMI, DCC Alert N52 will be sent to the Responsible Supplier as a warning and the SMI Firmware Version will not be updated.
