HARDWARE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read through these installation steps completely BEFORE you start to
install your ActiveHome hardware.
1. Before starting, make sure your system is powered off.
2. Take the cable that came with your ActiveHome Starter Kit and plug the large
end into an unused COM port on the back of your computer.
3. Locate the Interface that came in your ActiveHome Starter Kit.
4. Plug the small end of the ActiveHome cable into the connector on the bottom of
the Interface. The cable connector just snaps into the Interface.
5. Plug the Interface into an AC electrical outlet that can not be turned on/off. This
could either be a wall outlet or a power strip (without a surge protector).
Extension cords are not recommended.
6. Now power on your computer and double click on the ActiveHome icon. This
will start the ActiveHome software. Select Tools from the menu bar and then
View Connections. You will then see a series of pictures on your computer
screen that shows you how to install the Interface (see Hardware Installation
Instructions above). Look these over, when you are sure that you have installed
it correctly, click anywhere on the picture and it will disappear.
7. Select Preferences from the File menu and select which COM port you
connected your Interface to.
