Message-ID: <001901c66fdc$a3079830$6800a8c0@DJR2>

Hey Everyone:

Has anyone found out how to get around an ISP that requires outgoing authentication for Web-Link II to send emails upon a given program line?  Or alternatively, do we know when HAI will reconfigure Web-Link II to accept password and ID authentication for outgoing mail for specific ISPs?  Verizon and others will not allow outgoing mail without authentication for obvious spam-related reasons.  On the other hand, many ISPs will allow this.

Thanks as always for this discussion.

I haven't tried that because COMCAST has allowed it.  I was surprised.

Thanks Denis:

Yes, I have Verizon DSL in one house, but there is no PPPoE authentication SW on any PC of the network.  Actually, the house has a DLink 614+ router with PPPoE dynamic enabled, along with ID and password entered.  I believe the ID and password in the router are to allow the DSL modem to connect to the DSL account.

I think the issue is that regardless of the email software you use (Outlook Express, Outlook, etc), for Verizon DSL, one has to configure the email software to authenticate the smtp server with your ID and password for any outgoing mail.  I haven't been able to do any other way (i.e. use the ID and password in the router).  One can use a different smtp and POP3 server from a different ISP (like Direcway), but again, the outgoing email is rejected by Verizon unless authentication is checked and account ID and password entered.  So, therefore, any emails from Web-LinkII always fail since it is not associataed with any outgoing authentication.  At another house with Direcway, the emails from Web-LinkII work fine.

So, Denis, have you been successful with outgoing emails with Web-LinkII with the new FIOS service?

Also, has anyone seen failures of rules entered in Web-LinkII such that the rule occurs in the OmniII or Omni, but Web-LinkII sometimes misses it, and thus, the rule isn't evoked?  This occurs in an application where the server computer is connected to the Omni via an RS-232 port.

Many thanks!

Doug, 
I am assuming you have DSL. and they loaded the PPPoE authentication SW on the PC and the use an Ethernet cable between the PC and the DSL modem.
I have the new FIOS service, and instead of loading any software on any of the PCs, they provided a DLINK 604 router with the PPPoE enabled and we put  the account and password in the router. 

What you may be able to do is use a cheap router that supports PPPoE, and MAC address cloning (Most linksys routers support) and give the router your account info. If it does not connect, use the Ethernet address clone feature and give the router you MAC address from your PC to use on the WAN side of the connection. 

On my router the PPPoE selected is for DSL links, and the style of PPPoE is dynamic.

Regards Denis

Yes, I see many rule emails are missed by web-link. Are you running the
latest version of web-link? They claimed to have cured the rules not firing
problem. I have not upgraded to the latest as yet since the new ver will
only run on XPPro.

Why my Phase Coupler Doesn?t Work ??? it has the Label HAI Revision A1 
and the

All switches in the First Phase send and receive very well that is
logic because
are in the same phase that the 36A00-1 PIM But the problem are the 
others
Switches may be is because their are in the Second and Third Phase
 
I was thinking buy others two 36A00-1 PIMS and put them in the port 1 
and 2 of
my Omni Pro II 2.9 for have a once PIM in Each Phase (1, 2 and 3 ) My 
question
is?? Could be work this solution??

You need a three phase coupler. HAI only makes a two phase coupler.  PCS may make a three phase coupler.

Message-ID: <44663555.7090205@IEEE.org>

I have an install with the following items attached

    1. Three flush consoles
    2. One Wireless Receiver

One of the consoles developed a problem after the Aegis 2000

at that console developed into a pretty loud screech, so the system
was powered down.

After removing everything from the 12V feed terminal, I attached each
of the 12V leads indivudually.  But two of the console leads produce the 
noise,
at least according to me helper.  Meaning, both leads produce a noise in the
same console (which in one case would be unpowered).

I don't see how this is possible.  Any thoughts before I get another 
helper and retest?

Has anyone been able to retrofit existing shades or blinds into 
motorized units?  I have Hunter Douglas PowerRise blinds which are 
battery powered, but I'd like to retrofit them to a wired system for 
more reliability and better performance.

Is it possible to purchase just the motors or the headrail assemblies so 
that I can reuse my existing material?  I know that companies like BTX 
and Somfy offer this sort of thing, but their cost to retrofit is about 
$300/shade and they won't sell the motors separately.  I'm sure I could 
do the retrofit if I could get my hands on the appropriate motors.

a few months ago I bought a Somfy motor on ebay for about $45.00.  I haven't 
had a chance to do anything with it, but Somfy motors appear there once in 
awhile; you may want to chk there.

At last year's CEDIA, a Somfy rep told me they would sell the motors
separately.  I never followed-up, but you should be able to find the names
of a few dealers on their website...

Has anyone been able to retrofit existing shades or blinds into 

motorized units?  I have Hunter Douglas PowerRise blinds which are 

battery powered, but I'd like to retrofit them to a wired system for 

more reliability and better performance.

 

Is it possible to purchase just the motors or the headrail assemblies so 

that I can reuse my existing material?  I know that companies like BTX 

and Somfy offer this sort of thing, but their cost to retrofit is about 

$300/shade and they won't sell the motors separately.  I'm sure I could 

do the retrofit if I could get my hands on the appropriate motors.

Subject: [Hai-users] Outdoor Momentary PushButton
Message-ID: <447B3293.4040805@IEEE.org>

I'm looking for a severe-weather/harsh climate outdoor
pushbutton that can be surface or flush mounted (both).
Ideally, it would last 20+years without maintenance.

It's a contact-closure unit for gates/doors. 

Any suggestions?

Maybe a capacitive touch plate with the electronics
protected inside the wall (if there is a wall)?

Though finding electronics that will last 20 years
in even a benign environment might be impossible.

What are you controlling?
