  2. Auto Detection of Meter Server Address

Auto detection of meter server address

General discussion

Hello, please, I have a meter at my disposal that I want to connect to via the serial port, but I don't know the server address. Is there a way for me to automatically detect the server address of the meter, or is there another way I can connect to the meter without the server address?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi,

That depends on the meter. You need usually to know the meter address or you can try to use the broadcast address 0x7F. If the meter doesn't reply, you can try to use GXDLMSDirector HDLC address resolver to find your meter address.

Thank you very much for your feedback,

using the broadcast method with the broadcast address 0x7F, I get no response from the meter,
I used GXDLMSDirector HDLC address to find the meter address, but I would like to do it from the gurux dlms for python.

Is there a version of GXDLMSDirector HDLC address, which I can use with the gurux dlms library for python, or please can you give me a python code allowing me to implement this functionality of detection of the server address of the meter?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

After you have found the address with HDLC address resolver, you can use the same address with Python.
