Hi,

Elster is using IEC 62056-21 protocol. That is ASCII protocol and GXDLMSDirector is not supporting it.

Hi,

You can skip serial number if you have only one meter. Serial number is needed if there are several meters that are sharing same connection. Example RS-485.

EC IEC62056-21

Hi,

This is correct. Your serial port settings should be.
Baudrate: 9600
Stop bits: 1.
Parity: Even.
