User Manual

• Enter MAC address as both the userid and password at login prompt
• Wait 45 seconds (or until you see "Please connect PLM message")
• Plug PLM back in
• Log in again using admin/admin
Note: There is a timeout of 5 minutes for the PLM to get plugged back in. If timed out, the userid
and password are not reset.
4.1.3 Backup ISY
Selecting this menu saves the entire ISY configuration in a file. The user will be prompted to
select or type the storage location and name the configuration file. Note the location and file
name for future use.
The following system information will be saved to this file:
i. Time Zone, Latitude, and Longitude
ii. Notification recipients
iii. Programs
iv. INSTEON devices information and scene memberships
v. INSTEON devices links
vi. Scenes information
4.1.4 Restore ISY
Selecting this menu option allows the user to locate and select the ISY’s backup configuration file
(see 4.1.3). Upon completion, this operation reboots ISY and closes your browser.
This option only restores the settings and has no impact on the underlying INSTEON devices and
their configurations. If you wish to restore INSTEON device configurations, links, and settings
please follow up this operation with Restore Devices menu option (see 4.1.5) upon ISY reboot.
4.1.5 Restore Devices
Selecting this menu option starts the ISY to use the current configurations settings stored within
ISY, and reprograms all the INSTEON devices based on them. Upon completion, this operation
reboots ISY and closes your browser.
This operation is most useful if INSTEON devices and their logical representations on ISY are out
of synch. This scenario might happen if INSTEON devices are manually linked without using
ISY’s GUI.
4.1.6 Restore Modem (PLM)
This operation is most useful when you need to replace a defective PLM and the ISY is rebooted
with a new PLM.
When the communication links were established via the Link Management Menu, the PLM and
INSTEON devices adds each device addresses it is linked to, in its own link table.
The ISY also reads and stores the PLM’s address at boot up. The ISY stores all the
configurations settings of the lighting network. If you are replacing a PLM the ISY will have the
old PLM address link stored in it.
