There are 2 different models of X10 antenna (transceiver), a serial and a USB model. The serial antenna can be used on any system with a serial port, and can be used with a serial-to-USB adapter on systems without. The serial antenna must be plugged into an electrical outlet. The USB model is more common.<br /><br />

How to Install an Inovonics Antenna

At the touchscreen (or for a CoMo box - at the GCTV image):

  • Insert the X10 antenna into an available port (typically a port on the back of the machine)
  • If using the serial model, plug the antenna into an electrical outlet
  • Press the System (Gear) button
  • Enter the 4-digit System PIN (which is set, and can be viewed, on the Advanced Settings screen in the Care Menu)
  • Press "Peripherals"
  • On the Peripheral page, the Inovonics antenna is referred to as the "EN4000"
  • In the EN4000 row, choose the port - your choices will be specific to the system hardware
  • Press "Turn On"
  • Restart peripherals when prompted
  • If installed correctly, the row will now be highlighted in green. If there is a problem with the installation, the row will be highlighted in red.
  • After it is installed correctly, you can begin to add Inovonics devices, such as motion sensors, door sensors, etc.
