If you are using EnnexOS you can clear remotely. Select the device with the issue, then config, then parameter. Filter by 'AFCI'. Turn off. Wait a few minutes, turn back on. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you're certain its a false arc-fault. Matt On 2019-09-15 20:54, Jeff

I am fairly certain you cannot reset through the portal, unfortunately. I have done the "rapid whack method" many times. Feels kind of strange, but works well. The message must be displayed for that to work though. So if you already reset the inverter, you have to wait for the error to show up

I've only had the "tapping" method work on SB-22 inverters, not on -40 inverters.  You gotta log on to the machine which I think you can only do onsite.  Has anyone ever done a reset of the 8206 from the portal? Bill Feather River Solar Electric Bill Battagin, Owner 4291 Nelson St.
