aLf Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I have my old 26 which was removed from home 1. I now want to use it in home 2. The instructions say that to do a factory reset you just have to get it on the network and enter ISY. I had a static IP entered on it before (can't remember what IP I gave it), new router etc. My Network Places does not see it! How can I just get to it and re-enter the new static IP? A brief instruction on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. Regards, aLf
Michel Kohanim Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Hi aLf, Hopefully you still have the serial cable that came with your ISY. The only way to factory reset the 26 is to use Hyperterminal and connect to your ISY using a serial port on your computer (http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... erial_Port). Once connected, and logged in: 1. To make your ISY have a dynamic address, issue CT followed by 0.0.0.0 for the IP address 2. To factory reset your ISY, issue FR With kind regards, Michel
aLf Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 OK, talk about a "dumb" terminal, I'm it. I do have the DB9 cable. But out of three computers, I don't have a serial outlet on the computer. So now what do I do? aLf
MikeB Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 You could purchase a USB to serial adapter which would be handy to have anyhow - they are fairly inexpensive. Here are a couple links that should help you find one locally: http://www.staples.com/Belkin-USB-to-Se ... plesSearch http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... ies&ks=960 Or, if you can wait a couple of days, you should be able to find them online for $20 or less.
aLf Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 OK, now I'm not sure I even have the password and log-ins. Why in the world isn't there a way to Factory Reset this thing blindly? Can't you just flash the memory and start over? What would the refurb guys do? aLf
MikeB Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Here is the article on resetting the password: http://www.universal-devices.com/mwiki/ ... d/Password So, you would connect using the serial cable like discussed above and follow the above instructions to reset your password. I believe that replacing/wiping the SD card will reset your device config and login information, but I'm pretty certain your static IP will stay the same so logging in with the serial cable would still be necessary. If you do replace/wipe the SD card, be sure to connect using the UDI URL and reload your firmware. http://www.universal-devices.com/99i
