Diagnosis and Repair:
1. The generator set is not connected to the Internet.
a. Verify the Internet connection status on the generator set local or remote
display. This information is displayed on the Cloud Info screen in the
MENU About.
If the control is failing to connect to the Internet after multiple tries,
power-cycle the control.
b. Check the generator set control board for the IP address and data transfer
“heartbeat”.
i. Use the generator set’s local display or remote display to navigate
through the menus until you find the IP address. Make sure that there
is a valid IP address shown.
ii. Check the generator set control board for illuminated green and
orange lights (also known as the “heartbeat”) near the Ethernet port. If
the board is properly communicating with the network, the lights should
flicker on and off irregularly.
c. Battery voltage is low.
Refer to the Starting Battery Runs Down or Low Battery Warning Is
Active section.
d. The customer’s modem or router has no Internet connectivity.

for the proper procedure.
ii. Access a web page using a computer connected via Ethernet cable to
the same modem or router that the generator set is connected to.
iii. Contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) for additional
troubleshooting.
e. Check the Ethernet cable to the generator set.
i. Verify that the Ethernet cable type is Cat 5, Cat 5e, or Cat 6.
ii. Verify that the Ethernet cable is fully seated in the generator set
control.
iii. Verify that the cable is fully seated in the router or modem.
iv. Check the cable for breaks or damage; replace if necessary.
v. If a laptop is available for testing, unplug the Ethernet cable at the
generator set and connect the laptop. Verify that the laptop has
Internet access over the local network.
