This article provides information about Elo IDS 04/54 being unable to Connect to EloView and how to fix.

Issue Overview

Some IDS 04/54 devices may experience connection failures when attempting to connect to EloView. This issue is related to certificate authentication and firmware compatibility.

Affected Products

• Model: IDS 04/54: IDS 3204L/4304L/5054L/5554L/6554L Displays
• Affected Firmware Versions: All versions below P0.77

Symptoms

• IDS04/54 device fails to establish connection with EloView
• Unable to access cloud features or remote management
• Connection errors when attempting to link device to EloView platform

Root Cause

The connection failure occurs due to certificate authentication changes implemented by the Elo cloud team:

• Firmware versions below P0.63: These versions lack X.509 certificate support and rely on a built-in certificate flow that contains an incorrect URL string, preventing successful connection.
• Firmware version P0.63: This version includes X.509 certificate support but may fail if the X.509 certificate has expired (certificates expire one year after the first connection to EloView).

Risk Assessment

Note: The built-in certificate remains valid until 2049.

Solution: Update to Firmware P0.77

Firmware version P0.77 resolves all connection issues by:

1. Adding X.509 certificate validation and replacement flow to ensure certificates remain valid
2. Correcting the URL string error in the built-in certificate flow
3. Download P0.77 Firmware from the Elo Support Site

Update Methods

Method 1: USB Firmware Update (Recommended if unable to connect)

Use this method if your device cannot currently connect to EloView.

1. Download firmware version P0.77
2. Copy the firmware file to a USB flash drive formatted for FAT32 and less than 32GB
3. Follow the USB update procedure outlined below and also found in the User Manual (Page 16)

4. Wait for the update to complete and the device to restart
5. Attempt to connect to EloView

Method 2: OTA Update via ELO View Website

Use this method if your device can still connect to ELO View.

1. Log in to the EloView website
2. Navigate to your IDSX4 device settings
3. Follow the over-the-air (OTA) update instructions below and also found in the IDS IoT Guide (Pages 26-28)
4. Select firmware version P0.77 or higher
5. Initiate the update and wait for completion

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

1. Check your current firmware version
   • Access device settings to identify your current firmware version
2. Determine update method
   • If firmware is below P0.63 or connection fails: Use USB update method
   • If firmware is P0.63 and device connects intermittently: Use OTA update method
3. Perform firmware update
   • Follow the appropriate method above to update to P0.77
4. Verify connection
   • After update, test connection to EloView
   • Confirm all cloud features are accessible
