Is there a problem with special days in time schedule operations?

Issue Is there a problem with special days in time schedule operations? Environment I/NET Site Cause Is there a problem with special days in time schedule operations? Resolution No, the problem most often is in programming. Our software operates such that if there is a special day defined, anywhere in the system, all other time schedules are affected. If they have no entry for that special day, they will do NOTHING. Therefore, if a person defines a special day in one schedule, they must visit all others and define what they are to do on that day also. If it is an access control system, this applies to both door mode and personnel schedules. Read the release announcement for I/NET 2.44a.

What is acceptable for an earth ground?

Issue What is acceptable for an earth ground? Environment I/NET site Cause What is acceptable for an earth ground? Resolution It must be a direct electrical path to earth ground. In other words, connecting the controller ground wire to a lug, where earth ground is also connected is ok. Connecting the controller ground wire to a lug in one corner of an enclosure, and the earth ground is on a lug at another corner is NOT OK. That is using the enclosure as part of the electrical path, and not a direct connection. It is NOT acceptable to use conduit or vav boxes as part of the path, either. The same applies for LAN shield grounding.

Unable to login to AS directly when using Domain user

Issue Unable to login to AS directly when using Domain user. It is possible to login to AS directly with "Local" Domain and to the ES with same Domain. Receive error "Can not continue because server is offline or temporarily unavailable" even though ES is online. Product Line EcoStruxure Building Operation Environment Enterprise Server Automation Server Domain Cause AS is unable to communicate with the ES to properly authenticate the Domain user.  If the ES is picking up a WiFi IP address instead of the LAN IP address, this can be the cause. All other communications can still function correctly with the ES but the issue occurs when the AS tries to connect directly to query the Domain, it will be using the wrong IP address. Resolution Changed the order of NIC''s in Windows so that the Local Area Connection was first, confirmed the ES had the correct IP address, confirmed the AS saw the change, and was then able to login to the AS directly using the Domain user. See How to set the Enterprise Server IP address for details on how to ensure you are using the correct IP address.  Another thing to look out for is that you are using the correct port number for the ES communications as seen from the AS.
