ORION Status Checker lets utility field support personnel with the appropriate permission search for and verify the status of endpoints during the endpoint installation process.
Do the following to get started:
- Use a web browser to log into https://orionstatus.beaconama.net/ or if your utility is in Canada, https://orionstatus.beaconama.ca/
TIP: Use the drop-down language picker to select one of English (the default), Spanish, French.
- Enter your BEACON username and password, then click Login.
- Enter an endpoint serial number in the search box located in the upper left corner of the screen and press Search. Alternately, click an endpoint serial number in the table. This lets you quickly get the status of an endpoint before or after installation.
TIP: Performing this step after an installation lets you verify that the endpoint has sufficient signal strength to communicate with BEACON.
| Field Name | Description |
| Encoder Serial Number | The serial number of the encoder that the endpoint is connected to. If no encoder is detected, this field will be blank. |
| Customer Name | Name of the utility that commissioned the endpoint installation work order. |
| Activation Time | The most recent Endpoint Activation time in the local timezone of the device being used to view ORION Status Checker. |
| Signal Strength |  Good – the RSSI is between 0 and -100.  Marginal – RSSI is less than -100. |
| Endpoint Status | Can be one of: Tamper, Encoder Error or both. |
| Meter Status | Can be one of Sensor Error, Empty Pipe or both. |
| Last Register Read | Most recent encoder read. |
4. Skip Step 3 to see a paginated table that lets you check the status of every endpoint in the utility inventory.
| Field Name | Description |
| Endpoint SN | Endpoint serial numbers. |
| Signal Strength | Good – the RSSI is between 0 and -100. Marginal – RSSI is less than -100. |
| Endpoint Status | Can be one of: Tamper, Encoder Error or both. |
| Meter Status | Can be one of Sensor Error, Empty Pipe or both. |
| Encoder SN | The serial number of the encoder that the endpoint is connected to. If no encoder is detected, this field will be blank. |
| Activation Time | The most recent Endpoint Activation time in the local timezone of the device being used to view ORION Status Checker. |
| Customer Name | Name of the utility that commissioned the endpoint installation work order. |
| Highlight |  Click an icon to highlight endpoints of interest. TIP: When the page refreshes, highlighting helps identify endpoints of interest. |
Click Clear All Highlights to remove highlighting from the table.
- Click-drag any Field name to reposition that column.
- Click any Field name to sort the search results by values in that column.
- Double-click the “|” between Field names to expand the field to the left of the “|”.

The three buttons in the upper right corner let you:
- Toggle Auto-Refresh on and off. When on, the page reloads every five seconds.
- Click Export to get a CSV-format list of all endpoint status.
- Click Logout to exit the application.
Export
When clicked, the Export button opens a drawer.
- Click anywhere in the Start Date field and use the Calendar to pick a start date that corresponds to the earliest endpoint activation date of interest.
- Click anywhere in the End Date field and use the Calendar to pick an end date that corresponds to the most recent endpoint activation date of interest.
- Click Preview to review the data for up to 50 endpoints before performing the export.
Click the X in the upper right corner to close the preview.
TIP: If you do not provide start and end dates, the export will return data for all of the active endpoints in the selected utility.
Multi-Utility Login
Users with login access to more than one utility can use the Customer Name drop-down menu (pictured above) to select the utility whose endpoints are being installed.
When available, click Load More to see additional endpoints.
