| Opening mode of connection with device. If device is configured so that it directly uses DLMS/COSEM protocol on the given interface, set "Direct HDLC". Mostly (e.g. when reading through IR opto interface by optical reading head) you must open the connection by IEC protocol in so-called "mode E" and then transfer to HDLC binary protocol (i.e. DLMS/COSEM). "Mode E", according to specification of IEC protocol, uses the following setting of the transmission parameters:
If "Opening Mode" is set on "IEC mode E", above mentioned transmission parameters must be set. As for Serial communication line, the parameters must be set in the line parameters "Mode 1". See the protocol parameter "Software 7E1". The setting of the baud rate on 300 Baud is not required when using the line of MODEM category. It uses so-called DTE speed, between PC and modem. If this speed is higher than 300 Baud, you have to activate "handshaking" parameter on RTS/CTS in proper line mode. If parameter "Direct HDLC" is set, any dynamic change of transfer parameters is not expected. You can use any Serial line mode and set it by parameter "Line mode" on the station.

| It is a station address (device) and is used only if Opening mode is set on "IEC Mode E". The parameter is optional. It identifies the address of device at the beginning of communication via IEC protocol. If this parameter is not defined, the address will not be set and the device will always respond. If several devices are connected to one line (e.g. RS485 bus), IEC address of device must be set so that the devices could be identified and avoid a collision. A device address is max. 32 characters consisting of figures (0...9), capital letters (A...Z), small letters (a...z) or blank space ( ). Zeros in front of valid figure are ignored (i.e. address 10203 = 010203 = 000010203). "IEC Device Address" is a serial number of device. This register has address "0-0:C.1.0" - Device ID 1, manufacturing number in OBIS addressing. The picture below shows the front panel of EMH LZQJ device. There is serial number, i.e. IEC address (563911). If device contains a display, this value may be displayed as you can see on the picture.

| This parameter is used only if Opening mode is set on "IEC Mode E". It defines baud rate for the communication through HDLC protocol DLMS/COSEM after changeover from IEC mode E to the HDLC binary communication. As for Serial line, this parameter must set the baud rate on "Mode 2". AUTO option sets the baud rate according to the value from a device. If this baud rate can not be identified, you should trace the diagnostic communication logs. You can find there the following message:
and set the baud rate according to it. HDLC binary communication through DLMS/COSEM protocol unlike the opening IEC step is realized by different parameters which have to be set in "Mode 2" of the Serial line category:

| It is used if "Opening mode" is set on "IEC Mode E". YES option switches SW emulation of transfer parameters of 7 data bits, even parity when the transfer parameters of 8 data bits are set, none parity (i.e. emulation 7E1 when 8N1 is set). It enables to use "IEC mode E" option for SerialOverUDP lines that do not support a dynamic changes of transfer parameters. See the chapter Settings of transmission parameters. | YES/NO | NO | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It is used if "Opening mode" is set on "IEC Mode E". Nonzero value activates the sending of so-called "wake-up message" which activates the communication interface of battery-powered device. The null characters (0x00) are sent according to quantity that is characterized by the parameter value. The baud rate must be 300 Baud (select "Mode 1" for Serial lines). More information is mentioned in IEC 62056-21, Electricity metering - Data exchange for meter reading, tariff and load control - Part 21: Direct local data exchange, Annex B: "Wake-up methods for battery-operated tariff devices". | 0 .. 120 | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Message | It is used if "Opening mode" is set on "IEC Mode E". If so-called "wake-up" message is activated, this parameter defines a delay after sending of "wake-up" message even before beginning of communication. As for Serial line, we recommend to set "WaitTxEMPTY" parameter in particular line mode. According to the document IEC 62056-21, you should set this parameter on 1,5 up to 1,7 s. | ms | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A special initial string of modem 2 (only for MODEM lines). Explanation of recommended settings: S37=5 1200bps DTE-DTE speed - limits the speed for modems. Many devices use modems with limited transfer speeds and this setting can speed-up the connection establishment process. Higher transfer speeds must be negotiated individualy. &D2 DTR drop to hangup - for matching with tha parameter of modem line (line configuration, tab "Modem - parameters", check the option "Use DTR for Hangup"). S0=0 Disable auto-answer. Auto-answer will not be used. S30=2 20 sec inactivity timeout - automatic hangup after idle timeout expired. Necessary for assuring connection termination after the communication with the last device is over.
