Symptoms
The gridBox appears to be malfunctioning or displays an error message.
Data cannot be retrieved from the SMGW.
The connection to the SMGW is not established.
Cause
These symptoms suggest a connection problem between the gridBox and the SMGW. The cause can vary, including wiring issues, SMGW errors, or incorrect configurations.
Solution
Check basic connections: Ensure all cables between the gridBox and SMGW are properly and firmly connected.
Restart the SMGW: A simple SMGW restart can sometimes resolve connection problems. Power off the SMGW, wait a few seconds, and then power it back on.
