Not without modifications, as there will be a conflict between the RS232 receive data and the Ethernet port if the Ethernet daughterboard were plugged in to a UCM01

Just to add on to Chiu\'s post. What Chiu meant was that you cannot purchase the Ethernet daughterboard and plug it into the UCM01 to convert it into a UCM/Ethernet.
If you plan to purchase a Tibbo serial-ethernet module, like their DS100, it should be able to work.

Hi Gary,
Would you be so kind as to verify that the following product serve as a valid access point with the Comfort Ucm/Ethernet

Thanks

Yep, looks ok from the print.
Wireless can be really simple to set up or troublesome. Tip: Take the time to upgrade the firmware to the latest version first.
Also get the UCM working over a Ethernet cable first.

Hi all,
I had quite an eventfull weekend getting all of this to work.
The UCM/Ethernet installation in Comfort was a breeze, but accessing it via the Wap was another story.
After playing around a bit I got the wireless to work.
The touch screen interface (Mainlobby) to Comfort was a no go cause it uses a serial port comms. After surfing the web, I found a piece of software that will redirect data from a serial port to a IP address. Works like a dream.
I am so stoked
Thank you all for the assistance

Glad it worked out. As I said the wireless part can be simple or a pig. All you need is a few doggy drivers and slightly incompatible kit. But at least you have WAP enabled (I assume you do) which is essential for Comfort\'s protection.
What was the serial-Ethernet software that you used with main lobby?
In another post I\'m sure others would like to know more about your workings with main lobby, screen shots etc. I know I would. It is one of those peices of SW that I\'ve always wanted to play with but never managed to find the time.

Hi Gary,
I will post some screen shots tonight of Mainlobby.
Mainlobby has a plugin called MlGenericSerial that gives you two way serial feed back.
eg. I have a screen in ML which reports the zone status, and link to each room in the house for lighting, also with feedback.
I designed my screens to look like MCE. You could get quite creative with screen designs.
The pgm I used to redirect serial data is http://www.taltech.com/TALtech_web/products/tcpcom.html. It's quite expensive at $259, but there are others that are cheaper which I will try and report back on.
Thanks

Hi,
Here\'s another SW that redirects RS232 to IP

This one is a lot cheaper and works just as well.
Screen shots as promised

Seems like I am having problems with file attachments
