Vertical power support

Looks like the website is "Access Forbidden" as of today.

It isn't clear to me how much re configuration one can do without the online "configurator".

This box is basically a MOSFET multichannel switch with configurable current limits. Anyone interested in an alternative?

A 3 thousand dollar write off. Dang. Funny how the website dependence was designed in to force instantaneous product obsolescence.

I didn't realize Vertical Power had an online configurator. I configure my VPX locally with no internet connection. I realize their website is down as I write this. My guess is they either pushed out a bad website update or they have an expired certificate. Who knows? Not needed to update the VPX so no biggie.

Hmm... I only used the online "configurator" online load planning tool as a planning tool. I used the Windows PC based Configurator app on my laptop and connected to the VP-X directly via Ethernet to do the actual configuration. I thought that was how it was supposed to be done.

If someone is DITW because they don't have the Windows PC based app, I think I might be able to send you a copy.

That's how I do it.

FYI the direct link works, they must have something going on with the main website. http://planner.verticalpower.com/user/login

The online planner is not required to configure the VP-X; it is meant to help you plan. You can do that manually, too, with a piece of paper and a pen if you prefer.

Sounds like a temporary website issue with a workaround identified by the fine folks here on VAF.

Onward!

Yeah, using the website is great for initial planning but hardly required. Do you have the client software downloaded?
