12. Specifically, the bottom panel shows the bytes corresponding to the settings previously applied in the “Serial Tx Format” panel of the configuration window: Length (0F), C-Field (44), M-Field (AE 0C, corresponding to the M-Field values contained in the settings of the first module), A-Field (78 56 34 12 01 07, corresponding to the A-Field values contained in the settings of the first module) and CI-Field (78), plus the Data-Field byte sequence (0B 13 43 65 87).

ENCRYPTION EXAMPLE 1. To illustrate encryption, an example frame containing a 13757-3 Application Layer with short Transport Layer will be used (CI-field value is 0x7A). In this example, meter address is: a. M-Field: AE 0C b. A-Field: 78 56 34 12 01 07 Its encryption key is: 00 0B 16 21 2C 37 42 4D 58 63 6E 79 84 8F 94 A5 A meter device must insert its own manufacturer ID, address and key in an entry of...
