[SOLVED] HC2 unreachable, Fibaro finder shows weird IP

[3JL 7]

Hi,

For some weird reason, my HC2 just got unreachable via web browser... I restarted using the device's power button, no effect. Then I used Fibaro finder which found it but it now has an IP address outside the normal range.

My router uses a static routing map to fix the ip. Other IPs are normal.

 

Any clue whether this is a router problem or an HC2 problem? What would be the recommended way to recover?

 

(I tried removing the HC2 from the static map - with no effect)

 

Thanks

Hi

as far as I remember HC2 can started with predefined static IP address, please read manual.

UPD: 

Important information on LAN settings
By default, the HC2 expects to be connected to a DHCP server. In this mode, HC2 IP address may be obtained with the use of the HC2 Finder (see HC2 Finder). Another option is to set Static IP. Static IP may be set from the LAN settings tab, or manually, by holding the Recovery button (back side of the HC2 casing) after the device has been connected to power supply. In this case, the HC2 will have following settings:
• IP Address: 192.168.81.1
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway address: 192.168.81.1
When static IP has been set, it is possible to connect HC2 directly to Ethernet port of a PC, however PC network settings must be set to match those of HC2:
• PC/MAC IP: 192.168.81.5
• Subnet mask:: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway address: 192.168.81.1
NOTICE After setting a static IP for the HC2 by pressing and holding the Recovery button, please enter LAN settings to change connection type to DHCP, when the HC2 is connected to the PC.

Apparently I accidentally started recovery mode. It now has that IP address. I will try to connect directly to pc. Thanks!

 

EDIT: it worked, everything is still there. Thanks!
