It seems I had a fixed IP address with the earlier router, but it would surely be nice if one could set this option from the serial interface _directly_ Before reading jtara92101's post , I was trying to use the address I had reserved - that plus the unexpected case sensitivity of the Y/N reply - when commands are accepted in either case - really threw me for a loop. Using 0.0.0.0 then advised me that that was the way to set DHCP - not very intuitive But it is working now, so thank you all As well, I realized while looking at the telnet interface, that it has/had some DEBUG levels - which are not available in the serial interface

Thank you; I'll add this to my local FAQ

After realizing the my input is case sensitive for its y/n query, I finally got it to accept my data and ISY finder finally can find it. A bit of a nuisance since my user name & password are mixed case But thank both of you for your help

As far as I can tell/remember it was/is set for DHCP. However the router I have now is set for the subnet 192.168.1 Not being a LAN expert, I am a bit reluctant to mess to much with my setup. I'll have to see how far I get with this suggestion. As I mentioned in my earlier reply to PaulBates the serial interface implies the needed commands, but I have not been able to make them work

Yes, I did get the ISY shell CT seems to be very hard to use. After several (many) unsuccessful attempts to fill in all the values as expected - the timeout value of ~ 30 secs seems to reset/act like and <Enter> without action on my part, or else the input handler is very impatient and has a very short fuse - I did get the values I wanted, but nothing changed. From the shell it looked like the values I wanted were accepted, but the IP address shown as part of the prompt did not changed.So I tried a reset with no change either.

Some time ago, I had a second router on my system set to handle the subnet 192.168.0.x At the time my ISY-994 was part of that subnet. The router packed it in and I moved the ISY to the primary router & switch, but now I can't seem to find a way to move the IP address to the new subnet 192.168.1x From the serial connection and a scanner I have obtained the MAC address and reserved an IP address for it on my router. Resetting the ISY does not help The ISY Finder cannot see it. Wireshark tells me the ISY is broadcasting its presence on the LAN - 192.168.0.136 - every 30 sec or so The ISY will not answer/allow login via telnet at its advertised IP address. A serial connection via a terminal emulator and a micro-USB cable can access that end, but the way to change the IP address is both very hard (I would argue, almost impossible) to satisfy and in several dozen tries has yet to do what it is expected to do. I do have some backups, but I can only hope that they reflect the current state of my programs. Is a complete factory reset the only option ??? TIA for any ideas or help

Done & thank you all

Thank you both. After I reset the cache, if I work fast enough I can get the 'about' dialog and it tells me it is Insteon_UD994 v.4.2.18 ( 2014-10-30-08:07:30 ) for both Firmware & UI Then, after about 10 seconds, all I can do is quit.

Thank you, Xathros, I have reset the module several times, cleared the cache several times I have downloaded and am running the new Java Admin console. When I run the console & log in, I can see the menu etc for about 10 seconds then all tool bar buttons and menu items are greyed, except for exit. If I move fast, I can open the help - about dialog and it tells me that internet access is disabled - see the attached screenshot.

Over the past week or so, the programs on my ISY994iPro seemed to be dead. Today I backed up my programs from the ISY, updated the software and now I am trying to restore the software, but once the admin console opens up, all tool bar buttons and menu items (including 'Help') are disabled and I am unable to do anything. The only menu item that is still enabled and active is File -> Exit I have cleared the Java cache, but it made/makes no difference Any help will be most appreciated

Thank you; I had installed Kaspersky Antivirus in the meantime, though I seem to recall the same problem prior to that. In any case it now does what I want

Just recently I upgraded to the ISY-994-Pro from the old ISY-99 and am finally getting a chance to look a bit deeper. The inital install/upgrade seemed to go smoothly and caused no problems, but now when I want to check things over, I find that I no longer am able to see the current state, which IIRC, was always 'current' before the upgrade. What am I missing or what do I need to do to restore this feature. TIA for any help and a 'Happy New Year' to all

Just recently I upgraded to the ISY-994-Pro from the old ISY-99. Now I notice that whenever I log in to the ISY admin interface, it keep asking me repeatedly to authenticate myself. It is a enough of a nuisance to have to authenticate myself several times just to get to the interface, without doing so several times more once I am logged in. It seems to happen about half to a dozen times until things settle down. The requests come at about 10-20 second intervals - my best guess without actually timing the request. I am using FF 26.0 to log in and do have the Java console open. My software says is is UD994 version 4.0.5 Anyone else have the problem or know why it comes about and how to fix it? TIA
