Commissioning an Idratek system - Cortex with QLD dimmer DIN modules and some normal pattress modules which are yet to come online.
Unfortunately someone cut a Cat5 lead, which was connected to the Idratek bux.
System came to a halt, and at the time all the lights went out in the house.
Cortex report a Red dialogue box error which at the time which I believe said communication could not continue until a connection could be established, without a OK or Cancel button.
In haste to get the house (full of tradesmen) operational again, a quick check of IPD looked a bit weird not normal-ish, though I have to say I've not really paid too much attention to the IPD LEDs as it's always just worked, so I did a quick figure out of which bus the cut cat5 was on, pulled the plug, did a power button off on for the IPD, and shutdown and restarted Cortex app (I'd forgotten about dialogue boxes in Cortex doesn't necessarily mean you can't still go back to the Cortex window).
And it was all on it's way again (except for the report these nodes as faulty standard Cortex message).
I've yet to do the research on what exactly happened to have it go out so spectacularly, however anyone else done this (as I'm sure it's not too uncommon)?
Cheers,
Marcus
