| − | My MiCasaVerde setup experience.

| | | | |
| − | I already have my network setup with a firewall and wireless router. I read the instructions and it specified that the device will auto detect your network and adjust it's settings. It did this just fine but it didn't turn on the wireless. I couldn't access the device using the instructions in the package which is why I'm writing this setup synopsis.

| − | How I accessed my device:
| |
| − | I ran an IP scan and recorded all the live IPs. I then connected the device and ran it again and saw which was the new IP.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I put that IP into the browser and was able to access and configure the device. After doing this I thought that it might be easier to have created a MAC address/IP reservation on my router for the device. Even plugging directly into the device didn't help, findvera.com was not able to locate the device even though I was getting a good IP and internet access.

| |
| − | Are there firewall rules that need to be put into place first or does the device need to be the DNS server?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Anyone else have issues setting up the device initially?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, is the findvera.com service up and running yet? On the findvera tab all I get is instructions and this in red at the bottom:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | FindVera remote server not assigned.

| − | This is a bit dis-heartening to me. I am awaiting the arrival of my Vera, but I also have a network already set up with a static internet IP and static local IPs for most of my devices.

| |
| − | I tried to play with the test-vera a little today as well, but the response time is excruciatingly slow, and I was never able to get the camera(s?) to display any live images, though I did find some archived pictures. Is this response time going to be what can be expected, I mean it was the middle of the night so I don't imagine it was due to unexpectedly high server loads.

| − | I am very excited to get my Vera and get it up and running, and will report on the entire process.
