Address generating device of remote smart meter reading system, and method therefor

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an address generating device of a remote smart meter reading system, and a method therefor, the device including: a first MAC address generation unit expressing, in four bits, respective numbers of a meter ID of a watt-hour meter, and then converting the numbers into hexadecimal numbers so as to generate a first MAC address of 48 bits; a second MAC address generation unit generating a second MAC address of 64 bits by adding bits to the first MAC address; a first IP address generation unit expressing, in four bits, the respective numbers, and then converting the numbers into the hexadecimal numbers and adding bits thereto so as to generate a first IP address of 64 bits being used as an interface ID of IPv6; and a second IP address generation unit generating a second IP address using the second MAC address as the interface ID.
