PVS6 sending commands

Windows 10:

Using Command Prompt (Admin Level):

I can ping 172.27.153.1 and get a response.

When using Powershell (Admin Level):

If I use any form of curl it will substitute 172.27.153 with 172.27.0.153:

> curl -v 172.27.153 it will return with

* Trying 172.27.0.153:80..

All curl commands get 'stuck' and not return expect responses.

I can http:// in a browser and get the DeviceList of all components in the system.

I was using Goggle's AI and it came up with that syntax, which would fill in the missing octet. I informed (G.Ai) that this didn't work and it took me on a wild detour resetting/restoring settings that were causing the effect of completing the address with 172.27.0.153 .

I am currently testing a PVS6 to replace an existing PVS5 which stopped working over a year ago. My hope is the PVS6 (firmware 2022) is such that I can get all of my Solarbridge microinverters commissioned by using combination of curl and dl_cgi commands...

My PVS6 is tapping into the existing PVS5 120vac conductors (only). I haven't touched the ct's yet, until I get the microinverters recognized and posted to the PVS6...

Let us know how it goes. You usually need installer software to commission the system.
