Legacy security support

Legacy security support is an interim solution for users that use Standard security mode and is the default setting for new meters. It provides backwards compatibility with older software communicating with the meter using ION protocol.

If Standard security was used before upgrading meter firmware to v3.0.0, Legacy security support is enabled.

If Advanced security was used before upgrading meter firmware to v3.0.0, Advanced security is enabled.

RECOMMENDATION: Use Advanced security mode.
