To enable the DHCP server on the Service port (like any new system or after a Wipe Install), the steps to follow are:
- Access web page of the system
- Select Settings->Administration settings
- Click on Enable DHCP server check box and Apply button
1.1.4.4 Hydrogen sensor firmware update
Important Note:
- Your CoreSense M10 does not require a Hydrogen sensor firmware update if the version number is 3.966J. To verify, click on About CoreSense™ M10 and look for “Hydrogen Sensor Firmware”.

1.2 Version 1.3.1.9 [0048-00-3-00005-01 RevB]
1.2.1 Release summary
- New Features:
- Transformer fluid selection is limited to the specific product configuration represented by the product number (COREMX-1838)
- Product configuration for the transformer fluid is stored on the head unit. As the head units are specifically configured according to the ordered fluid, CoreSense M10 verifies that head unit model matches the selected transformer fluid. On failure, Head model check fail ERROR will occur and the system status will change to FATAL (COREMX-1986, COREMX-2258)
- Iso-butane is added to the gas measurement algorithm as a potential contaminant. This ensures that gas measurement is performed when iso-butane is found inside the transformer fluid (COREMX-2244)
- Default Warning and Error thresholds are tailored for each transformer fluid types (COREMX-2087)
- Minimum threshold parameter is added to the advanced settings for each Sensor. When activated (value set > 0) any value lower than threshold value is set to 0. This corrected data is shown on dashboard, history data and published protocols. The raw data is still available in the csv file export (COREMX-2548)
- Improvements:
- The Gas LED on the instrument Head Unit will now follow ALL gas validation for Warning and Alarms (COREMX-1968)
- More configuration files have been added to the Getlog file package and the backup during Wipe Install using the USB key package. This gives more information to investigate anomalies in the instrument operation. More specifically the heath monitoring history data and files for gas measurement algorithm configuration are among new files to be available for service technicians (COREMX-1972, COREMX-1973, COREMX-2001, COREMX-2364)
- Main web page interface esthetic enhancements. New top banner with software version display (COREMX-2213)
- About box contact information changed to display Hitachi Powergrids with phone number, hyperlink and email for service support (COREMX-2401)
- Head Unit SN on the About box is based on the actual serial number published on the head unit register. The old property file is used if no serial number is stored on the head unit (older instrument) (COREMX-286, COREMX-2214, COREMX-2067)
- Fixed Issues:
- During a Wipe Install the process will no longer stop for missing Golden spectrum files. It will use default Golden files and resume the installation process (COREMX-2088)
- Hydrogen measurement data is used only when status of the sensor is “Normal operation” (COREMX-2218)
- Default Golden spectrum files changed for more representative spectrum curves. This corrects the situation where the intensity of the default Golden files was too high and triggered a source failure leaving the instrument unusable (COREMX-2215)
- Apply a fix for a missing file that prevent the instrument to start during first boot sequence when the hard drive is changed in the field (COREMX-2066)
- Fix wrong error message text. The serial numbers were inverted on the Error Message for Golden verification when golden. This situation happened when serial number of the Golden spectrum did not match the instrument serial number (COREMX-877)
- From the maintenance page, it is now possible to set the current pump selection to “NONE” without triggering a leak error (COREMX-1948)
- Add H2O AW value in the Modbus TCP publishing. Data is available at startup (COREMX-2151, COREMX-2492)
- Fix HMI bug with Golden checkbox (COREMX-1745)
- Fix missing event log file inside the Getlog file package (COREMX-1766)
- Fix Maintenance page FTIR tool unable to start (COREMX-1971)
- Fix bug that causes Warning message from Sensor Proxy: Communication error [sb][[61]]: 00000011 (COREMX-2229)
- Fix a situation where unwanted AT command characters were sent over RS485 port on startup (COREMX-2138)
- Added tube 2 pressure in Maintenance – Pump page (COREMX-2097)
1.3 Version 1.3.0.6
1.3.1 Release summary

1.4.1 Release summary
- New Features:
- A DHCP server is now running on the Service Port. The system will provide an IP address to the client computer that can reach the CoreSense M10 interface on 172.16.100.1 (COREMX-1149)
- Moisture can now be display as AW (COREMX-1059)
- Improvements:
- Additional compounds are added to improve standard gas readings engine (COREMX-1085,1054)
- System warns the operator for data lost when the time is changed in the past (COREMX-1063)
- Local HMI time displays “UTC” label (COREMX-1088)
- Exported csv file has the column label with “UTC” (COREMX-1191)
- LEDs on the Head Unit are decoupled and can show states that are independent (COREMX-1066)
