Re: GEM & DB Combo Ordered + Big Thank You
Absolutely, play with the system and plan it all out before installing it in its final resting place. Updating the GEM is the most important thing so any bugs are resolved.

Re: GEM & DB Combo Ordered + Big Thank You
Yep that's what I did yesterday when it arrivedbgrubb1 wrote:Just a suggestion -
Before I attached my Gem / DB to the wall near my power panel, I set it up on a bench by my PC and updated / configured / figured it out. I even spilt the power cord on a space heater and put a CT on it. This made the actual "Install" go much smoother / less down time.
..Barry
Only thing I have not done as yet it actually connect a CT to it and test it.
I'm actually making labels for the CT's cables right now using my Rhino 6000, for which CT goes to which breaker

Re: GEM & DB Combo Ordered + Big Thank You
Yep already checked out what firmware is available for the GEM, and surprisingly my GEM came with COM Firmware v2.57 and ENG Firmware 1.47 already installed, I didn't even see v2.57 listed on the www.brultech.com/software pageTeken wrote:Absolutely, play with the system and plan it all out before installing it in its final resting place.

I noticed the DB Updates page only lists Beta firmware v4.1.5E, where are the downloads for the stable releases?

Re: GEM & DB Combo Ordered + Big Thank You
4.1.5B was a really stable release
4.1.5E has been running on my DB since 3/7/2014 and has ran fine except my wireless has dropped requiring a DB power down 3 times. On each of the drops the DB kept accumulating data, but could not be pinged. I believe Teken has yet to get his wireless working with 4.1.5E. If you are planning on using the wireless on your DB, my suggestion would be stick to 4.1.5B for a bit. Also a note on your GEM. I see you ordered the wired / wireless model - same as me. Beware that there is an issue where the wired and wireless cant co-exist on the same subnet unless the wired is plugged in.

If I went to 4.1.5E and wanted to downgrade I would still need the link to the 4.1.5B firmware download

Re: GEM & DB Combo Ordered + Big Thank You
4.1.5B has many of the improvements and add on's already. I would suggest you wait till the next stable release sometime this week.OzTechGeek wrote:4.1.5BTeken wrote:

Re: GEM & DB Combo Ordered + Big Thank You
Same wireless as you - Only officially supported Model. Also I mis-spoke, the subnet issue is on the DB, not the Gem

Re: GEM & DB Combo Ordered + Big Thank You
All of us are using the TP-Link TL-WN721N. You can find it on EBAY for very cheap. On page 3 of the install thread about 1/3 from the bottom has a write up about the installing of the device: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=929&start=20OzTechGeek wrote:Which wireless adapter are you using?bgrubb1 wrote:4.1.5B was a really stable release
