DLMSDirector

Hello,

I found an inconsistent behavior of Gurux DLMS Director while writing a value to a meter.

It is a Data Class where the Value attribute have type OCTET-STRING[12]

If I read the value, the meter answer with something like this:

09 0C xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx which is correct.

If I write the value, the Gurux DLMS director generates something like this:

0A 0C xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

Then, the request is rejected because the received type (VISIBLE-STRING) is different than meter type (OCTET-STRING).

I understand that behavior of DLMS director is incorrect, if the type of the attribute is OCTET-STRING, DLMS director must create the request with the same type not with a different one.

Thanks,
