Hi,

Hi,

You usually update the password for the connected association.
But yes, Indian meters allow updating low-level (MR) password when connected with High authentication (US). This is added for the Indian meters.

If you want to use this return ReadWrite access for the secret (attribute #7) in getAssociationAttributeAccess-method.

Mikko

Hi,

Hi,

You must also update the low-level password on the server-side in post_write.
It's updated for the US association.

Hi Mikko,

Hi Mikko,
As you said that, I updated low -level password in Post_write function in the exampleserver.c file but when I am changing the low association password it is effecting high association instead of low association.
if meter switched off it working fine. but in real-time scenario meter switch off is not required na?
please help me where is the problem?

Hi,

Hi,

Add this to preWrite. It will handle it.

//If client try to update low level password when high level authentication is established.
//This is possible in Indian standard.
if (e->target == BASE(associationHigh) && e->index == 7)
{
ret = cosem_getOctetString(e->value.byteArr, &associationLow.secret);
saveSettings();
e->handled = 1;
}
