Wiser, CNI and C-Bus problems

Thanks for the suggestions kjayakumar. The CNI isnow in the poper state as reflected by the screenshot. But as you can see, no wiser connection and no C-Gate conneciton is possible.

 

I may be wrong but it looks like to me that you have the wrong IP listed for your CNI in your Project Database. If the IPs you listed in your first post are correct:

Wiser: 192.168.1.26
CNI: 192.168.1.27

Which I think it is as that is what is in the screen shot of your CNI config.

Then if you are trying to connect to CBus with Toolkit via a local CGate then it should be trying to connect to 192.168.1.27 in your screen shot it is trying to connect to 192.168.1.26.

This would cause the issues you are having.

Try changing the IP in your project database to 192.168.1.27 and reload your wiser and see what happens.

 

jboer, that's not the supported approach. The Wiser is supposed to be permanently connected to the CNI, and when Toolkit tries to connect, it connects through Wiser IP so that the Wiser can disocnnect and pass the Toolkit conneciton through. Then when Toolkit disconnects, it reconnects the Wiser interface. That's the documented behaviour.

If I try and connect directily to the CNI IP address, I get ~~~ and *** messages back and nothing more (in C-Gate).

It's like the Wiser has puke dup and is not happy about something. Plan B is to factory reset the Wiser and try again from there, but it's ahassle as it will got back to 192.168.1.1 (which is my router on my network). So I need to pull it out ontoi the bench and isolte it from the rest of the network, etc.

 

Fair enough, Ill keep my mouth shut

But basically the wiser isn't allowing any in/out connections?

 

Cracked it. First I thought a factory reset would do the job, but that didn't work. Then I saw I had pushed a project and firmware upgrade to the device with PICED 4.11.1.0, then edited that project and pushed it again with PICED 4.11.0.0. After the reset, opened 4.11.1.0 and uploaded the project again, and voila, everything back to normal.

So in summary, it looks like editing a project with an older version (even .1 release older) is not a good idea!

 

Hmmm.. This is not good. This should be picked up by PICED and brought to your attention. You should not have to go looking for this.

I'll get a bug report issued on this.

Cheers
