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:

2.1 Hardware Installation

Installation of the ISY hardware is completed in several easy steps:
1. Plug your ISY into your home network. Simply plug one end of an included Ethernet
cable into the ISY's Network jack. Plug the other end of the cable into your router or
network switch/hub.
2. Plug your ISY into the INSTEON PLM. Connect one end of the included Ethernet cable
and attach it to Port A on the ISY. The other end of the cable plugs into your INSTEON
PLM.
3. Apply power to the PLM and ISY by plugging it into a standard power outlet. Do not
plug the PLM into a UPS or surge protector of any kind. If possible, avoid plugging the
PLM into an outlet on the same circuit as other electronic devices to ensure optimal
communications with your INSTEON devices. For information on troubleshooting
INSTEON communication issues, and tips on creating a reliable INSTEON network, see
Appendix H: Troubleshooting INSTEON Communication Issues.
Once power is supplied to your ISY, it will automatically boot up. The RX, TX, and Mem
LEDs may flash briefly, and the PWR LED should be on steady. The two small green LEDs
on the ISY's Network jack should be on (indicating a good network connection) and may
flash (indicating network activity).

2.2 Connecting to the ISY from a Local PC

There are several requirements for connecting to your ISY from a PC on your network:
