Installing AccessLinc

AccessLinc Interfaces can be easily installed in any home with conventional 3-prong

AC outlets.

• When a single AccessLinc is installed, it functions independently by simply pro-

viding a bridge between wireless and powerline devices.

• When two units are used and installed on different electrical phases, the

AccessLinc Interfaces will provide signal bridging.

AccessLinc uses its Status LED to help you find the ideal outlet so that the inter-

faces communicate between each other and provide signal bridging on the AC pow-

erline. Please see "Tips for Using AccessLinc" on page 6 for hints to make your

installation more successful.

Single Unit Installation

1. Plug in the AccessLinc Interface into an unswitched outlet

2. The Status LED on the side will illuminate steady

3. Verify operation by sending some powerline or wireless Insteon signals; the

Status LED will briefly flicker

Two-Unit Installation and Establishing a Wireless Link

Install the first AccessLinc

1. Locate an unswitched outlet on one side of the house and plug in the first

AccessLinc Interface

2. The Status LED on the side will illuminate steady

3. Tap the SET button, the Status LED will begin to blink

Install the second unit

4. Locate an unswitched outlet on the other side of the house and plug in the sec-

ond AccessLinc Interface

5. The Status LED on the side will illuminate steady

6. Tap the SET button and observe the Status LED

A. If the LED blinks then goes steady on - OK (the two modules are on opposite

phases and can talk to each other)

B If LED blinks slowly, the two interfaces are within wireless range of each other,

but on the same phase. Try moving the first or second unit to another outlet.

C. If LED is blinking rapidly, the two interfaces are not communicating. Move the

first or second unit physically closer to the other and retest.
