WIU connection problem

stew vinnelsstew vinnelsOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Could anyone please point me in the right direction to connect my NIB WIU's to my 12 year old TIU's both of which have been updated with 6.1  software

I've got the MTH DCS Premium app n my i-Phone and followed the following instructions from the MTH WI-FI Network Mode in the included Quick Start Guide:

1. attached the antenna,

2.  set the selector switch to MTH

3.  connected the WIU to the TIU with a serial port to USB connector

4.  turned power on to the TIU's and the red lights blink as always (1 blink for TIU #1 and 2 blinks for TIU #2)

5.   connected power to the WIU and waited several minutes - only the green power lights comes on

Nothing else comes on and no sign of the MTH DCS network

My i-phone finds my home network just fine but not the hoped for MTH DCS network!

Would the fsct that I've been running both TIU's in Super mode be causing this problem? 

Appreciate any ideas to get my MTH network up and running

Stew, I did a quick test of my WIU.  I disconnected the TIU from the WIU and the WIU started with no problem and I was able to access the MTH WI-FI - of course there was no TIU connected so none of the functions were there, but the WiFi network was found by my IPad and working.  So I suspect your problem is not the TIU connection.   I reconnected the TIU and started again - when you start up your system, do you get flashing on the LAN and WPS lights as it goes through the process?  Then, when it is fully started, the green power light is on and both the WI-FI and TIU lights are on.  At this point, I suspect that you have a faulty unit if none of those lights flash during startup and nothing but the green light is activated.  Likewise, I suspect it is not your IPhone.

Of course, I will default to those more versed in the electronics side of the WIU.
