Gurux.DLMS

Hi,

I am trying to use the latest version of Gurux.DLMS.cpp on windows but I am confused how to set the authentication.
I initiate the meter as below:
CGXDLMSClient cl(true, 3, serverAddress, GXDLMS_AUTHENTICATION_LOW, "ABCDEFGH");
It, however, sends "34 E6 30 00 00 00 00 00" to the meter as the password and then I get:
AARQRequest failed 21.
InitializeConnection failed Authentication mechanism name not recognised..

I would be pleased if you help me know how to initiate with authentication.

Thank you for your kind help and attention.

Best regards,
Leila

Set AUTHENTICATION in Gurux.DLMS.cpp (new API)

Hi Mikko,

Thank you for your new version. I already tested it. It worked well on windows but in ubuntu OS it sends "2F 65 74 63 2F 6C 6F 63" as the password.
My setting is:
CGXDLMSClient cl(true, 3, serverAddress, GXDLMS_AUTHENTICATION_LOW, "ABCDEFGH", GXDLMS_INTERFACETYPE_HDLC);

Thank you again.

Best regards,
Leila
