I want to replace my micro sd card on isy_994i:

I am following guide https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Replacing/Formatting_an_SD_Card...

when using the isy finder as per instructions I cannot log into the admin console...

(I can login with the old provisioned sd card)

 

 

Did you reinstall your firmware when you flashed the new card

Look at step 3 and 4 on the page you linked to.

Firmware and an install of a backup is needed.

that's the whole point: In order to install the firmware I have to access the admin console (step #3) which does not work: after selecting admin console in isy finder nothing happens: I've been wondering whether the new 16 gb  sd card is too big even though isy is supposed to support that size...

question: I cleared the java cache and started the isy finder: with the new sd card the ip address still remained the same - is that correct? I removed the new sd card and opened it in file explorer and isy has written its directory folders on it. But still, when I try to access the admin console it just displays an endless hour glass... Also I can ping isy but cannot telnet to it...

as soon as I reinstall the old sd card all is well again and I can access the admin console (but I want to replace it because today after a power failure I could not gain access and only regained access after reinserting the sd card several times - this anomaly makes me nervous and I wonder what trouble lies ahead)

Did you follow the part 3 step 2? Where you have to go online and use the link to start the Administrative Console for an SD card with no firmware. To then add the firmware. I don't think trying to write it locally is going to work.

@CandC,

What's the pattern of lights on the front when you use the new SD Card? Is it as described here? 

With kind regards,
Michel

@ Brian H: Yes I did part 3 step 2: following that link will download start.jnip file... it will start the isy finder and then when I try to enter the admin console it just hangs and does nothing except the hour glass...

@Michel Kohanin: the light pattern is normal, no errors, same pattern when I re-insert the old sd card and when all is good...

The old sd card is the original 1 GB card and the new is 16 GB: I am going to try a smaller sd card...

worked with another computer... why?

One thought would be an antivirus or firewall was involved. Or maybe one is using Windows 10 and the other one an older version.
