3.4 Verify Internet Connectivity
1.
Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected between
Eth0
and your network.
2.
The Aurora Logger acts as a router. From your laptop connected to
Eth1
, verify your
internet connectivity by opening up an Internet browser window and connecting to an
Internet address, such as www.yahoo.com.
3.
Remaining steps for commissioning are performed via the Internet to check end-to end
communications. Proceed with one of the following steps:
a.
If you are not responsible for these remaining steps, be sure to pass on the MAC
address (Logger ID) information to the responsible party. Remove the cable from
Eth1
. Installation is complete.
b.
If asset registration is already complete, proceed to the section on End-to-End Data
Check.
c.
If asset registration is not complete, proceed to the next section on Asset
Registration.
3.5 Asset Registration
Asset registration is performed via the Aurora ADMIN Web tool. Asset registration assigns the
MAC address of your logger to a specific plant in Aurora Vision. Asset Registration can be
performed before or after the on-site installation is complete. When you register the Aurora
Logger, all the assets (inverters) reporting data to the Aurora Logger are also registered. The
plant must be created as an asset using Aurora ADMIN before the Aurora Logger can be
assigned and registered.
From the Setup Tool, follow the link to the Asset Registration page of Aurora ADMIN. If you are
not running the Setup Tool, go to
https://admin.auroravision.net/customeradmin
. Select
Services > Asset Registration and type in the MAC address of the Aurora Logger. The Asset
Registration page allows you to select the plant that the data will be associated with.
Note that
use of the Aurora ADMIN tool requires a User ID and password with Administrator privileges.
Select the Services > Asset Registration page in Aurora ADMIN to register the logger. Go to
https://partner.auroravision.net/display/en/Asset+Registration
for help in using the Aurora ADMIN tool for asset registration.
3.6 End-to-End Data Check
The last check is to make sure that data is actually being reported and is visible in the Aurora
Vision portal. Wait 15 minutes and log on to
an Internet connected device. Within Aurora Vision, go to Asset > Summary page for the plant
and open the Device Status panel. Verify that the energy readings agree with the inverter and
that all of the monitored devices are communicating, as indicated by the Last Reported time.
