FlashPAP and OSCAR

[PaulaO2]

Is Home (space) Port the name of your home wifi? If so, the file may not be registering there's something after the space. OR it sees it, doesn't know what to do with it, and gets confused.

And no, you don't need to replace the asterisks after each download. Just each time you EDIT it (the config file), you need to replace them.

And try it with the card in the machine, not your laptop.

You don’t have to re-enter the appnetworkkey each time you query the card. You do have to re-enter it into the config file every time you edit the config file.

I had another device assigned to the same IP address I assigned to the flashair card which made the flashair card inaccessible while the other device was connected. Assigning a new address to the other device took care of that issue.

Everybody has provided how I was going to answer you.   As far as I know, the APPSSID has to be one word. You have it as two.  If it is working on other devices, you might try enclosing them in quotation marks.   I not going to hold my breath on that working though.  

I have three questions;

1. Are you absolutely certain nothing else has that IP?  
   
2. What is your DHCP range set to on the router?
   
3.  What is your router's IP?

1. There is nothing else assigned to that IP.
2. The DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 to 198.168.1.254
3. The router IP is 192.168.1.1.

[Crimson Nape]

I usually recommend separating static and dynamic addresses.  Since you're using a 192.168.1.50 for your FlashAir, I'd set your DHCP range to at least something like, 192.168.1.51 to 192.168.1.254.  That way you have 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.50 for static use and .51 to .254 for dynamic leases.  

On my system I use 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.254 for the DHCP.  This allows 154 devices to dynamically connect.  I use the static range for things like long term connected computers, firewall, NAS devices, printers, scanners, managed switches, WiFi access points, and the phone MTA. .  . you get the point.

If you ever need to reboot your router, always reboot the FlashAir after the router is back online.  The FlashAir only broadcasts its network presence during bootup.

Success!

It's all about the proximity of the FlashAir card to the access point. One I moved the card to my machine, it was a snap to complete the configuration and data download through FlashPAP. The card to access point distance is quite limited.

By the way, FlashPAP works just fine with the PR DreamStation. I was hesitant to use it, as Kevin's documentation did not show it would work with the newer PR machines.

I had no problem pointing OSCAR to where the downloaded files were.

Now I need to figure out how to build a batch file to semi-automate the downloads on a daily basis.

Many thanks to those who offered suggestions, and in particular, PaulaO2 and Crimson Nape.

Woot!

[PaulaO2]

Whew! Glad that worked!

So once you put it in your CPAP machine it worked?

After you use it with your PR for a while, let us know how it goes for you.

[PaulaO2]

Hey Red, the scheduled task is not exactly working for me. As the file is transferred, Win10 asks me what I want to use to open it.

The task line says: "C:\Program Files\FlashPAP\FlashPAP.jar" user=PaulaO exit=yes

What am I doing wrong? What can I do to stop it from asking? I just want the program to run then stop.

Oh. Wait. The icon changed to that of my zip program. Huh. Now I gotta figure out how to get it back. If I double click the shortcut, the zip program opens.

[Crimson Nape]

Here is the contents of my file.

Code:

@echo off
java.exe -jar D:\Backup\FlashPAP\FlashPAP.jar user=Red exit=yes

You need to place this file in the FlashPAP directory for it to run. Otherwise, it won't recognize the command line variables and will display, "No Profiles found".

[PaulaO2]

Okay. So I put that text into a file and call it what? What's the extension?

This isn't a line command in the task scheduler? Doesn't look like it.

It tries to run (I reassigned .jar to open with java) and the cmd window pops up for a second. Then nothing.

Dang it to heck.
