INSTEON/X10 Power line Modem

Installation

1) Using a standard CAT5(e), straight-through, patch cable, connect one end

     into the RJ-45 connector on the bottom of your EZIComm.

2) Plug the other end of the patch cable into the “PLM” port on your EZIO8SA

3) Plug your EZIComm directly into an A/C outlet, preferably away from any 

     low voltage transformers, surge protectors, or other line-noise causing devices.

Note: The EZIComm will not power the EZIO8SA, so an external power supply for the 

EZIO8SA will be required.

Connecting to a Computer

Connecting to an EZIO8SA (RS-232 only)

1) Using the serial to RJ-45 connector cable, plug the RJ-45 connector into the

     bottom of your EZIComm and the DB9 connector into a compatible serial port 

     on your computer.  

 Note: Newer computers may not have a serial port, so you’ll need a USB to serial adaptor.

2) Plug your EZIComm directly into an A/C outlet, preferably away from

     any low voltage transformers, surge protectors, or other line-noise

     causing devices.  

The EZIComm is a serial based interface that communicates 

via   RS-232 (upgradeable to RS-485) with your INSTEON and 

X10 network.  The EZIComm is a DualBand PLM comparable to 

SmartLabs model #2413S.

With the EZIComm, you’ll be able to power automation hardware 

like the EZIO8SA and limit the need for an external power supply.

There are various software packages that interface with the 

EZIComm to communicate with an INSTEON and X10 network.
