Does that mean that X10 devices won't appear in the web interface either? And what does this mean for programming? I guess I won't see the user friendly names I currently have for each of the X10 addresses?

Thanks for everyone's prompt replies. All I can tell you is my original unit says ISY99 on the label on bottom and has a higher serial number compared to the new 2nd hand unit which says ISY99i PRO on the label on the bottom. Only the ISY99i PRO has the SD card

I very much suspect the answer to this is "upgrade to an eISY"... but just in case. I've been a *very* happy ISY99 + X10 + Networking modules since ~2009. Recently I purchased, as a back-up, a 2nd-hand ISY99. That 2nd-hand unit is working fine... but it is missing the X10 and Networking Modules. I know those modules are no longer available from the website. Is there any other way to add those modules to my 2nd-hand ISY99? I note my original ISY doesn't have an external SD card slot, but the 2nd-hand one does. If my original ISY dies, if I open it up, will I find an SD card inside it, and if yes, can I move that to the 2nd hand ISY to move over the modules and the config? P.S. I still run an all X10 network and after adding the XTBR High-Power Plug-in X10 Repeater reliability has been very very good. Right now I can't afford to replace all my X10 devices with INSTEON so I can only use an eISY if it is X10 compatible - I have an X10 capable 2412S PLM which is working fine (and a spare!)

Hi everyone... thanks so much for the prompt and detailed responses. Yes I did "solve" the problem... and I had been using v4.2.18 of the admin java with my v3.1.3 ISY99 for years without problem until the past week (provoking the original post)... but I thought I better try to download the admin java directly from my ISY99 as per warning / instructions from @Geddy (Thank-you) When I did this, and after adding http://10.168.24.245 to the security "exceptions site security" list, I got the following error message... Any clue if / how this is a fixable problem? Also I did originally follow the instructions provided at the link suggested by @Techman(thank-you) (following the instructions, including clearing the cache mentioned here ISY Launcher - Current Release Announcements - Universal Devices Forum (universal-devices.com). But I notice this post says "For 4.6.2 firmware and below, as well as 5.0.12 firmware and below, you will get the original ISY Finder when you launch" but this didn't happen for me despite being on firmware v3.1.3 - I get the new ISY Finder and as I noted in the original post the new ISY Finder doesn't allow me to open the admin app. Any thoughts?

After some more searching I found this post which recommended visiting this address http://isy.universal-devices.com/99i/admin.jnlp - and this did the trick. This downloaded admin.jnlp from that location was able to successfully launch the admin console v4.9.0. Whew! Note: oddly the first time the admin.jlnp file is opened I get a "unable to launch the application" "Error: JAR resources in JNLP file are not signed by the same certificate". The 2nd time the same file is opened it all works fine... the ISY Finder appears and then automagically the login prompt appears and everything appears to work.

Probably the answer to this question is I need to upgrade everything... but in case there is a fix... Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan Model: ISY 99i 256 Platform: ISY-C-99 Version: 3.1.3 Build Timestamp: 2011-06-03-16:55:48 Java: v8 Update 341 Build 10 Since ~2012 I've been successfully using "X10 Console v4.2.18.jlnp" to launch the ISY Finder which automagically launched the admin console and prompt for user name and password. But today Oct 1, 2022, I get a "Unable to Launch Application" when I run "x10 console v4.2.18.jlnp" with the first line of the "details": java.lang.SecurityException: illegal URL redirect at com.sun.deploy.net.HttpUtils.followRedirects(Unknown Source) As far as I know I've not upgraded Java nor anything else on this machine recently. Searching on this form I found this post which suggested I move to the new ISY Launcher following the instructions in this post This runs successfully and displays my ISY correctly... yes name and the IP address is OK, as is the http (I never installed the certificates to make https work) But clicking on the highlighted row doesn't bring up the menu to select "Admin Console (LAN)" Any ideas? I can still access the web interface of the ISY99i and the web services/SOAP are all working OK. All the programs on the ISY99i continue to work as programmed.
