Dan & Howie,
As Dan said, there was quite a long period getting out the kinks out of
Optics but now I'm not having any problems. I'm monitoring 19 systems for
my customers and most problems recently have been getting a good internet
connection. I finally got one on Huges Net working and all
Howie:
I find the OtpicsRE system to be very helpful. If there is any chance to
hook up a system, I do it. Here are some features I like, in no particular
order:
·The dashboard is well thought out.
·You can view Event logs and download them as CSV files.
·I remote
Mac; Interesting to hear that you've had success via satellite internet.
Which flavor was it, Hughes, Excede or both? It was 3-4 years ago that I
tried and failed with it at 2 different sites (one was my own
residence).there have been a few firmware updates since then, so I
might just give it
Hi Howie and Wrenches,
We have quite a few OpticsRE sites functioning fine on satellite
internet so I don't think that there is any defined limitation there. I
like to use a Hub 10.3 with systems that you intend to have on Optics.
Optics not perfect but its better than other off-grid monitoring
Thanks guys. I really appreciate the info. That does a lot to clear up my
misgivings with attempting this!
My only hesitancy at this point is switching to the Mate3. When it first
came out, I put it into an off grid upgrade, but ended up hating it - I
found it more complicated and less intuitive
Howie; I'm pretty satisfied with the current condition of the OpticsRE
world. Most of the past problems have been ironed out, and I've had good
email tech support from Outback (!).
You'll need a Mate 3S, an Outback Hub, and a Flexnet DC with shunts for
each channel you want to measure. If all
Wrenches
You will need the mate celular or some hard line comm. Make sure you have
all current firmware in all the devices.
Once you set up the mate at the home screen push the port button and get
the Mac address, next set up your site on opticsRE and your done, keep all
on one log in site and
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,
