[Hai-users] Web-Link and Microsoft Home Server

[Larry Dalrymple]

My Omni Pro (not an Omni-Pro II) system was installed approximatel 10 years ago when the house was built. It is using Version 1.8a, and is running my basic home security system--nothing fancy. Shortly after the installation, I hooked it up to a home server running Microsoft Server 2003, and installed HAI Web-Link so that I could check my system when I travel.

I recently upgraded my home server computer, and installed Microsoft Home Server. I re-installed my copy of Web-Link and started it, at which time the transmit and receive lights in the panel started flashing as they should. I  configured it for the correct serial port, baud rate, and user code, and set up my router for the new IP address.

When I go to another computer on my network and attempt to log into Web-Link, using my web browser and the IP address for the server, the "Hai Web-Link Login" page comes up and says"Please wait, the Web-Link Server is now loading. This may take a few minutes depending on the complexity of the controller configuration." This page loads and reloads about every five seconds, in a continuous loop, and never stops.

I am not sure if I have done something wrong in the setup, or if there is a compatability issue with the older Web-Link software and the newer Home Server software? If so, I obviously have a couple of options.  One would be to load the Server 2003 OS back onto the new computer and reinstall Web-Link because I know that it works.  The other would be to upgrade to the Omni-Pro II board, and new WL software, and of course that would be nice and offer a few more options (like the ability to control the system with my IPhone), but that would run a couple thousand dollars, and isn't really needed for the basic system that I am running.

Anyway, have any of you run into this?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
