Re: Genkey dont work

I don't think you did what the instructions say. From your video, your showing that you connected to port 8085 (the debug port). You have to telnet to port 8080.

Oh boy. I appreciate documenting your pain and suffering.

What "instructions" are you talking about?

Re: Genkey dont work

The instructions says "From a computer, run your telnet application, using the IP address found in step 1 and port number 8080. For example, if the IP address were 192.168.1.45, you would type:

telnet  192.168.1.45  8080"
I did that in the video
I don't see any serial number

Re: Genkey dont work

You did `telnet 8080` which won't work because of missing IP - and then you did `telnet 192.168.1.73 8085` which did not work because of wrong port. Need to get both right.
