I've been trying to migrate from my working 994i to the new eisy, but cannot get the eisy to talk to the PLM.  I backed up the 994 configuration like the instructions said, connected my plm with the insteon provided plm to serial cable, and a usb to serial adapter.  Using the admin console, it tried to restore the backup configuration, but the progress dialog kept looping from 0 - 100% all day.  I exited out of the admin console, and tried again, but the plm diagnostics status menu item just says not connected.  If I try to reset the PLM, it errors with an error, -300000/-20.  As a side note, connecting the PLM back to the original 994 works perfectly. 

Using the hdmi output and a keyboard, I tailed the /var/log/messages file, and see the system detecting the usb adapter, but don't know if there are any other log files on the system I can look at to see if there are better exceptions/errors/debug about why the system can't talk to the plm. 

One other note on overall usefulness of the local hdmi env, if I start up the desktop and use the local iox launcher, the system is unable to start the pg3 option, since it can't seem to launch a default browser.  Seems that the ungoogled chromium isn't setup as the default browser, so isn't used. 

Another set of questions as a user I think would be good to add to the FAQ, how do you restore the unit to factory defaults, ie my first thought was to restore to factory default and try getting the plm to work before trying to restore the 994 backup configuration.  I couldn't find how to reset.  I also get an exception starting the admin console when run locally, something about SSDP socket connection error.

Thanks for any help.

I haven't checked in a few days but last time I read the eisy wiki, it had the instructions on how to factory reset the EISY.

Thanks, I didn't see that wiki entry.
