Pulling a Static IP from my Router

[Brignolo]

People:

 

This may have been addressed before, but I spent 45 minutes or so looking for the answer:

 

Much like the Network Attached Storage Device on my LAN I would like my ISY-99i to pull a consistant IP address from my DHCP router.

 

This would prevent me having to chase port forwarding every time I experience a power failure. That may be tough when I'm traveling.

 

Is this possible without changing my router (Linksys WRT54GSV4)?

Download the Advanced Configuration Guide. It is for the 26, but I suspect it will be the same for 99. Someone here should probably confirm that before you try it!

Good Idea!

 

So I gave it a try. (Without conformation I may add.)

I accessed the proper address and got the user name and password lines in the cmd prompt ok but....

This was the result:

 

LOGGER:-10103 : n=[null] c=[null] a=[null]
H_ERROR:-10103 :
Authentication failed

Connection to host lost.

 

So it isn't the same as the ISY-26, but I'm sure there is an answer!

I looked over the user manual for the currently sold WRT54GS (I don't know what version number they currently sell) and it doesn't look like the factory firmware has static IP DHCP capability. Now there is always the possibility of third-party firmware having that functionality, if your version allows third party firmware that is.

 

The simplest alternative is to simply set a static IP on the ISY outside your regular DHCP block that your router is using. On the ISY-26, you do this by telnetting into the device and making the changes in the ISY Shell.

Thank you.

 

Tried that, but I have an ISY-99i/IR Pro, and it seems I can't telnet into it as I could the ISY-26...

 

Hmmmmm....

This is the method I would go with.

I have a ISY-99i/IR Pro as well, and telnet works fine here. From a command prompt, type:

 

TELNET (your ISY IP address) 126

 

..without the parentheses of course.

 

This should bring you to a login prompt. Type your username and password, and you should be in.

 

If you're doing that, but getting the error message you quoted above, maybe something else is wrong...

OK!

 

This is what happened:

 

I still couldn't telnet into my ISY-99 no matter what I did; kept getting the error displayed above.

 

I had noticed that after the last power failure the ISY-99 pulled 192.168.1.100 from the DHCP router.

 

On a hunch I decided to reset my router and workgroup switch which are involved with my ISY because I thought that the error messages may be related to the ".100"

 

Sure enough, when it finally rebooted-it pulled 192.168.1.107 (and that's a story in itself) I was able to telnet in, change to the static IP setting, and all is right with the world.

 

Thank you everyone.
