Installation and Setup
1. Unpack the Z-NET, AC power supply and Ethernet cable. Connect the cable to the unit and attach the other end to
your router or network switch.
2. Connect the AC power supply to the unit and plug it in. The unit will power on by itself and the LED on the top of the
unit will blink red for approximately 20 seconds and then glow red once the unit has nished booting.
3. Navigate to nd.homeseer.com to access the system nder. You should see two links displayed, one for your
HomeTroller hub (or HS4 system) and one for your Z-NET. If you don’t see the Z-NET link, wait for a few minutes and
refresh your browser.
4. Click the HomeTroller (or HS4) link to access the web interface of your HomeSeer system. Then navigate to
Plugins > Z-Wave > Add Interface to access the stepper for adding the Z-Net to your system.
5. Create a Name for your Z-NET, Select HomeSeer Z-NET Ethernet as the Model, and congure the interface by
selecting Auto*, then Add. The Z-NET will then be added to your system.
*Note: If multiple Z-NETs are to be installed, do not select Auto. Instead, choose the specic Z-NET from the drop-
down list. The example below includes 2 units named Z-NET-R2 and Z-NET-R2-2.
