How to reset to default network settings on your Vera Controller

By default Vera automatically configures its network, if you connect it to your router it will automatically connect to it's network. If after plugging Vera into your network, you don't see your Vera on cp.mios.com , please follow these steps to fix your networking:

Note: For Vera edge you'll have to replace the 192.168.81.1 IP address with a combination of numbers based on the unit's MAC address. Depending on which firmware version you're on you'll have to set it up like below:

MAC address: D4:21:22:FC:BC:9D

a. on firmware version 7.0.12.1 and older (1.7.1598 or older) the IP address Vera Edge can be accessed on will be generated using the last 4 digits in the mac address. For the example above it would be: 192.168.12.29

b. on firmware version newer than 7.0.12.1 (above 1.7.1598) the IP address Vera Edge can be accessed on will be generated using the last 4 characters of the mac address, where the letters are converted to numbers based on their order of the alphabet. For the example above it would be 192.168.23.94

This would mean that the PC should have an IP address in the same class as the unit, meaning 192.168.12.100 (for example) for case a. or 192.168.23.100 (for example) for case b.
