Hi,

Hi, Check the meter…

Hi,

Check the meter documentation to ensure that you are using the correct client address. One of your settings is different from what the meter expects.

Hi I managed to connect to…

Hi
I managed to connect to the meter on different settings and read some variables. This confirms that the physical connection to the meter is correct. Unfortunately, the registers with the power measurement values ​​that interest me are missing. I suspect that this is due to reading without authorization.

Below are my settings:
- Interface: HDLC
- Authentication: none
- Password:
- Wait time: 00:00:05
- Address Type: Default
- Logical Server: 0
- Media: Net
- Client address: 16
- Resend count: 3
- Physical server: 1

- Host name: 10.249.79.4
- Port: 4004
- Protocol: TCP

Hi,

You are right. You need to change the authentication level and client address. I removed the hex trace because it doesn't provide any information and makes this hard to read.
