The USB Insteon PowerLinc Modem is a USB-based home
automation interface that allows PC- and hardware-based automation controllers
to control Insteon-compatible lights, appliances, heating/air conditioning
systems and alarm systems directly via the Insteon network. The dual-band
interface sends and receives both powerline and radio frequency (RF) Insteon
signals, so it doubles as an Access Point. This makes it ideal for new Insteon
installations if you have or plane to use an RF-only Insteon-compatible
remote, thermostat, motion sensor and contact sensor. The RF signal can bypass
electrical noise or attenuation near the PC and it pulls many of the "distant"
Insteon devices one hop closer, which can expand the size of potential
installations into even larger homes and commercial buildings. From the

RF function, acts like an Access Point for phase bridging and RF to/from power
line; 1023 links (compared to around 800 links previously); Added a beep
sounder ; Red/Green LED light; Supports faster reading and writing of the
PLM's database by another controller; Much lighter weight ; No pass-through
outlet. Please Note: The controller connected to the USB INSTEON PowerLinc
Modem must remain powered on and running the controller program connected to
the controller or host at all times of usage. Additionally, the dual-band
interface does not supply power to external devices.
