Powerline Interface – Ethernet
PIM-IP
FUNCTION
The Powerline Interface Module – Ethernet is a Powerline
Interface Module much like our PIM-R RS-232 version that
contains an IP Web server. This all-in-one device makes it
easy to enable UPStart Configuration Software or other IP
based device to communicate with a UPB network and
devices via a hardwired or wireless LAN network or even
over the internet.
The PIM-IP is simple to install – just plug it in to
any standard 120VAC wall outlet and connect a CAT-5 cable
between it and a network. The long distance capability of a
network and internet makes it possible to locate the PIM-IP
virtually anywhere on site. With standard port forwarding
the PIM-IP can even be securely accessed from outside the
local network for remote programming or the use of smart
phones or tablets with the appropriate application. No
additional wiring is required and no radio frequency signals
are used for communication.

INSTALLATION
The PIM-IP is designed for indoor use with a router or hub connected to a

1. Connect an Ethernet cable (sold separately) between the PIM's RJ45
connector and any open port of the router, hub or network.
2. Plug the PIM-IP into any grounded wall outlet. The Status LED on the
front of the unit should start blinking and then stay solid blue.
3. The two Network LED's on the RJ45 connector should be solid orange
and blinking green.

CONFIGURATION
The PIM-IP is the perfect interface device for use with PCS' UPStart
Configuration Software. UPStart allows you to easily configure all of your
PulseWorx System devices. The UPStart User's Guide explains how to
configure your system using UPStart. (www.pcslighting.com)
To use the PIM-IP with UPStart select Tools Powerline Interface
Connection to bring up the UPB Interface Setup dialog.
Select the "PIM-IP" as the Interface and then press the "RUN PIM-IP
Discovery Program" button. UPStart will automatically run a Device
Discovery application to help locate the PIM-IP on your network. NOTE: The
PIM-IP is shipped in DHCP mode.
If the PIM-IP does not show up in the window, Press "Refresh View" until it
finds the PIM-IP. If it doesn't then something is wrong with the network or
possibly the PIM-IP.
