mac address problems

[saurus]

I made the mistake and changed the mac address on my ethernet module and I can't get it to reset. I removed the power supply and ethernet cable of the module. I even disconnected the usb portion of the ethernet module and it still shows the same mac address I put in and saved. I can not access the ethernet module anymore. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

The Ethernet module don't have an unique MAC address, you can change it as you prefer.
To find the old MAC Address I think you have to check on the router.

Well, then for some reason when I try to access my ip address to log into the aquatronica it will not work. It only works when I put in the 192.168.1.--- address and I am on my network. Maybe I have an incorrect setting.

That's a router setting.

You need to open up port 80 INBOUND (WHY not 443 is another issue... AHEM!). Re-direct it to the IP of your AT Ethernet Module... Not sure if they call that NATing or just a redirect.

Robbie can help you if you have further questions...

Quirk I have heard you mention 443 before, whats that about??

443... HTTPS.

SECURE.

80 is straight HTTP...

Oh ok, I never even knew that 443 was the HTTPS port. I just assumed it used the same port 80 but some sort of extra layer of security was initiated by the browers and the server if it was HTTPS. Thanks for the info.
