I totally need to add that to my installs. What a time saver![emoji16][emoji6]

You gotta station copy it from your laptop to the localhost (still your laptop). Hit the platform and you will find it on the left. Copy it to the right and you are good.

I use the same process for mine as well. 'VM busted' can be basically any issue you would have as if it were a separate entire machine. So update the drivers, uninstall and reinstall them, and try a...

It sounds like the VM is busted, and the increased resources on the host machine gave a marginal improvement, but the VM is still busted.
I would reinstall the software and drivers, and if nothing...

Clarify this please. I do not understand this at all.
I use HVACPro with VmWare all the time with no issues.

Search the controls forum for 'passphrase' this is covered several times....

Told ya. Thanks Reckles.
I never messed with a VLX. I had a large central plant that had to be in a single controller, and the 237 points was too large for a VLX, so we ended up with an Eclypse. I...

GGT is a VERY simple, easy to use, and pretty graphics tool. It is easy to learn and does quite well. It is not ultra flexible. It has the ability to relativise or alias a single graphic for use on...

Delta uses larger system controllers to convert bacnet MSTP to Bacnet IP. So the CAT5 rj45 plug is bacnet IP, and the ADP45-MSTP-TB-Y is a bacnet MSTP to BacnetIP router.
There is no way to make...

I can see it now...

This is what I use to get into these, and I luv it. I also have the CVTPro, but I like this better. S2Sam makes these. So my previous post was a...

Oh I do know this is not anywhere near a properly designed anything. I figured a properly placed post would not only get your attention, but might also get a response I could learn from. I soak up...

I LUV this.... but do not tell S2Sam. [emoji16]

I came accross a few NCMs that supported LON a while ago and it surprised me. I guess these are the controllers that would have been used... If one was looking for that MCL Tool it looks from the...

You are smarter than some.

I did johnson LON around 2014. They were relabeled Distech. Everything about it was pure Distech except the sticker... which was annoying because all I knew was Johnson before that...
Here is a...

Orion, you said:

That reminded me that you intended to try to blow up a router:
I was hoping for a video with fireworks....[emoji6] Did you ever get around to doing that?

In the name of customer education....
Mr. 3AE, this practice is to try their best to keep other vendors out of their buildings. The ONLY way to talk ARC156 is using an ALC device/router. This means...

I can say I have never dismembered their controllers.. and s2sam usually has good insights. Trust his assesments.
Out of curiosity sam, do you happen to know what kind of controllers you dismembered...

I do JCI, niagara, Distech, Delta, Schneider occasionally, and I am a 2nd string Siemens guy. KMC if I have to.
I REALLY like Delta. I like their company culture, tech support is EASY to get as a...

No, the n4mig command that migrates the stations from AX to N4. I suppose it is not much of a wizard, but the conversion process is quite smooth if you prep well.

I love your perspective Sam.
Not to be too cynical, but the result is I have increased the margin on my project (through lower install labor) and it is offset by higher service costs that I can...

I figured that was coming. [emoji6]
The saved time and expense of not needing a power wire and transformers is offset by the need for more and more expensive switches. So daisy chaining is helpful,...

Me too. Just treat it like any upgrade. I try to keep a pile of oddball modules to facilitate the upgrade process. Like any upgrade, it is MUCH easier to get the upgrade wizard to do it for you.

Absolutely.

There is a means by which to power the things that is not POE. Good. DC, not as good.
Also, when distec IP controllers fail, the internal switch fails in a way that allows the BacNetIP Data to pass...

I understand the concept, but I actually prefer the old fashioned way of powering controllers. I have predictability in install, the CAT5 does not need home runs to the switch... and a few other...

I think that might be it. When I get back to work I may try it.

Are you offering to bund my network for me? [emoji16]
The site is 30 JACEs, a Websup, Envysion graphics and so on. Cannot really ditch the JACE altogether. Perhaps you mean bind the thing...

JCI has software developers designing their BAS code, and pushing updates regularly. Their stuff is modularized, so an updated module pops into place and does not disturb other modules. The downside...

Uh, you mean I should go get a copy of LNS, and use it to make the binds? Or the Niagara file that has the Fox Connection timeout setting is called LNS?
I was of the impression that the LON links...

Update - turns out when I look at these links in the LON link manager that a large number of them come up as new links, and not bound. So I been binding these as fast as I can. I do not know whether...

I would LUV to know more about that. PM me or something.

Alper, is this the sort of response you typically get? Skepticism through to hostility?
I do not run in your circles, so I am curious.

Well I never tried that. I suppose so. There is also the process for recovering an unreachable JACE you can do as well. Filezilla, ftp connection, and so on.

Perhaps trying other manufacturers default creds?
Not assume anything, but you should be serial shelled into the JACE on a backup button reset to confirm the action.... you very likely know that,...

There is also the backup button reset....

Default creds always work after that
