INSTEON is a simple, reliable, and affordable breakthrough in home control. Simple, because Plug-n- Tap™ setup is a breeze, and there are no wires to add – INSTEON uses existing powerline wiring as well as radio-frequency for communication. Reliable, because every INSTEON device is a two-way repeater.
Prior to setting up and using other INSTEON devices, you should properly install at least two Access Point Modules, so that INSTEON messages can travel everywhere in your home. Access Point Modules (when at least two are properly installed) couple together the two separate powerline circuits, known as powerline phases, which most homes are wired with.
INSTEON-compatible Access Point User’s Guide Install the Access Point 1. Plug the First Access Point into a convenient wall outlet. Don’t use an outlet controlled by a switch, because if the switch is inadvertently turned off, Access Point won’t have power. The white Status LED on the side will illuminate steadily, indicating that Access Point is working.
Installing Additional Access Point Modules You can add additional Access Point Modules to your INSTEON network to extend its coverage and maximize performance. Simply choose the Access Point that you previously installed as the First Access Point and follow the steps above to confirm that new Access Point Modules are communicating with your existing Access Point Modules.
INSTEON device helps to support the overall network. To further ensure reliability, every INSTEON device confirms that it has received a command. If an INSTEON Controller does not receive this confirmation, it will automatically retransmit the command up to five times.
If you have any of these products and the BoosterLinc feature is turned on, please consult your User’s Guide or call 866-243-8018 for help with turning it off. You may then wish to install newer INSTEON BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, which SmartLabs can help you with.
