I Wish I Had Thought Of The Saving My Clean Slate Before I Got All Mine Reprogrammed. What Steps Should I Take If I Want To Redo Everything - Universal Devices ISY-994i User Manual

24.1.4 I wish I had thought of the saving my clean slate before I got all mine
reprogrammed. What steps should I take if I want to redo everything?
• It's not really necessary, there is some time/risk involved to do this and is an
alternative to deleting all of your scenes (especially if you have a lot of scenes), but if
you're one of those guys that just has to have it all here are the steps to go thru it all
over again.
- First create a fresh backup original of your latest ISY data, with "Backup ISY"
- Do a "Factory Reset" from the ISY command shell. See Advanced
Configuration Guide for details and risks
- Start Linking, with "Add Devices in links"
- When all of your devices have been added to ISY, run "Restore Devices".
- As you know, this reprograms the devices to match the settings in ISY. If you
have no groups in ISY, basically all but the PLM links will be deleted in the
devices, essentially resetting them.
- Do a "Backup ISY" so you have the backup clean option of starting fresh again
at some point in the future without having to re-link all your devices.
- Bring back the backup original with all your ISY programming, with "Restore
ISY"
- Finally, to relink all your devices, do a "Restore Devices"
24.1.5 I already have the ISY programmed but some of my devices have lost
their way; how can I fix them?
• You will need to crawl (spider) your INSTEON network with the all the ISY data
which can take some time. Launching the "Restore Devices" within the ISY will cause
it go thru all your devices and update all the scene links. This is useful to make sure
all the links are correct. Here is where you will find it: File (pull-down) --> Restore
Devices (menu selection)
24.1.6 What do I do if the ISY locks up?
• All though it does not happen often but when it does, unplug the ISY and let it sit for
a few minutes then plug it back in. On a typical startup the lights do a bunch of
different blinking and then the INSTEON Power Line Modem will flash a bunch as
the ISY updates the status of all the linked devices. See Note Below
24.1.7 Should any of the LED indicators be illuminated solid?
• The ISY-99i has a power indicator. If this is not illuminated the cable between the
ISY and the PLM may be faulty or disconnected or the PLM has lost power. The ISY-
26 does not have a power LED.
