1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to guide the system’s installer with the steps
necessary to install and configure the Universal Devices’ ISY system and operate
the GUI.
ISY comes configured for communications with the device(s) of your choice. The
package contains:
i. Power supply
ii. Ethernet cable (Blue Cable)
iii. A Serial/RS232 cable – for advanced administrative tasks. If you
would like to view system status using Windows Hyper-terminal or
any other terminal emulation software
iv. Documentation and Utilities disk
v. Quick setup guide
2. Theory of Operation
All ISY systems are empowered with UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) stack
through utilization of which all the devices on the network can seamlessly
communicate with each other and other computers on the network. ISY systems
come embedded with their own browser based GUI and, as such, there is no need
for any software installation besides the normal Java runtime and, optionally,
Excel for trending and reporting.
UPnP enables the devices on the network to automatically show up as resources
on the “Network Neighborhood” or “My Network Places” on host computers just
like a shared printer. For UPnP to work, the devices (and specifically ISY
systems) need to be able to advertise their presence on the network and,
furthermore, be able to communicate their state changes to the network. In this
respect, then, the main prerequisites for successful operations are
i.
Network enabled environment
ii. Configuration of firewall programs (besides Windows Firewall) to allow
for the devices to communicate with the host system beyond the local
network
