<div dir="ltr">William, Michael; I have never seen spontaneous reprogramming of the AGS, but it sure does give me something to watch out for on the Optics systems I've installed, thanks for that!<div><br></div><div>What I did see (last month) was an Optics system (no AGS) shut down the web gateway, saying the firmware in the charge controllers (old MX60s) and the Flexnet DC need to be updated, but all are too old, the firmware can't be updated as far as I know. It also lost the Port #s for the 2 MX60s and FlexNet DC and needs them re-entered. </div><div><br></div><div>Oddly, the battery SOC is the only data showing in the Optics Portal, but it's saying 67% SOC, which (I hope!) is incorrect, as the site has had full sun, hardly a cloud in the sky, for over 3 days now, and the system is designed to charge from 50% SOC to full on one sunny day.</div><div><br></div><div>The Mate 3S firmware isn't flagged for an update, but there is a newer version out. I plan to update the Mate 3S, re-enter the Port assignments and hope that fixes the problem. Because the system is 200 miles away and I have no way now of knowing if it's even charging right now.</div><div><br></div><div>Will be watching this thread closely!.</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div
