ctviggen1 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I have an ISY 994i and when I access the admin console, it opens then immediately closes. I've done this for both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Both have the exact same problem. I'm using Windows 7. About the only change I've made is I started integrating Amazon's Echo with the ISY (which works well, by the way). Otherwise, I've made no changes. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? Thank you.

I don't see what this would do but if java updated on you it could destroy the current setup. Report back so people know your situation.
jerlands Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 From the Wiki... Admin Console Closes AutomaticallyThis is usually related to firewall software on your computer and especially with AVAST or AVG (including MAC). Two solutions: Use https (instead of http) to connect to your ISY Configure Your Firewall Software Also, you might consider using the java application rather than the applet as the applet gets tied into browser resources. The other thing to look at is Java security settings. Jon...
ctviggen1 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Thank you both. What is the java application? (I've always used the interface on a browser to get in.) Well, this morning I did what an engineer (I have an EE degree) should do: I rebooted the ISY. I tried again and it worked! The admin console is working. However, if I did not have to go through a browser, that would be great. When I upgraded to the latest software and followed the instructions, I noticed there is now a shortcut on my desktop to the ISY Admin Console. Is this the java application? This seems to go straight to the console without using a browser. (You'll have to excuse me: I never put anything on the desktop and in fact have a completely clean desktop. So I don't look at the desktop for programs, since I assume none are there. If this is the java application, I'll put it on my taskbar.)
ctviggen1 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Well, I misspoke. It worked great...once. Now, when I go back in, it does the same thing -- opens and immediately closes. Darn. I have to go to work and likely will not be able to get back to this until this weekend. I'll try the tips above.
Naptown Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I'm having this same problem at my home. I'm able to remotely log in and make changes via my work PC. I'll try clearing the java cache later this evening to see it that is the problem.

Yes, when you run the browser access for the first time it loads the Administration Console java applet onto your desktop for you convenient usage next time. When java updates sometimes, or whenever you upgrade your ISY firmware version the java applet has to match the version of the f/w. Trouble is java like to hang onto everything and use the existing stuff. This causes problems with ISY. If you run Windows, go into the Control Panel and looks for the java icon. Under the first tab "General" at the bottom there is a button "Settings" that has the clearing of java junk on the pop-up box. Look for the "Delete FIles". Check all boxes for a clean slate.

ctviggen1 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 I tried clearing the cache (did not work), uninstalling then reinstalling Java (did not work). However, in accordance with Michel's instructions, I renamed the link to ISY from my network address to https://networkaddress, and this worked. However, I've lost the link on my desktop that allowed me to go directly to the control panel. How do I get that back?

However, I've lost the link on my desktop that allowed me to go directly to the control panel. How do I get that back? If you are having success with an outside of your LAN address (via Internet) here is what I did, Open the Amin Console and when the "ISY Finder = Not found" box opens, quick click on the "Add??" button (before it continues and loads the AC) and a text box input will popup. Enter your LAN address and port for your ISY and click "save". This may take a run or two to memorise where the button is to beat the software in action. Now, every time you run the Admin Console and the ISY Finder pops up you will have to double click on the URL (IP address) of your choice.
