Which ports do Omada SDN Controller and Omada Discovery Utility use? (above Controller 5.0.15)
How to install the Omada Controller on the Linux system
How to Configure Omada Controller as a Windows Service(above Controller 2.5.4)
How to Configure Omada Controller as a Windows Service(above Controller 4.1.5)
It's working now - fingers x'd:
First problem appears to be the start.bat file:
java -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=60 ... -cp "%~dp0..\lib\*" com.tplink.omada.start.OmadaMain start
Added a w to java... forcing it to use the "non-window" or "console" java run time
javaw -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=60 ... -cp "%~dp0..\lib\*" com.tplink.omada.start.OmadaMain start
Then I added an entry to the "path" environment variable:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_301\bin\
Pointing it to the 64bit java run time
Lastly, I moved the new entry for "path" to the top - so it finds that first - hopefully I won't have broken anything else by doing that.
Checked it restarts and rediscovers normally
Checked it restarts and rediscovers when power is switched off and back on
Thanks for your help
