Dan,
I've occasionally had a similar issue with a partial
display failure of some of the info normally found on the home page on a
Mate3. So far I've been able to "solve" this problem by doing a
complete system (this one was 4, OBVFXR's) shutdown and re-fire-up in
the proper sequence.

William, Michael; I have never seen spontaneous reprogramming of the
AGS, but it sure does give me something to watch out for on the Optics
systems I've installed, thanks for that!
What I did see (last month) was an Optics system (no AGS) shut down
the web gateway, saying the firmware in the charge controllers (old
MX60s) and the Flexnet DC need to be updated, but all are too old, the
firmware can't be updated as far as I know. It also lost the Port #s
for the 2 MX60s and FlexNet DC and needs them re-entered.
Oddly, the battery SOC is the only data showing in the Optics Portal,
but it's saying 67% SOC, which (I hope!) is incorrect, as the site has
had full sun, hardly a cloud in the sky, for over 3 days now, and the
system is designed to charge from 50% SOC to full on one sunny day.
The Mate 3S firmware isn't flagged for an update, but there is a newer
version out. I plan to update the Mate 3S, re-enter the Port
assignments and hope that fixes the problem. Because the system is 200
miles away and I have no way now of knowing if it's even charging
right now.
Will be watching this thread closely!.

Colleagues:
Over time we have seen our Outback Optics systems reprogramming
themselves. The latest manifestation is seeing the AGS change
from Auto to Off. I would suggest if you have Optics systems you
might log in and check this. Damage can be done to batteries and
your credibility if a generator auto-start is expected and does
not occur.
I would be interested in hearing if any of you have experienced
any “ghost” reprogramming of any Outback systems.
Thanks,
William Miller
