(included) to connect between your ISY and the PLM. WARNING: DO NOT use this port to connect to an Ethernet router or switch. Port B (ISY-99i Series ONLY) is a 9-pin female RS-232 serial port used for initial configuration for users without a DHCP-enabled network, or for advanced troubleshooting. - Page 9 NOTE: Your ISY may also include an externally accessible SD card slot. Please DO NOT remove the SD card while the ISY is running. ISY’s without an external SD slot must be opened in order to replace the SD card. For instructions on replacing your SD card, please see Appendix C: Replacing / Upgrading Your SD Card.

Page 10: Installation
2 Installation Installation of the ISY is completed in several easy steps. The following instructions assume that you are installing the ISY on a DHCP-enabled network (true in the vast majority of cases) and are using a Windows-based PC to connect to the ISY. If you do not have a router or other DHCP-enabled network to plug the ISY into and plan on using a direct connection to a PC, or if you are using an OS other than Windows, please see our online Wiki for more advanced installation instructions:... - Page 11 Web Browser: Please be sure your PC is running a Java-enabled web browser, such as Internet Explorer or FireFox. As shipped from the factory, the ISY is configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP. There are a few easy ways to connect to your ISY and find its local URL: Option1 (ISY-994i Series ONLY): In most cases, the quickest and easiest way to connect to the ISY for the first time on a Windows PC is to open a web browser and type in the following URL:...

Page 12: Figure 3 Login Window
Once you launch the Administrative Console, you will be presented with a login window asking you to authenticate to your ISY. The default login information is: Username: admin Password: admin Figure 3 Login Window To find your ISY’s login URL, click the HELP -> ABOUT pull down menu: Figure 4 Help/About Menu Then look for the address listed after “My URL.”... -
Page 13: The Html Interface
When using DHCP, in some cases your ISY may receive a new IP address from your router (or other DHCP server). If this happens, you may not be able to use the old address to connect to your ISY. To find out your ISY’s new address, simply double-click your My Lighting icon or visit the following URL to automatically find the ISY (and its new address) on your network: http://isy.universal-devices.com/99i... -

Page 16: Launching The Administrative Console
Install Admin Console – This button installs a local copy of the Admin Console applet to your system, creating a desktop icon so you can launch the Admin Console quickly and easily. Finally, the Admin Console tab launches the ISY’s Administrative Console, which does require Java. -
Page 17: The Administrative Console
3 The Administrative Console The Administrative Console is divided into several tabs, each used to configure different aspects of your ISY. 3.1 Basic Configuration Before getting started, it’s important to configure a few basic things on the ISY. 3.1.1 Setting the User ID and Password For security reasons, please change the default username and password used to connect to your ISY. -
Page 18: Keyboard Navigation
Figure 8 Setting the Clock Please be sure to check the Daylight Saving option if applicable in your area. Also feel free to check and configure the NTP Server option if your ISY is able to access the internet. The ISY will periodically sync its clock with the specified NTP server to ensure accurate time. -
Page 19: Themes
3.1.4 Themes You can choose between several different predefined color schemes to suit your preference. To select a different theme click the File pull-down menu, then Themes, then Theme Colors and choose your scheme. Please note that the Administrative Console must be closed and re-opened for your theme change to take effect. -
Page 20: The Main Tab
3.2 The Main Tab The Main tab is where you can add, configure, and manage your INSTEON devices. Figure 11 The Main Tab The left-hand pane displays a hierarchy of folders, devices, and scenes contained within your ISY. The right-hand pane displays detailed information on what you have selected on the left. -
Page 21: Figure 12 The Link Management Menu
Figure 12 The Link Management Menu Start Linking. The majority of INSTEON devices can be added using this method. Once this option is selected, simply go to each INSTEON device installed and hold the SET button for 3-5 seconds. The ISY will then see each device, and add it to the device list. As you hold the SET button on each device, you will see the device added to the left-hand pane. - Page 22 Remove Existing Links. This option will add the device to the ISY, and also remove any existing links in the device. This is the default and the best option to choose if you would like a clean start, or if it is a brand new device. Add Devices Found in Links and Remove Existing Links.

Page 23: Adjusting Settings On Insteon Devices
Figure 14 New INSTEON/A10/X10 Screen 3.2.2 Adjusting Settings on INSTEON Devices Some INSTEON devices have settings that can be changed through the ISY. For example, dimmable devices have On Levels and Ramp Rates that can be adjusted. On Levels are the brightness levels at which a device is turned on when pressed (25%, 75%, etc.). -
Page 24: Figure 15 File/Automatic Writes Menu
To toggle this option, click the FILE menu: Figure 15 File/Automatic Writes Menu Automatic Writes to Devices (PRO Series ONLY). When this option is on, changes are written automatically to devices. Toggle this option off to disable automatic writes. When toggled back on, all pending changes will be sent to devices. -
Page 25: Creating Insteon Scenes
To write all pending changes for a single device (without turning Automatic Writes back on), simply right-click the device and choose Write Updates to Device: Figure 17 Write Updates to Device 3.2.3 Creating INSTEON Scenes Scenes are collections of INSTEON devices that react to and with one another in various ways. -
Page 26: Figure 18 New Scene Screen
To create a Scene, simply click the New Scene option under the Link Management pull- down menu, or click the New Scene button on the ISY’s toolbar. Figure 18 New Scene Screen Name the Scene accordingly, click OK, and your scene will appear in the left-hand pane. To add devices to a scene, simply right-click a device, choose Add To Scene, and choose the appropriate Scene. -
Page 27: Figure 20 Cross-Linking
One example of a scene might be a group of 2 devices that control the same light – typically called a “virtual 3-way circuit”. For example, you might have 2 switches in your kitchen that you’d like to control your kitchen table light. One switch is physically attached to the kitchen table light, but you’d like the other switch to control it as well. -
Page 28: Organizing Insteon Devices And Scenes
To set values when the ISY itself is the controller (for example when controlled through the Administrative Console or through ISY Programs), click the scene itself on the left-hand pane. In the example below, when the highlighted controller is pressed the TheaterControls1A- Table device will turn on to 60% and the TheaterMain1 and TheaterMain2 devices will turn off. -

Momentary: A - The relay will close momentary. If it is Linked while On it will respond to On. If it is Linked while Off it will respond to Off. Momentary: Look at Sensor - If the sensor is On the relay will close momentarily when an On command is received. - Page 86 Since the Motion Sensor is a battery-saving RF device, you must put the device into linking mode to add it to the ISY (and make any changes to the device, such as adding/removing from scenes). Please follow the on-screen instructions to put the Motion Sensor into linking mode when prompted (hold SET button for 5 seconds).
- Page 87 There is a Program Action available to synchronize the Thermostat time with that of the ISY. Thermostat Adapter Older INSTEON Thermostat Adapters cannot act as controllers, thus they do not notify the ISY of any state changes. To get the most current information from your thermostat, we recommend using an ISY Program to poll the device periodically.
