1. Plug the PLM into an outlet next to your router our network jack. Install a cat 5 from the PLM into the ISY-99i Port "A" jack. Install a second cat 5 cable from the ISY-99i “network” jack to a open port on your router.
   
2. Install the Triggerlinc in the location you want to monitor (example: if a door, then attach the TriggerLinc magnet to the door and the TrigglerLinc itself to the door frame).
   
3. Plug in the Access Point into an AC outlet (this is a wireless RF receiver for the TriggerLinc).
   
4. Log into the ISY-99i by going to you Network Neighborhood on your computer and clicking on "My Lighting". When the program starts, click on Administrative Console then go to Link Management and click on Start Linking.
   
5. Go to the Triggerlinc and press the set button. The Device should now show up in the ISY-99i as the device ID labeled on the Triggerlinc. At this point you may want to rename it to some other name.
6. With in the ISY-99 menu there is a Configuration tab that will take you to a screen to enter your email address or cell phone information. Once that is done you will need to write a simple rule in the ISY-99i program menu that will look something like this: If - Status of Triggerlinc is On
   Then - Notify (Notify is the name that the ISY-99i gives to its email and text message function).
