'Bricked' WVRC4....

I have a 'bricked' WVRC4. I cant access it via Serial Connection (hyperterminal wont talk with it), or via ethernet connection.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Is it bound for the factory?..
 
Have you talked to Don at BT? He may have some ideas to help you get in. If not they turn it around pretty quickly there if you need to send it back...
 
Tried. They arent answering the phones today, or responding to emails.....


I can connect via serial and access the PGM menu in hyperterminal (phone), but cannot access the web interface programming in HT. Thats what I need to access - to reset the IP.

Ugh.
 
Do you have a copy of the Manual? Here is an excerpt tha may help:

Installing factory (Dial-up only) defaults.
Remove power from the unit. Hold down the “PGM” button down while reinstalling
the power plug. The “PGM” button must be held down for a few seconds after the
power is restored. When the PGM button is released, the PGM LED will blink
twice to show that the defaults were loaded.
CAUTION! If you reinstall factory defaults, the standard factory recorded
voice prompts are not reloaded. The user MUST re-record the voice prompts.
NOTE: The dial-up programming may be accomplished locally using the RS-
232 serial port or via the web using Telnet.
Telnet “DIAL-UP” programming via LAN/WAN.
NOTE: Step by step HyperTerminal “Telnet” setup instructions are available
on-line at www.broadcasttools.com under “Downloads
If you have followed the above HyperTerminal “Telnet” steps, the main WVRC-4
menu will be displayed on the next page.
 
Or this....

The WVRC-4’s RJ-45 (Network) is normally attached to a DSL/Cable router,
Ethernet hub or switch. The supplied “Device Installer” software should be used to
configure the IP address of your WVRC-4. The “Device Installer” version 4.1.0.12
software or greater is also available on our web site: www.broadcasttools.com,
under downloads or on the supplied CD.
NOTE: The Device Installer application requires Microsoft’s .NET
Framework version If you do not already have .NET Framework version 1.1 or
greater (dotnetfx.exe) installed, you can download it from the link: v1.1
1 - Install the “Device Installer” software on the PC used for the WVRC-4 setup.
NOTE: The WVRC-4 applet requires a compatible Java Runtime
Environment Version 6 update 1 or greater). If your browser is lacking Version
6 update 1 or greater, we have provided a link to download the required application:
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp then click on the
“Download Now” button, then follow the prompts.
2 - Connect the supplied BLUE straight-through CAT 5 cable to the RJ-45 connector
on the WVRC-4 labeled (Network) and the other end to your hub or switch.
NOTE: If you are attaching the WVRC-4 directly to your computer, you
MUST use the supplied GRAY Xover CAT 5 cable and set your PC’s IP for
192.168.1.1
3 - Connect the supplied 12 VAC @ 1amp power supply to the WVRC-4’s power
jack labeled 12VAC/1 Amp. Verify that the front panel power LED and left “LINK”
LED above the “NETWORK” RJ-45 are illuminated
 
Thanks Roy.
