I recently had to replace my router, so the IP address for my ISY-99 is now different. How do I reset or reconfigure the universal devices admin console?

 

When I go to the http://universtal-devices.com/99i site it launches the console, but immediately looks for the ISY at the old IP address and just gives me errors.

MSM,

 

This is quite surprising: going to http://www.universal-devices.com/99i searches the network for your ISY. If this URL does not find your ISY, then perhaps the problem is that your ISY has a static IP address which is not in the same subnet as your new router. The only way to change the IP address is to connect your ISY to your computer, use Hyperterminal, and change ISY's IP address to something with in the current router's domain.

 

Here are some instructions:

Michel,

 

Fortunately it turns out to be an easier situation than that. One of my kids decided they needed to free up a port on the router, so they unplugged the ISY.

 

Not sure why they didn't bother to simply connect to the Cisco hub that is right there with 4 empty ports. They probably just went for the first thing they saw, which was the Apple Airport Extreme Basestation ... and sense that worked, well, they were finished.

 

I've barely scratched the surface of what can be done with this unit. I switched to it mostly do to poor experience with the SmartHome software and not wanting to have to run it off a PC.

 

It works so well, I have needed to connect to it for anything in quite a while until last night when I wanted to make a small adjustment in one of my scenes.

 

Kudos on what seems to be a rock solid reliable product; though it's not kid tamper proof!

Hi MSM,

 

Thanks so very much for the update and I am so very delighted to hear that you are happy with the unit.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
