DLMS error code Exception response error from meter

Hi,
One of our client getting Exception response error ( Operation-not-possible) error from meter. When can meter send this error??
And what are all the test scenarios to recreate this issue ?

We are currently implementing code to handle Authentication error when we establish an AA with the ESME (i.e., mismatch of the EK/AK keys in Head end system and ESME). We have used scope-of-access-violated (13) error from the ESME as an authentication failure indicator but the responses returned seems inconsistent:

can you please confirm the test scenario to reproduce Operation-not-possible error code from ESME.

Thank you.

Hi Vikas,

Operation-not-possible means usually that the client tries to read or write something, but the connection is not established for the meter.

Hi,

There might be lots of reasons for this error.

I need the communication hex trace to check what might cause this.

Hi,

You try to establish a secured connection without ciphering.

Another issue is that when you send the client to server challenge, the meter doesn't accept it and it returns Operation-not-possible error. Usually meter returns some other error for this.

Add ciphering. I believe that is the main reason for this error.
