5.2 Common problems
Problem: The modem will not connect to the GSM network
Possible causes:
- PIN security is still enabled on the SIM. Check this by putting the SIM in a normal phone and turn it on. When turning the
phone on, it should not ask for a pin code, not even 0000. Solution: turn the security off.
- No network reception, try moving the modem around or use a different antenna. Try powering the modem at a location where
you have full reception on a normal GSM phone. You can test this without the Multi or BMV-602 connected.
- The SIM slot on modem is not correctly closed: make sure that you close the black slide over the SIM.
Problem: I get an SMS saying "Warning MK2 version [version number] not supported".
Cause: The minimum supported MK2 version is 1130125. Please use the MK2 that was supplied with the Ethernet Remote.
You can also connect the MK2 to a computer running the latest version of VEConfigure, which will then update it automatically.
Problem: I get an SMS saying "Warning target version [version number] not supported".
Cause: The minimum supported version of the VE.Bus device is 19xx111.
Problem: The VE.Bus device (Multi/Inverter/Quattro) switches off when I connect it to the MK2.
Cause: The MK2 needs to have the two jumpers removed. Please note: these jumpers are already removed on the MK2
supplied with the Victron Ethernet Remote.
