OK, what am I missing?

Post by tfalk » Tue Dec 15, 2015 12:18 pm

New user, been working with computers for 30+ years so I'm somewhat familiar with things,
also have my own websites hosted for 15+ years so I'm not exactly an ID10T....

Installed wifi/ethernet GEM and just the 2 donuts over the mains to start with. Accessed the GEM via wifi using port 1.2.3.4 and followed instructions to the letter, changed the IP to 192.168.2.90. I can now access it via brower at http://192.168.2.90:8000 and enter setup, live data tab shows me the GEM is seeing the CT's and the numbers keep increasing. OK, good start...

Set server to a dedicated IP (192.168.2.25), Installed xampplite, extracted stand-alone dashboard to the htdocs folder per instructions, started the apache service, everything looks good. I can access the Dashboard using http://192.168.2.25:80 via browser. I configured the dashboard to the correct serial number for the GEM. I used the GEM Setup and told it to post to 192.168.2.25.

When I access the dashboard via 192.168.2.25, I added the GEM serial number as well. After that, I pretty much see nothing happening in the dashboard. When I click on manage the GEM, all the channel info is blank. When I click on the raw data, I get a blank page. Looks to me like something is getting lost between the GEM and the dashboard?

Any suggestions?

On the GEM side,

- Packet Send: Set the Primary Packet Format to HTTP Get.
- Data Host: Click the Standalone Dashboard button and enter the IP under Host IP.
- Network: Enter 192.168.2.25 as Destination, and 80 as Port.
- Exit Setup Mode and it should connect up, the channels will fill in after the first packet.
- Watch the Raw Data log to see if packets come in under Settings->System.
