Copy KeypadLinc

[cayz]

All,

 

Simple question, did the search, didn't find an answer, so I figured I would ask.

 

I have a Keypadlinc that is dying (buzzing / arcing on about 1/3 of the keypresses), but it is still "working".

I have a replacement unit on its way from Amazon by Tuesday.

I have an ISY 994i Pro that controls the whole system.

 

Assuming that I physicaly pull the old unit out & wire the new unit in, how do I tell the ISY that the new SN replaces the old SN, and do all the reprogramming of the keys, etc.?

 

I'd rather sit in front of the computer for 30 minutes vs standing in the hallway for 10 minutes, if that makes any difference.

Physically replace the old KPL with the new one.  Add the new KPL to the ISY using a dummy name.   Right click on the old KPL primary node (ISY will not physically communicate with old KPL).  Select Replace 'oldKPLname' with .... which will list the KPLs with the same number of buttons which will include the new KPL under the dummy name.   Select the new KPL.   The new KPL will be configured as the old KPL, the new KPL dummy name will be changed to the old KPL name so Programs and Scenes will not have to be changed.  When the process completes the Admin Console will close so that two KPLs with the same name will not appear.
