Installation help for ISY-99i Pro

[Teken]

Can someone post up a picture of what connectors goes where for this unit. Unless I am missing the obvious or a part is missing I can't see how this all gets connected together.

 

Out of the box the serial plm has the serial cable connector on one end of the cable, on the other there is a standard RJ45 plug. I can see that only a few wires have been used in this plug. It also came with a power adapter to supply power to the ISY as this is a dual band 2412S PLM.

 

Next . . .

 

In the box that the ISY-99i Pro came in has the following:

 

1. The main unit (ISY-99i Pro)

 

2. Serial cable, one side is the male the other is the female side.

 

3. Two standard RJ45 Ethernet cables.

 

So how does this all get connected to my router > ISY > PLM?

 

Please upload a picture of the physical set up so I can see as to how its installed. Because right now, unless there is a gender male / female adapter the cable that came with the plm will NOT fit in the back of the ISY!

 

If its simply just installing BOTH RJ45 cables, one to the router, and the other to the PLM, then all is well . . .

 

I don't want to smoke this brand new box I just got in the mail!

Can't (to lazy) do picture.

 

For my hookup....RJ45 cable goes between PLM and ISY-99 (into port A). Other RJ45 cable goes between ISY (network) and router. Depending on version of PLM, you may also need a power supply for your ISY. I don't use the serial cable. I understand that this provides direct connection to computer if needed.

 

I found this to be consistent with instructions:

OK, this makes more sense to me now. I think what confused me is that both units came with a serial cable.

 

The PLM 2413S has a serial end, and the other side has a RJ45 connector which obviously connect to the PLM.

 

The supplied serial cable from UDI, is used to connect to other devices which do not use dhcp etc.

 

So, to be clear: Just use the two supplied *standard RJ45 Ethernet cables* and plug then into the router and the PLM respectively.

Yup. Just take care to use the correct connections on the ISY-99. "network" connection goes to router. "Port A" goes to PLM.

The serial cable in the PLMs box is for users that are connecting to other devices and is part of the PLMs package.

As you know not needed or used with an ISY99i.

Thank you both . . . I thought I was completely retarded here. Problem was referring to the manual which kept on referencing the serial cable.

 

I had no clue how this was accomplished with out a gender adapter, also thinking I was missing something from the box!

 

Lastly, because this unit is the newer PLM which does not supply power directly to the ISY-99i Pro I didn't want to zap the module if it was powered over the Ethernet cable.

Yes the 2413S does not have the unregulated +12 volts on the interface connector.

 

The 2412S did.

 

Best to verify as you did.
