I followed the procedure I described in my original post and it worked.
The only other step that was required was reentering the MAC address into the network configuration using MFDeploy. The MAC address is on the EMX module that is on the bottom of the Spider mainboard.
Of course, I deleted and put back all the GHI references in my projects.
Those switches are really small. I did have to double check they were fully engaged with slight magnification, as I didn’t feel a noticeable click when moving them, if that makes any sense. issue

@ architect - looks like that isn’t your issue from Gus’ post.
