I don't know exactly which step helped me upgrade the firmware, but I was connecting to the GEM through my router. I didn't think it would firewall anything from one internal port to another, wireless or wired, but I plugged in a dumb switch, and connected the GEM, my laptop, and an uplink to the router and connected to it that way. The other thing I read somewhere was to set the baud rate to 19200, so I set it to that. One of those changes seemed to work as I was able to upload both firmware files fine.
So, now that I'm up to date I set the com values back, set the baud rate back, verified that packet format was set to new SEG, but still can't discover the device. It reports that it does find the site, but no device.
Any more suggestions?
Hello Proebed,
Back in the day before a lot of this stuff was automated you had to ensure that the stream name was correctly populated in the SEG site. What you should see is 32 channels for the GEM, 8 temp, and 4 pulse, and voltage in the SEG site.
When you select any of the *Streams* there is an *edit* tab. Once you click on that edit tab scroll all the way down and you should see a box called *Technical:*
There is a box called stream name: This name is the actual data being sent from the GEM and its labeled / specifically spelled out name is what is being pushed / connected to the SEG.
Energy (KWH) is called e_1 <-- This naming convention goes for all channels such as: e_2, e_3 etc
Power (Watts) is called p_1, p_2, etc
