Title: Cannot Add New Classic 150
Post by: smanners on May 12, 2016, 10:54:07 PM
Hi Guys,

I recently added a seconds classic 150 to my setup. The original is happily posting data to mymidnite2. However when I try to add my new device by providing MAC Address and Device ID I keep getting a server error message popup. I haver tried this on IE and Google Chrome browsers. Any ideas as to what is going wrong?

Cheers

Your Classic may be too new to be in the database. Try PMing  Andrew to get you fixed up.

WB,

The United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867.......we didn't write our constitution until 1959!

Little known fact.....Russia ran Alaska schools after U.S. bought Alaska until the Russian Revolution in 1915.   LOL!

I did a Toast Masters course many years ago, there where 3 subjects that we where not allowed to talk about. Religion, sex and politics, I have found this to good way to avoid getting into a fight.  ;)

BioPower,

I certainly didn't mean anything political about it....I was born in the "Outback" of Alaska.....very definitely not political......we just didn't have government! We had no school system!  Russia continued to support the Russian communities of Alaska.  Hard to conceive today.

To this day the Russian Orthodox Church has a huge presence among our native communities, far more so than any western church.

You must have Firmware version 2096 for it to work if you have not done the update already.

The first thing I did before I even installed them was a firmware update and master reset.

From MyMidnite FAQ - Try pinging mymidnite2 and see what times you get.

Slow networks. The Classic does not require a high-bandwidth network connection; however, it does require a fairly low-latency one. By doing a speed test, you should be able to check the ping speed. If this is much greater than 100ms or so then you might have trouble accessing MyMidNite.

Looks like you have a lot of latency in you connect. Midnite says you may have problems if it is over 100ms which yours is. Not sure why large latencies are a problem Andrew will have to explain that one. But you also have a slow up and download speed which they claim you don't need a high speed network. You could be at the max distance from you local telephone office which makes DSL slow.
