Local Network Access to ISY Without UPnP

[Algorithm]

Now that I can access ISY with 2.4.10, and since I don't like to have UPnP enabled, I've added a link to my bookmarks which goes to http:/192.169.x.y:z/0/p (there is a slash missing so it isn't a clickable link in the forum) so that I don't have to go to the UDI Support page every time, or in case the Internet connection is down. Is this an acceptable way to access ISY?

Yes it is. Also remember that if you decide to try connecting to it from the internet outside world all you do is change the "p" to an "x" like in this example here.

 

External: http:/192.169.x.y:z/0/x

Internal: http:/192.169.x.y:z/0/p

Just Another Joe,

 

Yes, absolutely acceptable. The only problem arises if

a) you are using DHCP and

your ISY's DHCP lease expires

in which case, your link will no longer work.

 

To alleviate this, you can make ISY use a static IP address. Please consult Advanced Configuration Guide (http://www.universal-devices.com/resources.htm) to configure ISY with static IP.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Thanks for the information, Mark and Michel. My DHCP addresses never seem to change, even when the computer is switched off for the night and back on. But I think I might try changing my network to static addresses anyway, when I find the time.

My pleasure!
