DLMSDirector

Hi,
I am trying to communicate with the Metcom MCS301 electricity meter through the Gurux GXDLMSDirector program. I am also attaching a screenshot of the settings. Can you advise me how to find out the physical address of the electricity meter?
Well thank you.

I use RS-485. I don't get answers from the electricity meter because I can't find out its physical address. I couldn't find anything about the address in the documentation for the electricity meter.

Hi,

Change the interface from HdlcWithModeE to HDLC if you are connecting with RS-485.
