[RE-wrenches] Schneider SCP / MPPT 80 600 / XW+ / Gateway questions

[Jay]

Hi greg

There was just a thread that discussed you can’t use the scp to program the pro. Have to use insight. 
If I understand correctly. 

Hopefully others more knowledgeable will chime in about your other issues too. 

Good luck

Jay

They were all still default so I had to go through it again one at a time through insightlocal.  I'm guessing the SCP no longer works for programming with the Gateway?  Can anyone confirm?  Programming used to work through the SCP with the old XW+ inverters and firmware.

Used to be able to use  the "copy from" function which was a real time saver.  Wondering if anyone else has run into the same problem, or if it works for them, what am I missing?  Is there a cool way to change one setting with insightlocal and get it to change the other 17?
