Question

I've RBR850 with RBS850 Satellite. Trying to add an additional RBS850 satellite but it wouldn't sync. I see blue light, the RBS Satellite connects and then goes offline. Please advise.

Make sure FW on the incoming RBS is same as what is loaded on the current system.

Thanks. I was suspecting that FW is the issue however didn't know how to upload that. Finally I was able to update the firmware on the additional RBS850 and now everything seems to be working.
Once again thank you very much. Appreciated!

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
