If you do not have a UPnP router, or if File->Enable Internet Access returns null or fails,
then:
• Make sure you do NOT use File | Enable Internet Access. It's an either/or scenario
• Get your ISY IP address, and write it down. Here is an example of what you might
have:
o My URL: http://192.168.1.105
• If your ISY is on a DHCP (default behavior for most routers) then ISY's IP address
may change. As such, if you plan to use remote access:
o See 21.2 Assigning a Static IP Address to the ISY
• Follow the information on Portforward.com to configure your specific router for
port forwarding.
o Find and select your router on the initial page
o On the advertisement page locate the "Click here to skip this
advertisement..." link and click it to continue.
o Select the program HTTPS on the following page for instructions specific to
your router
• Using the address assigned by your ISP or a domain name from a dynamic DNS
service you are now ready to access your ISY software from the Internet!
o If you are using port 443 (the default) you can access your ISY using HTTPS
which will automatically forward port 443 to the ISY.
o An example might be https://10.88.24.15
• Once port forwarding is configured in the router you
Enable Internet Access option

• by opening a browser page to Portforward.com, or
• by opening a browser page to WhatIsMyIPaddress.com, or
• by logging into your router and viewing the Status page
o Menu item Help | About will display the external IP address
o Note the address is preceded with HTTPS as you will be using a secure port.
