[Paul Doyle]

using a old dell windows system for the serial port on back it was stuck on the page saying loading database 

 i have system restored back to earlier point a will give it a go and i appreciate your time 

[GalaxyGuy]

The default is 'manager' and 'password'.   If you open up the comms manager in the system tray and select the com port you have set up, ensure that com port has the correct settings for your panel.  If your panel is at default, it will be direct at 9600 baud.  If you've modified the internal RS232 speed, then you need to match the settings you have set.

Also, the database is a MSSQL, so RSS relies on the db server being up and running.

Did a pop-up box saying something like http://localhost come up ?  If it does, you need to change the word localhost to 127.0.0.1

 

Some Windows installs seem to have issues with RSS. It will not work if MSSQLSERVER has been installed previously.

I got a new dell today driving me nuts I no its something stupid i will start it over again 

 

i am on the main screen com 5 galaxy icon top half box below server uknown listening

[Paul Doyle]

cannot connect to comms server http:127.0.01:8888/disco/?handler =common service

once again thanks 

[GalaxyGuy]

Make sure you get the loopback IP address correct it's.  http:127.0.0.1:8888/disco/?handler =common service

 

Not sure if you just had a typo above missing a dot.    It seems newer versions of Windows are not resolving localhost back to the loopback address and RSS requires that.

I've not gone back to older versions to check, but did start seeing it in W10.
