Using Https - Universal Devices ISY-994i User Manual

21.5.2

Using HTTPS

Most firewall software are more lenient with HTTPS/secure traffic. Before configuring any
firewall settings, you might want to try connecting to ISY using HTTPS:
• Bring up the ISY Finder by using the ISY994 icon on your desktop (installed by this
link http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/admin.jnlp)
• Login to your ISY
• Bring ISY Finder to the foreground (it's behind the Admin Console)
• Click on the add button
• Enter the IP address:Port of your ISY but, instead, prefix with https. For instance, if
your ISY's IP address is 192.168.0.26 and HTTPS Port for your ISY is 8226 (Admin
Console | Configuration | Network), then enter https://192.168.0.26:8226
• Close the Admin Console
• Restart the Admin Console using the icon on your desktop, in ISY Finder, double
click the https address
21.5.3 Configuring Firewalls
In most cases, if you add ISY to the Trusted Zone or Exclusion List, all should be fine. Alas,
there are certain firewall software which may require a little more configuration:
21.5.4 AVAST
• Open Avast and select -- Settings
• Select -- Active Protection
• Select -- Web Shield "cog wheel"
• Under enable Web Scanning select the check box -- "Scan traffic from well-known
browser processes only"
