ABSTRACT:
A power monitoring device in a power utility system having an interactive display that allows an end user of the power monitoring device to communicate voice and optionally video data over the Internet protocol with a support operator at a remote system. The interactive display includes an input panel for accepting user inputs, and a video display for displaying power-related data monitored by the power monitoring device. The power-related data is communicated over a communications medium, such as Ethernet, to the remote system for diagnostics, troubleshooting, setup and configuration, and the like. The input panel features one-touch voice and optionally video communication with a support operator by an end user standing in front of the interactive display. The remote system can also download firmware or software upgrades to the power monitoring device via the communications medium according to the Internet protocol.
