5.2.1.5Restore ISY

Selecting this menu option allows the user to locate and select the ISY's backup
configuration file. Upon completion, this operation reboots ISY and closes your browser.
This option only restores the settings and has no impact on the underlying INSTEON
devices and their configurations. If you wish to restore INSTEON device configurations,
links, and settings please follow up this operation with Restore Devices menu option upon
ISY reboot.

5.2.1.6Restore Devices

Selecting this menu option starts the ISY to use the current configurations settings stored
within ISY and reprograms all the INSTEON devices based on them. Upon completion, this
operation reboots ISY and closes Admin Console. This operation is most useful when a PLM
is replaced or if INSTEON devices and their logical representations on ISY are out of synch.
This scenario might happen if INSTEON devices are manually linked without using ISY's
GUI. Please follow the instructions below:
• If you are replacing a PLM:
o Please make sure you reboot ISY with the new PLM before doing anything
else
o Click on File | Restore ISY and restore a good backup. If you are replacing a
defective PLM, choose a backup from right before the PLM died. This is
a very important step
o Once ISY reboots, wait for the query to complete
• If you have PRO series, click on the Battery icon on the top right corner of the tool
bar. This prevents ISY from trying to restore battery operated devices since they are
sleeping and will not respond
• Please make sure ISY is in Ready state
• Click on File | Restore Devices - this will take a long while
• In case ISY cannot communicate (or decides not to if an RF device/PRO Series)
during the process, you will have a series of nodes with green 1011 icons in the
device tree. For each one of those nodes:
o If an RF device, ensure that the device is in Programming mode
o Right mouse click | Write pending updates or Write updates to device...
o For some newer INSTEON devices, you might have to repeat this step a
couple of times since some devices may not go into linking mode
