Hello, I have a new (just out of the box from SMARTHOME) ISY 994i Pro/IR and PLM 2413S and have a situation where all five status lights (including the error light) are on/steady. The user's manual doesn't reference such a case, and various recycling of the router, ISY, and PLM don't seem to fix the situation. As a last resort, I also did the factory reset, and that didn't change anything either. Wiring between devices should be good, as I have used an ISY 99i in the past without any trouble. When I try to connect to the ISY, I can't get to the login screen. I have the latest JAVA, but when the Universal Devices Administrative Console launches I get two error dialogue boxes instead of the login box: -- XML Parse Error http://192.168.0.4:53196/0/d.xml -- Socket Open Failed java.net.ConnectException: Connection Refused: no further information I assume the connection errors are the result of the ISY not properly initalizing, but wouldn't rule out two separate problems. Any thoughts/advice would be most appreciated... Or is my box DOA and in need of returning the same day it arrived? Thanks. Scott.

Hello, I've been using INSTEON devices for a while now (manual control and MobiLink HD on iPhone/iPad) and am just beginning my foray into the ISY world. My INSTEON starter kit came with a PLM (2412N) so I didn't buy a PLM with my ISY 99i, but I now see that I am supposed to have an "S" model (Serial) PLM vice the "N" model PLM I already have. Before I spend the money to replace PLMs, I was hoping to confirm that the Serial PLM is required and not just preferred. If the "N" model is compatible, are there any special tricks to getting the ISY to talk to the PLM? Thanks for any assistance. r/ Scott.
