kits for the RDC/DC controller. See instruction sheet

TT--1566, included with the kits, for Ethernet option

board installation and connection instructions.

When the Ethernet board is installed, update the

RDC/DC controller firmware and follow the instructions

in Section 1.8.3 or TT-1566 to record the controller

password and generator set serial number for entry into

the OnCue Plus application.

In most cases, once the new firmware is uploaded to the

controller and the Ethernet board is connected to the

customer’s router or modem, the controller will

automatically connect to the Kohler OnCue Plus server.

Controller settings and network router adjustments are

usually not required. The Internet connection between

the controller and the Kohler OnCue Plus server is fully

encrypted for your protection.

TP--6928 4/15 31Section 2 OnCue Plus Operation

2.13.3 PIM

OnCuer Plus allows remote control of items in your

home. Controlling items remotely requires an installed

and properly connected Programmable Interface

Module (PIM). The programmable interface module

(PIM) is available for purchase as an optional kit.

Electrical items such as appliances, outdoor lighting,

storm shutters, etc. can be connected to outputs on the

PIM and then turned on and off using OnCue Plus

through your personal computer, smart phone,or tablet

with Internet access.

The PIM provides two programmable inputs and six

programmable outputs for connection to

customer-supplied equipment. The PIM operates only

with generator sets equipped with the Kohler RDC2,

DC2, or VSC controller. See TT-1584 for PIM

installation and setup instructions.

Note: PIM outputs 1 and 2 are factory-set to Generator

Running and Common Fault. Outputs 1 and 2

cannot be controlled remotely through OnCuer

Plus.

Use the Controls screen to remotely control items in

your home connected to outputs 3 through 6.

1. Select the Controls screen in the OnCue Plus

Toolbar.

2. Click on the tab labeled PIM.

3. Click on the name of the output to turn it on or off.

The status indicator (ON/OFF) flashes for

approximately 5 seconds before changing to the

new status.

Once OnCue Plus is used to turn a PIM output on or off,

the output will no longer be controlled by the generator

set. For example, output 4 may initially be set to the

Engine Oil Low Pressure Warning. If OnCue Plus is

used to turn that output on or off, the output will no longer

turn on when the generator’s low oil pressure warning is

activated. The output must be operated through OnCue

Plus.

Use OnCue Plus to rename the output functions to

identify the equipment connected to each output. See

Section 2.17, Settings, for label renaming instructions.

2.17.2 Text Message Co nfiguration

Text messages can be sent by sending an email to your

cell phone.

SMS text messaging to a cellular telephone or other

device is accomplished by sending an email to the

cellular provider’s email-to-SMS system. For example,

if the customer is a subscriber of Verizon Wireless with

the cellular telephone number 920-555-1212, a text

message can be sent to their cell phone by sending an

email to [email protected]. Contact your cell

service provider for the email address to use for SMS

text messaging.

Determine the customer’s cellular telephone service

provider and verify that their cell phone is equipped to

receive SMS messages. Consult the cell phone

provider or the provider’s website for the email address

configurations for text messaging. Make sure that the

customer is aware of any text messaging charges the

cellular telephone provider may charge for received text

messages.

TP--6928 4/15 45Section 3 Troubleshooting

Section 3 Troubleshooting

3.1 Introduction

This section provides instructions for troubleshooting

issues related to connection of the generator to the

homeowner’s network. Many of these issues and

connection problems are caused by incorrect controller

or router setup. This section p rovides instructions to

troubleshoot problems with the generator connection to

the OnCuer Plus server.

Because of the large variety of routers that are available

in the field, this document cannot address router setup

issues. Please refer to the documentation provided for

the router and contact the customer’s Internet Service

Provider (ISP), if necessary.

IfyouareusingtheOnCuer Plus Wireless kit, please

also refer to TT- 1618 (provided with the wireless kit) for

setup, test, and troubleshooting instructions.

Refer to the generator set service manual when

troubleshooting the generator set and connected

equipment.

3.2 Generator Set Serial Number

Incorrect serial numbers will prevent connection to the

OnCuer Plus server. Compare the genset serial

number programmed into the controller with the serial

number on the generator set nameplate. See

Section 1.8 for instructions to find the serial number in

the controller. If the S/Ns do not match, Kohlerr

SiteTecht software is required to change the genset

serial number programmed in the controller to match the

nameplate. SiteTech software is only available to

Kohler-authorized distributors and dealers. Contact a

Kohler-authorized distributor/dealer for service.

3.3 Verify Power to the Controller

Verify that there is power to the generator set’s

controller. Check that the controller d isplay is on or at

least one LED on the controller is lit.

3.4 Check Controller’s Ethernet

Connection

RDC2/DC2 or VSC Controller. Check the Ethernet

cable and RJ45 inline connector to the controller.

RDC/DC Controller. Make sure that the Ethernet board

is installed correctly with the board-to-board connector

in place. See TT-1566, Installation Instructions.

Check the firewall on the local router. Verify that router

firewall port 5253 is configured to permit an outbound

connection. Refer to the instructions provided with the

router.

3.5 Power Cycling the Controller

The four digit password is only communicated to the

OnCuer Plus Server when the controller powers up.

Power cycle the controller, leaving the Ethernet cable

plugged in. Power cycling can be done in one of two

ways:

1. Disconnect all input power for two minutes (to allow

capacitors to discharge):

a. Battery power: remove the battery negative (--)

cable or disconnect P1 from the back of the

controller.

b. Battery charger input power: disconnect the

120 VAC input power supply or disconnect P5

from the back o f the controller.

c. Unplug the USB mini-B connector from the

front of the controller (if plugged in).

d. Wait two minutes, then reconnect power,

hooking up battery power (P1) first.

OR:

2. Re-install the controller firmware. This will force a

controller reboot.

3.7 Network Configuration and

Status

When instructed in the procedure, use your laptop and

Kohlerr SiteTecht software to check the Network

Configuration and Network Status settings shown in

Figure 3-1 through Figure 3-4.

Dynamic Host Connection Protocol (DHCP): Most

network setups use DHCP, which allows the server to

assign an IP address automatically. Some sites require

a static IP address that must be requested from the

Internet Service Provider (ISP). The customer will know

if the controller requires a static IP address. (If the

customer doesn’t know, he most likely does not requirea

static IP address.)

If a static IP address is used, obtain the IP address,

subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server from the

customer and enter the data into the appropriate fields

under Network Configuration. Click Apply Changes
