Verifying the Wi-Fi or Cellular Connectivity 

You can test the connection to the Panoramic Power server or the Internet as described in this section. 

How to Proceed 

1.

 

Access the bridge web interface. 

2.

 

Select 

Diagnostics

. 

 

3.

 

Click 

Verify server connection

 to make sure the bridge communicates with the Panoramic Power server.  

If there is no connection, check the bridge configuration parameters and network settings. The 
connection to the Panoramic Power server uses port 8051 or 443 (SSL version). 

Note 

This method will not work if you configured the bridge to work in LAN, and your PC is connected to the 
bridge. 

4.

 

Click 

Ping to google.com

 to make sure the Internet connection is working.  

If there is no connection, check the bridge configuration parameters and network settings. 

Upgrading the Firmware Version 

This section explains how to upgrade the bridge to the latest firmware version. 

Prerequisites 

Make sure you have the following items: 

•

 

USB flash drive with the upgraded firmware, or a FAT-32 formatted USB flash drive if you 
need to download the firmware from your email account. 

How to Proceed 

1.

 

Download the firmware to the root directory of the USB flash drive, if necessary. 

2.

 

Make sure the firmware file is the only .bin file in the root directory of the USB flash drive.
