Follow me Question

[jhubacka]

I am planning on loading firmware rev 1181 this weekend. In preparation I installed the network cables between the two controllers. When I powered up the cc150 ( solar control ) it appeared lost config data. The second cc200 ( wind control ) came up ok.  It sensed 12v battery instead of 48v. Powered down and did VMM but got a fault light when trying to save data. Disconnected network cables and was able to re-config and save data . Question is do I need to have rev 1181 installed prior to installing network cables, even if follow me feature is not enabled ?

Current running firmware is MNGP  1056 6/29/2012
                                            Classic 1043 6/29/2012

Thanks.  Jerry

The version of code should have no bearing on it. It seems more likely the cables are not correct? It almost sounds like they may be reversing the Power or TX/RX and shorting the communications channel?

Did you follow the documentation on the cables found on the firmware tab?

I purchased 2 standard 4 conductor phone lines. They sure looked like they were straight thur cables. I ll pull out and take another look.
