Power-up Behavior
Communications
The RS-232 Serial communications to the PowerLinc Modem (PLM) are:
Note: each byte sent to the PowerLinc Modem will be echoed back to the host.

LED On Steady PLM detected an external EEPROM for storage of database links.
LED blinks six
times PLM has not detected an external EEPROM and will use the internal EEPROM of the processor chip.
LED is Off While being plugged in, the user pressed and held the SET button for 3 seconds causing the PLM to perform
a factory reset. At the conclusion of the reset, the PLM’s LED will operate like one of the two modes above.

Tips for Using PowerLinc Modem
• Do not plug PowerLinc Modem into a power strip or AC line filter.
• Some computers and their accessories can absorb PowerLinc Carrier (PLC) signals off the power lines.
Since PowerLinc Modem will be so close to the computer, the power strip for the computer should be
filtered. Use Smarthome’s FilterLincTM #1626 on the computer’s power strip to keep the PowerLinc
Modem’s signals from getting absorbed by the computer equipment.
• Don't plug other PLC transmitters into the same outlet as PowerLinc Modem. Every PLC transmitter will
absorb the other transmitter's PLC signals when they are not transmitting. In some cases, up to half
the signal can be lost due to nearby transmitters.
• If the computer's serial port is shared with another hardware device (scanner, pda, etc.) be sure to turn
off that device's program on the PC. If left running, the home automation software will not be able to
communicate to the PowerLinc Modem. #1626 FilterLincTM

device does cause such interference, which can be
verified by turning the device off and on, the user is
encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna of the
device experiencing the interference.
•Increase the distance between this device and the
receiver.
•Connect the device to an AC outlet on a circuit
different from the one that supplies power to the
receiver.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician.
