About Dual-Band Access Point Congratulations on purchasing the INSTEON Dual-Band Access Point. Installing at least two Access Points in your INSTEON-compatible home will improve INSTEON signal strength and network coverage throughout your home and provide an interface between wireless-only INSTEON devices and your overall INSTEON network. Access Points also tie together your dual-band mesh INSTEON network by transmitting INSTEON signals across radio-frequency to bridge your home’s power line wiring phases.
What’s in the Box? - Dual-Band Access Point Quick Start Guide Preparing to Install Access Point CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference. This product is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. Use indoors only.
Installing the Second Access Point Once you install the first Access Point, you will have about 9 minutes to perform these steps before the first Access Point’s setup mode times out. If the first Access Point times out, simply follow the steps above to put it back into setup mode. 1) Plug second Access Point into another unswitched outlet, preferably one located on the other side of your home. Watch the LED on the second Access Point. If the LED is blinking green, proceed to step 3.
Understanding INSTEON Reliability INSTEON messages travel throughout the home via powerline (the existing house wiring) or wirelessly via RF using Access Points or other dual-band INSTEON products. As the messages make their way to the INSTEON responders, they are picked up and retransmitted by all other INSTEON devices along the way. This method of communicating is called a mesh network because every device becomes a signal repeater. Plus, every INSTEON device confirms that it has received a command.
