anyone know the proper way to stage a Neptune fallback scenario. Want to test my outlets and modules are all configured and working properly in this event

Only thing that comes to mind is unplugging the two usb in on the main unit. However I bit weary to to this as i had to kill power to my tank the other day and the apex decided to create duplicate modules and had to recode about half of it. Not trying to go down that rabbit hole again.

Other thing I thought was disconnecting either net to WiFi but that I think just losing connection to fusion. Not sure if it creates a fallback situation.
 
You could copy and paste to a text file using the online fusion website. That's what I did for my disaster recovery.

This will just show what outlets have the fall back. That will help from a manual qc perspective Im actually trying to get all the Ebbs and my MXM to trip into those states for few hours so I can test a worse case scenario of a dying brain and ensure I have the right redundancies needed in place.

@Reefer Matt setting off to auto won’t keep them in the fall back state for the amount of Time I’m looking for.


Sounds like disconnecting the ebs from the brain is the only option… ugh. will take a backup first. Last thing I need is ghost modules being created again.
