Any way to change "unchangeable" EISY ports?

When I had the ISY, I could set the network port preferences as I wished.

Now with the new ISY, the ports are baked in and grayed out. Unfortunately, the port chosen by the developers for secure control communication -- 8443 -- is already assigned to the CalDAV protocol, which I also serve inside my LAN. That means that when my router sees CalDAV or EISY traffic arriving from outside our LAN, it has no way of telling to which of two different devices to forward it.

Is there any way around the "locked" ports that would allow me to choose the old port I used to use, that worked?

Maybe edit:

/var/isy/FILES/CONF/NETWORK.CFG

I don't know if it will work or break your eisy. Your on your own.

you will need root privileges: sudo -i

OK, well, I have no response to this. My machine clearly doesn't have this file, I'm not imagining it. Perhaps you have some add-on that I don't -- mine is straight factory configuration.

I would submit a ticket as this is something other users haven't run in to. I have to believe UDI will help you navigate this.

So did I, you will notice I am operating from root. I also tried precisely the syntax you used from admin, but it didn't change my results.

I opened one last night. UDI seems less than eager to accommodate. 

"...this is not "seemingly arbitrary restriction". This was done in order to reduce our support issues."

Perhaps it is significant that I do NOT use the portal facility at all? My operation and administration are completely local.

The tech at UD identified the relevant file as /var/isy/FILES/CONF/0.UCF . It's binary, so changing it isn't trivial, but it's a very short file and it's doable. I have my secure eisy port set to the value I want now. Thanks, all.

i see the file on my stock eisy.

sudo find ....  did not work. had to use sudo -i.

glad you got it working

Dunno what to tell you. I posted the entire contents of that directory in transaction 3. It's there for anybody to see. Again, maybe it has something to do with me not using the portal services, I really don't know.
