Unable to read values in DLMSDirector

Forums
DLMSDirector

Hi,

First of all, I'm sorry if this query is already asked in the forum. I am new to DLMS so trying to figure some things out.

I am trying to read values in the GXDLMSDirector but it is giving an error saying 'Specifying argument was out of the range of valid values'. I am using the server example given on github () and in the DLMSDirector, I'm using the manufacturer as Gurux, Hostname as localhost and Port as 4061 as it is the one for connection over TCP/IP.

Looking forward to a quick response.

Elster communication via Terminal

Forums
DLMSDirector

I guess my first question is, is it possible to use DLMSDirector to connect to an Elster A1700 (or AS230)?

I keep getting 'Failed to receive answer from the modem. Check serial port' - although the modem is dialing the number and the modem attached to the meter is answering (from listening in).

Invalid password. Server to Client challange do not match

Forums
DLMSDirector

I created a sample meter with an Arduino Mega using Gurux's sample Arduino code then tried to connect to it using the DLMS director. I If I connect with the authentication set to High and password as 'Gurux' (as described in Gurux's youtube video about the DLMS director) I get an error message: 'Invalid password. Server to Client challange do not match.' I am able to connect to the meter when I set the authentication to none. Request you to please help in this regard.

Thanks

Issues about getting all OBIS from ZIV5CTM

Forums
DLMSDirector

Hi,

As it was forementioned in another topics, "increasing authentication" we can read all objects from the smartmeter. I have already increased to "Low" and I have used a couples of passwords provided by the owner of the smarmeter, but I obtain some errors. I tried also change to "Reading Client" for checking energy data (Client Id. 2) . Dou you have any idea what could be my problem? Maybe the passwords are provided are wrong ? or should I add an optic probe? Im only using serial communication via USB-RS232.
