Station Online, Dashboard States Offline

This article describes a station with solid lights, that appears to be online, but in the backend still appears as offline

What's likely happened here is that the 'SETID' function on the station is telling the network an incorrect station ID. Essentially the station turns on, talks to the network, says it's a station named ABCD (just as an example) but in the network, the station is looking for something like DCBA, when you 'add station' to add a station to your market.
​
To correct this, use the SerialPortUtility tutorial (in the Intercom tool). Then connect the station with USB to your computer, power it on, and send the command:
​SETID:
​

Make sure you hit enter to drop the cursor down a line and that the port is opened (there are step by step video instructions in Intercom, just search for SerialPortUtility) and then hit send. That station will respond with SETID:ABCD, if it returns with something blank, strange characters or anything different than the QR code on the physical station you should send the command SETID: and enter the code that's physically on the station.
​
You can confirm that it saves the ID by sending SETID: and leaving it blank and it will return with SETID and the correct ID code. Unplug the USB, restart the station and it should then connect.
