I am concerned that the gateway logs _select params_ do not reflect the parameters I use to call the function:

My script calls gateway message handler: (Stored in Scripting \> Project Library

I have my RTU set to only accept _ **orIdent** _ of "000101", so i know that this is what is being passed.  
(Checked both cases with IEDScout).

I think there is either a bug in, or some misunderstanding of, the underlying 61850 library from TMW. Curious to see if this is fixed in 8.3 where we've upgraded it.
