Hard Reset - Can't locate BCS anywhere
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2016 4:53 pm
Hello,
I have used my BCS-460 for years now had little problem finding it in my network and have had my router assign a static IP.
Last week I successfully created a port forward and a Dynamic DHS so I could access the BCS out of my network. It worked well, but I wanted to add a simple password. I accessed the BCS through a web browser and clicked the box to enable a password sign in. I had just updated the password. After this the password authentication was enabled, but I would not able to sign into it. I think the login was just "admin" but I could not login from several devices. I restarted the BCS and I could still not sign in.
So I attempted to do a hard reset, but I had forgot that different times of holding the reset did different things. I don't remember how long I held it, but I would guess between 15-25 seconds. After this, I would unable to find the BCS on my network.
The most reliable way I found my BCS in the past was signing into my router and looking for its MAC address in the list of clients. I can't find it. I hard reset the router many times in all the time amounts, but could not find the BCS. I downloaded both BCS finder tools and could not locate it. I do not have the 4.0 firmware. I connected a computer directly to the BCS and could not access it.
Is my BCS dead?
The first time I reset the BCS I used a metal pin, did this fry it?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
