Q11: How long should an automatic update take?
The size of the download typically is around 90MB. After download it will install the files which can
take up to 5 minutes.
Q12: I have a VGR with IO Extender, how can I replace this with a Color
Control GX?
It is not yet possible to replace the IO Extender functionality.
Q13: Can I use Remote VEConfigure, as I was doing with the VGR2?
Yes, see VE Power Setup manual
Q14: The Blue Power Panel could be powered through the VE.Net network,
can I also do that with a Color Control GX?
No, a Color Control GX always needs to be powered itself.
Q15: What type of networking is used by the Color Control GX (TCP and UDP
ports)?
Basics:
The Color Control GX needs to get a valid IP address from a DHCP server, including a working
DNS server and gateway, or a static IP configuration.
DNS port 53 UDP and TCP
NTP (time sync) UDP port 123
VRM Portal:
Data to the VRM Portal is sent via HTTP POST and GET requests to
https://ccgxlogging.victronenergy.com
plain HTTP on port 80. Note that, even when configured to use plain HTTP, some outgoing
requests will always use HTTPS on port 443.
Firmware updates:
The CCGX connects to
Remote support (default disabled):
When enabled, an outbound SSH connection to supporthosts.victronenergy.com is maintained.
The CCGX will try to connect on port 22, 80 and 443, and the first that works is maintained.
Enabling Remote Support also enables the sshd daemon, listening for incoming SSH requests on
port 22. See below FAQ entry for more information about the Remote Support functionality.
