Quick Start Guide

Connecting INSTEON and X10 Power Line Interfaces
There are three basic steps needed when connecting a INSTEON interface. This part of
the documentation is best viewed on the website for the most current information:
1. Install the FTDI VCP Drivers - depending on your interface, you’ll need to install the
correct Mac OS X driver software.
2. Connecting the Interface - plug your interface (or adaptor) into a USB port on your
computer and directly into a power outlet. Power strips have electronics that can
degrade INSTEON signal quality, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) can also
cause problems. Note INSTEON filters can help avoid signal problems.
3. Configuring and Enable Indigo to use Your Interface - choose the
Interfaces→INSTEON/X10 Power Line→Enable and Configure... menu items to
enable and define the required settings to have Indigo start using the interface.
