[hart2hart]

EDIT: Post below has been edited to reflect items that were found in my change logs and Michel's comments were not based on exactly what you see below. This is now intended as a simple set of steps that others may find useful.

 

 

• Upgrade 99i to latest firmware once it become official
  Upgrade 994i to same offical release
  Set temp network ip address on 994i
  Install self signed certificate on 994i
  Perform final backup of 99i
  Request modules be moved to 994i
  Remove 99i
  Restore final 99i backup to 994i
  Confirm location and time settings
  Reboot
  Set final ip address on 994i
  Reboot
  Confirm Firewall rules reflect 994i mac address (in my case Norton Internet Security -- put ISY in fully trusted zone of home network. Was originally done to get maximum performance with DSCLink -- Thanks again IO_Guy)
  Enjoy
  Research and install a CA Certificate

Hello hart2hart,

 

You got it! But, for most, it would be quite sufficient to simply restore their 99i backup on 994 and start running immediately.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Happy Holidays!

 

Given the thoroughness and quality of your product and staff, I consider that one hell of a compliment.

Remember, provided you don't make any changes to your devices after installing the 994i, you can always unplug it and plug the 99i back in and nothing will have changed.

 

So, I wouldn't bother waiting to start running the 994i.
