Parallel Association Policies
The following policies are provided by the meter about establishing parallel association.
•
On the local communication port (IEC 62056-21) only one association can be
opened at a time.
•
On remote communication port (IP) several associations can be opened parallel
•
At different communication ports, several associations (with the same client or with
different clients) can be opened at the same time.
•
If a client wants to use several communication ports at the same time an
association at each communication port will be opened separately.
Note:
If a client wants to use several communication ports at the same time it must open
an association at each communication port separately.
