AttributeError: 'GXDLMSClient' has no attribute 'ciphering'

HI Mikko,

I am attempting to access 16 associations in my meter using the GXDLMS library. During the setup process, I encountered an error when trying to set the ciphering security to Security.NONE. The error message states:

AttributeError: 'GXDLMSClient' object has no attribute 'ciphering'.

Setup Details:

Serial Port: COM3, configured with 9600 baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Client Address: 16
Server Address: 1
Authentication: NONE
Interface Type: HDLC

and I code I wrote is:

d =GXDLMSClock(ln=id)
clock=reader.read(d, 2)
timezone = reader.read(d,3)

Could you confirm if the GXDLMSClient class supports the ciphering attribute? If so, is there an alternative way to configure the ciphering security? Additionally, if any updates or corrections are required, please guide me on the next steps to resolve this issue.
