===How to Install an Inovonics Antenna===
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 />
* When you first use the Inovonics antenna, open the case for it, and attach the ACC643 cable
 
* Plug the antenna into an electrical outlet that is ''not'' switch-operated
