Preparing to Install SmartLinc
Read and understand these instructions before installing, and retain them for future reference.
SmartLinc is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local
regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada.
Use indoors only.
Prior to installing SmartLinc, review the installation procedure and take the following precautions:
If you have any questions, please call the INSTEON Support Line at 800-762-7845.
• Don’t plug SmartLinc into a switch-controlled outlet. If the switch is turned off, SmartLinc will
have no power
• Don’t plug SmartLinc into a filtered power strip or AC line filter
• SmartLinc may feel warm during operation. The amount of heat is within approved limits and
poses no hazards. To minimize heat buildup, ensure the area around the rear of SmartLinc
has adequate ventilation.
• Don’t plug INSTEON modules into one another. They may overheat and stop functioning.
Installing SmartLinc
1. Plug the included
Ethernet cable into
an open port on your
router.
2. Plug the other end
of the cable into
SmartLinc.
3. Plug in SmartLinc.
4. Check the connection between SmartLinc and your router.
The router’s port LED will turn on and SmartLinc’s Ethernet
jack LED will turn green.
To access SmartLinc when you’re away from home, you will have to enable port forwarding on your
router. If your router is UPnP-compatible, you can set it up through the INSTEON app (see section
below). If your router is not UPnP-compatible (most are), refer to Owner’s Manual for complete
instructions. For the best network performance, we recommend installing at least two Access Points
(#2443) or other dual-band INSTEON products.
