ISY99 Reformatted SDCard, can't get to http interface.

[simonsez]

Hi,

 

I have a old ISY99i left over from when I upgraded to the 994. My parents home has a mixture of X10 and Insteon but they only use everything via the X10 protocol. The X10 setup has worked fairly well, but now they'd like to do some things that the X10 setup just won't allow or is too cumbersome to do and I'd like to see them take advantage of their existing Insteon gear. Plus its easier for me to troubleshoot and make changes with Isy and Insteon so I thought I could put the old Isy to good use there until I could get them a new one.

 

So today I attempted to do so. It's been tucked away on my shelf in the original box. First attempt at booting up the unit and I get flashing Error with PWR, TX and RX lit. Tried to factory reset and no luck. This was before I read online that people aid NOT to reset it without consulting UDI first, oops. Why isn't that in the wiki? Pretty surprised since I expected to just boot up. There was no way to access it so finally I removed the SDcard, put it in windows machine and did a quick format. Once back in the Isy it finally booted up. I located the address it got from DHCP, and was able to telnet in. So, some progress.

 

However when I try to access the http interface I get a blank page. Back at telnet when I run 'ls WEB', the folder is empty. Which would explain the blank page. I'm not sure where to go from here to get it operational again. Could anyone suggest the next steps I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

When you formatted the SD card. You wiped out the firmware stored on it.

Thanks Brian. I skimmed over that part in the wiki even thought I looked at multiple times. Doh. Since I couldn't get to the web interface on the device I figured there was something I needed to do first. I see now that you don't go to the interface on the device but use the UDI link to get it going again. I should have paid closer attention!

 

Cheers.
