PLM 2413S connection

[raptor]

My PLM 2412s just failed so I ordered a PLM 2413S as the 2412 is no longer available. My 2412 was connected to my ISY via CAT5 cable. The new 2413S came with a cable that is RJ45 on one end and serial connector the other end. Should this be connected with the serial on the back of the ISY or should I connect the same way the 2412 was with just a CAT5 cable. Also since this is a replacement and not a new install is there a specific way to swap it and not lose any connection info.

If your using the ISY994 then use the CAT5 cable between the ISY and the PLM.

 

Be sure to exactly follow the PLM replacement procedures. found here

 

Do not do a "delete modem"

The 2413S PLM does not supply power to the ISY as did the 2412S PLM, so you'll need an external power supply. USB power supplies provide the correct voltage (5VDC).

I do have a power supply from and old router that is 5V 1 Amp would this work?

Yes, that will be OK.

Everything thing is back up and running. Seems to operate as it should. Thanks for the help.
