Linux accepped address needed for my charge controllers .
The two charge controllers for my solar system are connected to my router allowing my computer to access them for data gathering. Using the address required in Windows is "tsmppt13190256/" for one of them ( tsmppt plus the serial number ). This address works with all browsers with windows .
Using the same browser on various Linux machines yields "web page not found" Morningstar ,who makes these excellent controllers , says they support only Windows. I've tried using the numbered ( 4 groups of 4 digits ) equal and even the "tiny URL" but nothing works . I've tried adding ".,com " and HTTP:// " How can I how can I get my Linux browsers to accept this address ? Thanks a lot . Ralph |
You should be able to check with your home router to see what ip address those devices are being assigned, then try to use that ip address to access them instead of the tsmpptXXXXXXX designator.

Personally for such devices, I'd assign a static IP address that is bound to the MAC address (in the router), or go onto the device itself and set the address to be static (for things like printers and such). That way, the address remains the same, even if rebooted, and my links always work. |
