Restoring Power to SmartLinc
Like most INSTEON devices, SmartLinc stores all of its settings (including links) in its internal non-
volatile memory. All settings will be retained in the event of a power failure. Once power is restored,
SmartLinc will return all its connected loads to their previous states before the power loss occurred.
Resetting SmartLinc to Factory Default Settings
If you forgot your SmartLinc password or changed your network settings, perform a connection reset
to reenable DHCP, reset the port to 80 and disable SmartLinc authentication. All of SmartLinc’s
memory (links, scene/room names, etc.) will be preserved.
Connection Reset
1. Press and hold SmartLinc’s Set button for 5
seconds. Status LED will begin blinking.
2. Tap Set button five times. Status LED will stop
blinking and turn on solid.
When you first power on SmartLinc (or after performing a factory reset), its text fields are pre-
populated with commonly used room/scene names, a timer and example scenes. To erase all these
options and start from a “clean slate,” follow these instructions.
