2.2 Connecting to the ISY From a Local PC

There are several requirements for connecting to your ISY from a PC on your network:

 Java. Please ensure that the latest edition of Java is installed on your computer.

The latest Java downloads may be found at:

http://www.java.com

After installing Java, please reboot your computer before attempting to connect

to the ISY.

 Web Browser. Please be sure your PC is running a Java-enabled web browser,

such as Internet Explorer or FireFox.

As shipped from the factory, the ISY is configured to obtain an IP address via DHCP.

There are a few easy ways to connect to your ISY and find its local URL:

Option 1. In most cases, the quickest and easiest way to connect to the ISY for the

first time on a Windows PC is to open a web browser and type in the following

URL:

http://isy

The default login information is:

Username: admin

Password: admin

Option 2. You can also double-click the My Lighting icon that you’ll find in your

PC’s My Network Places (in Windows XP) or Network (in Windows 7 or Vista).

The My Lighting icon requires that Windows is configured to discover UpnP

devices on your network. If you do not see a My Lighting icon, look for an option

on the left-hand pane called “Show icons for networked UPnP devices”. Please

click this option to allow Windows to automatically find the ISY on your network.

In Windows 7 and Vista, please be sure Network Discovery is turned on.

Please add this page to your web browser’s Favorites for easy access in the

future.
