Port Disappeared

[rlgeltman]

After updating successfully to the latest firmware from the U-D website, the port designation disappeared. I can log onto the console only by entering www.universal-devices.com/99i. Clicking on about shows the outside URL and the local URL but no port number. I can enable internet access and have tried to forward the port to 443 thru the router but this is of no help. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hello Richard,

 

Indeed this is the case with the new firmware: the port number is for HTTP has changed to 80 (which is the default port for HTTP and thus not shown). The default port for HTTPS is 443 and thus not shown. Can you get to your ISY using the URL on About (without the port number)?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, I can access the ISY99i by entering the local URL without any port. It is not the usual -- first a kind of database comes up, then, when clicking console, the "Leave this widow open" screen, then the console after another password log on. So I guess this works. What URL/port etc would I enter from an outside computer to gain access?

 

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

 

To access from outside, you will use port 443 which is HTTPS (unless you want to change it). So, you would access it like:

https://your.external-ip.address

 

This change was made so that you could get to your ISY using any mobile phone.

 

If you want to get to the Admin Console, all you have to do is to add /admin to the end of the URL:

http://your.isy.address/admin

 

With kind regards,

Michel
