INSTEON/X10 Power line Modem
Installation
1) Using a standard CAT5(e), straight-through, patch cable, connect one end
into the RJ-45 connector on the bottom of your EZIComm.
2) Plug the other end of the patch cable into the “PLM” port on your EZIO8SA
3) Plug your EZIComm directly into an A/C outlet, preferably away from any
low voltage transformers, surge protectors, or other line-noise causing devices.
Note
: The EZIComm will not power the EZIO8SA, so an external power supply for the
EZIO8SA will be required.
Connecting to a Computer
Connecting to an EZIO8SA
(RS-232 only)
1) Using the serial to RJ-45 connector cable, plug the RJ-45 connector into the
bottom of your EZIComm and the DB9 connector into a compatible serial port
on your computer.
Note
: Newer computers may not have a serial port, so you’ll need a USB to serial adaptor.
2) Plug your EZIComm directly into an A/C outlet, preferably away from
any low voltage transformers, surge protectors, or other line-noise
causing devices.
The EZIComm is a serial based interface that communicates
via RS-232 (upgradeable to RS-485) with your INSTEON and
X10 network. The EZIComm is a DualBand PLM comparable to
SmartLabs model #2413S.
With the EZIComm, you’ll be able to power automation hardware
like the EZIO8SA and limit the need for an external power supply.
There are various software packages that interface with the
EZIComm to communicate with an INSTEON and X10 network.
