    When an encrypted telegram is received, the CMeX50 will check if there is any installed key for this meter. If not, the CMeX50 will try the default key. If the encryption fails, the telegram will be placed in a container and be sent encrypted. It can be decrypted later in the process. This kind of container telegram is normally not readable by a standard M-Bus readout software.

    If the key fits (either the unique meter key or the default key) the telegram will be decrypted and sent unencrypted.

    The encryption key can be obtained from the manufacturer of the wireless M-Bus meter.

  3. Change the encryption key of the meter using Up/Down keys and move the cursor using Right/Left keys.

  4. Press OK to accept the changes, or press ESC to cancel.
