IntelliTouch i-Link Protocol Interface Adapter User’s Guide

Start-up Sequence

Each time the IntelliTouch i-Link adapter is powered up a start-up initialization
sequence is sent to the Home Automation system via the RS-232 port and the
current command characters display. These special command characters are also
user definable and may differ from the default characters show below. The
default command character set displays after a start-up sequence. To display these
characters power down/up or reset the IntelliTouch i-Link adapter. For the RST (reset)
command information, see page 4.

Acquiring System Data

!READY

The IntelliTouch system implements an addressing method upon power
up. For most systems the initialization is automatic. The IntelliTouch i-Link
adapter will automatically lock on to the address within two minutes after
power is applied.

Note: 

If there is an IntelliTouch MobileTouch

®

 wireless control panel installed,

the MobileTouch Transceiver

screw terminal connector needs to be removed

from the Transceiver circuit board before the IntelliTouch i-Link adapter
initialization sequence. Refer to Start-up with MobileTouch Control Panel, see
page 25 for details.
