Alarm
messages
The Gateway sends an alarm message to alert you whenever a fault occurs
in the power system. If a fault occurs while the Gateway is reset or has
power removed, the Gateway sends an alarm message when the Gateway
is operating again. The Gateway cannot determine if the fault occurred
before or while it was powered off, so it will always send an alarm
message at startup when there is either an active or logged alarm in the
system.
Under some conditions, the Gateway sends a series of alarm messages
that may be caused by an intermittent fault, or by the Gateway being
repeatedly reset. If the messages become a nuisance and the fault does not
clear itself, disable automatic alarm messages and contact your system
installer or dealer.
Harvest
messages
Energy Harvest email messages contain detailed power production data
and can be sent every day, once a week, or once a month.
The Gateway sends harvest email at the same time each day. In a
multiple-Gateway system, each unit sends harvest email at a different
time. This randomized outgoing email time prevents many Gateways
from sending email at the same time. This could cause a distributed denial
of service (DDOS) if every Gateway sent email to the same address.
Upgrading Device Firmware
To upgrade the firmware for devices in the system, click
Upgrade
Device
. You can then select the device you want to upgrade and browse
for the latest firmware load. Firmware loads are available from from the
Xantrex Web site at
www.xantrex.com/gateway
or your dealer.

Configuring Email
Important:
The Gateway only makes one attempt to send email. If there is a
problem sending the email, the Gateway does not retry at a different time.
