Under **Configuration → Grid & market → DSO RTU settings** you configure the grid operator that sends remote control signals to your installation. Fluvius calls this mechanism **telecontrole**; the platform uses the operator-independent term **DSO RTU**.

*The provider selection. The sections below it depend on the provider.*

The page starts with the **telecontrol provider**. The sections that follow depend on the operator you pick:

| Section | Provider | Needed for | What it configures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Telecontrol emergency stops | Fluvius | Every connection | Per stop, what triggers it and which relay outputs carry it out. See [Emergency stop](https://voltmasters.io/en/docs/dso-rtu/io-module/emergency-stop/). |
| Flex according to the study | Fluvius | Technical flex, Fall-Back Flex | Whether technical flex applies and the registered flexible consumption power. |
| Asset reference powers | Fluvius, EME eCON+ | Technical flex | The two registered powers the asset setpoints are percentages of. |
| Netflex measurement channels | Fluvius | Every connection | The channel each device is reported in, and the check against the zone sheet. |
| Devices for telecontrol | Fluvius | Every connection | Which PV inverters and batteries belong to the registered asset group. |
| Fall-Back Flex | Fluvius | Fall-Back Flex | The congestion formula, its powers and the day-ahead planning API. |
| EME eCON+ connection | EME eCON+ | Every connection | The Modbus connection to the panel and the Fluvius version it converts. |
| Switch positions | Sibelga | Every connection | The breaker feedback inputs reported to the operator. |
| ORES watchdogs | ORES | Watchdog on hardwired contacts | The hardwired watchdog pair, when it is not carried over Modbus. |

For Fluvius, [Configuring Fluvius telecontrole](https://voltmasters.io/en/docs/dso-rtu/grid-operators/fluvius/configuration/) walks through every section in order, with the document each value comes from. For the other operators see [Sibelga](https://voltmasters.io/en/docs/dso-rtu/grid-operators/sibelga/), [ORES](https://voltmasters.io/en/docs/dso-rtu/grid-operators/ores/) and the [EME eCON+ panel](https://voltmasters.io/en/docs/dso-rtu/grid-operators/fluvius/eme-econ-plus/).

### Frequently asked questions

**How do I know who my DSO RTU provider is?**

Your DSO RTU provider is stated in your contract with your grid operator. Your installer sets the correct provider during commissioning.

**My provider is not in the list, what should I do?**

Some providers need a recent controller version; update the controller first. If the provider still does not appear, contact Voltmasters Support. A missing provider must first be added to the platform before it can be selected.

**Where do I see what the grid operator is sending right now?**

On the [DSO RTU dashboard](https://voltmasters.io/en/docs/voltmasters-platform/dashboards/dso-rtu-dashboard/) under Monitoring: the live snapshot of every setpoint and emergency stop, and the history of every command the RTU sent.

For the technical background, the per-operator specifics and the IO module installation instructions, see the [DSO RTU](https://voltmasters.io/en/docs/dso-rtu/) section.
