Attaching the P1-dongle to the P1-port

The following assumes you have a Fluvius (Flemish) digital meter

Open the yellow cover in the lower left corner of the digital meter. Plug the other end of the cable into the P1 port on the right.

The left port is the S1 port and is not used by the dongle.

The dongle is now connected to the meter and is starting up. The LED should go from red to green.
