Can not login to my Apex after power outage?

[stros]

Hi, we had a short power outage last night due to a thunderstorm. The apex display came back on and my lights ( right now the only thing I am controlling) , but I can not log in to the Apex? I tried to restart from the network setup screen but still times out? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mark

Have you tried unplugging/plugging? If the power out was significanly short it could have left the controller in a mixed state.

I re-powered the unit and checked the ip address. The address changed. Any way to manage this so it will always go to correct ip address(besides static address).

If your DHCP server/router can support reservations, then you can still have the Apex DHCP its address and always get the same one.

It all depends if it is supported in your dhcp server. It is almost easier to just use a static address that is outside the range of addresses that your server is giving out.
