watson524 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Seems like a dumb question to be asking I know, but..... In my configuration, I have the IP of the ISY on port 443 and on my router I forward that port through to the ISY. Agave works just fine for me on my phone (confirmed it's going through WAN and not LAN by shutting off wireless on phone). I just happened to try to "enable internet access (ISY)" in the admin console and it says "Failed enabling internet access". Seems like I don't need it maybe but in case I do, doesn't seem like it works. thanks
mwester Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 That's probably the most poorly-named GUI item in the ISY, and I'm at a loss to understand why UDI hasn't changed the name, or better yet moved that item down into some deep Admin->Super-admin->you-don't-really-want-to-do-this menu. It enables UPNP, a technology universally frowned upon by all except malware and virus authors (they love it). Don't turn it on -- hopefully your router ignores UPNP, but still it's best to not even attempt to use that mis-technology!
watson524 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Posted September 24, 2018 Interesting, my router (linksys wrt 1900ac) does have UPnP enabled already - they seem tot think it should have it for ease of use, but still the ISY console doesn't let me turn on that enable internet setting. Sounds like that's a good thing and since I have a DynDNS account, I'm all set anyway
larryllix Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 If you turn off your uPnP in your router some programs will not operate or update any more. CAO Tags are one that may stop functioning. Modern routers all have the capability built in to make some techniques work.
