[RE-wrenches] Optics RE

[Howie Michaelson]

Hey FOlks,
While Outback had been my goto offgrid system, over the last many years I
have gravitated to the Conext and Sol-Ark systems.  However, I have many
legacy Outback VFX systems out there and some could really use remote
communication.  Unfortunately, I have stayed far away from Optics RE, as I
haven't been thrilled with the reports of issues the system had. However,
it seems it is the best option for remote oversight, so I am trying to
figure out what is required and what it is capable of.
I've read through the initial documentation and as best I can gather, I
need a Mate 3s and an internet connection - is that all?  I assume having a
FlexnetDC in the system is critical as well.  I'm also wondering if there
is a way to monitor basic production data from a Midnite Classic through
the Optics system. And is the Optics RE system fairly solid since I'm not
thrilled about putting in systems that need too much fussing or attention
to keep operating once they are set up properly. Finally, are there any
other comparable monitoring equipment that would work for monitoring such
systems?
Thanks,
Howie
