WADM detects Stations but not Center WAC7000/05 - ??

[nigellu]

After various PC problems now fixed I find that my WADM no longer detects the WAC7000 center which means I cannot manage the music content. It picks up the Stations that I have around the house, but that doesn't help much. The basic troubleshooter can only suggest switching off the firewalls, which is not the problem (I don't think). It doesn't even detect the Center when I hook it up with an Ethernet cable. Does anyone have any suggestion?

I don't know why this happens - I'm having the same issue with my WACS7000. The wireless signal strength indicator shows 4 bars, it will broadcast to other stations but WADM just will not find it!

The only solution I have found is that WADM will find it if the centre is connected directly to the router. This isn't an option the way my system is set up - but it might work for you.

Hi !

Have you tried WACHandler to see if it can see the Center ?
If yes, try starting WADM first and then WACHandler since WACHandler forces the Center to broadcast it's "beacon" more often than WADM.

Tias,

Im afraid not - i tried WACHandler with no joy! Its as if its a software issue because the signal indicator on the centre always has four bars - but WADM or WACHAndler dont find it when its a wired connection. I've tried two different versions of the software to see if that fixed it, but without success.

Hi !

I strongly doubt that it's a software issue, both WADM and WACHandler works 100% fine with WAC7000 devices.
Looks like a configuration matter to me.
If you have the possibility, please try with another PC.
And try with disabling any Firewall(s) running in your PC. Firewalls in the PC are the most common problem when it's about connection issues between WACHandler/WADM and a WACS devices.

Cheers !

I've tried with WACHandler, WADM, wired, wireless, on laptop & PC - which incidentally also have two different operating systems - and also with/without firewall.

WADM worked fine with my WAC3500 until it wouldnt switch on - so it has purely arisen when connecting to this "new" WACS7000 i bought. Although the WACS7000 will happily broadcast to stations, so why doesnt it connect to the network?
