DLMSDirector

Hello, I was trying to use Gurux DLMS/COSEM Director to connect to a meter and try
to read some data but got some difficulties:

1st Experiment:
First experiment was with an optical interface (BLUSKY) and a Landis+Gyr meter.
I added the device with the configurations:
Start Protocol: IEC, Media: Serial

Authentication: None
Wait Time: 20, Client Address: 10
Address Type: SerialNumber
Serial number: , Logical Server: 1
Serial Port: COM9, The configurations for Serial Port, are correct.

I used Gurux Director version 7.0. The log produced by the commands sent to the meter was:

17:38:43 Initializing serial connection.
17:38:43 HDLC sending:/?95387665!
17:38:45 HDLC received: /LGZ5\2ZMG3104407.P03
17:38:45 BaudRate is : 9600
17:38:45 Moving to mode E.
06 32 35 32 0D 0A
17:38:45 Disconnect request
17:38:45 Failed to receive reply from the device in given time.

I would appreciate if you could explain me what is the "Client Address" field and
the "Logical Server" field.
And also what is the possible reason I can't get a response from the smart meter.

2nd Experiment:
With a serial interface over GSM device, with a Landis+Gyr meter.
I was able to connect, but when requested a read operation, some times got an
error, other times no error but the objects list wasn't filled.

Also I would like to know why in version 7.0 isn't available in the Media, the
"terminal" option.

I used Gurux version 1.0, The configurations used was :

Manufacturer: Landis,
Start Protocol: DLMS, Media: Terminal
Authentication: None
Wait Time: 5, Client Address: 10
Address type: Default
Physical Server: 1, Logical Server: 0
Phone Number: 915328046
Serial port: COM1, All RS232 configurations were correct.

I would like to know why I can view the object list filled with the parameter
from the smart meter after the Read Command?
Because when working with MAP110(App from the manufacturer) I can view the objects
list, and read the data with no problems.

Thank you very much for any support or hint.

This is the LOG:
