Hey,
I posted here first http://www.gurux.fi/comment/8841#comment-8841.
My problem is that I don't quite understand how I can connect to the meter.
I mean, it's a client-server model, the meter being the server, but I don't know how I can put the server running on the meter.
It's going to be connected through ethernet to an adaptor connected to the RS232C port of the meter and I still don't have the adaptor so I can't test using the GXDLMSDirector, not do I understand how it "talks" to the meter. Do i just run it and connect through ethernet and it works?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If you have meter where is DLMS label you do not need to put server to the meter. It's there already.
You just put right parameters to the client and you can read it, example with GXDLMSDirector.
If you want to create own meter, then you implement DLMS server using our components and make own logic there.

Thanks, I'm understanding it
Thanks, I'm understanding it better know.
Been following your tutorial to create a client, here http://www.gurux.fi/Gurux.DLMS.Client.
Can you tell me exactly which does "Media" and "WaitTime" represents?
Also next, on the AARE request part you assign to "reply" from the method "readDLMSPacket" when splitting to multiple packets but "readDLMSPacket" method is void.
Best regards

Hi,
Media is used connection type. Example: Serial Port, TCP/IP connection, etc.
Wait time is how long reply is waited for send message.
Method readDLMSPacket is void because one message can be splitted to several packets.
For this reason we must add received data to one message.
