PROGRAMMING  SDN
SDN shades are programmed using the Screen Innovations SIFI via the web interface. This
programming can be done with a Windows or Mac computer either over LAN or wired directly to
SIFI. The following instructions are for a Windows computer, but the steps for programming on
a Mac are very similar. For a complete guide to program SIFI on a Mac, please visit our website.
Before attempting to program any motors with SIFI, verify that the rmware is up to date. To
adjust the lower limit of an SDN shade, follow the steps below.
Connect SIFI as shown below.
1. Launch Windows File Explorer
2. Click on the “Network” tab
3. Double click on the SIFI, the default web browser will launch
4. At the landing page, click the three lines in the top right corner, then click “Settings”
5. Select the “SDN” tab on the top left
6. Press the spyglass to auto discover motors on the SDN network (may have to press it more
than once)
7. Click on the motor you want to program
8. Name the motor
9. Right click on the down limit count
10. Move the shade up or down using the buttons in the popup window
11. Click set to conrm the limit
12. Operate the shade up and then back down to verify the position of the limit

TROUBLESHOOTING  SDN
Troubleshooting - SDN Pg 9
Tech Support: 512.832.6939
Problem Possible Cause Action to Take
Shade won’t
operate.
Motor is not powered.
Ensure that 24Volt motors have 24V DC supply and
that the polarity is correct.
Incorrect or poor cable
termination.
Check the wire pinouts and termination. Look for
broken, loose, or damaged wires. Reterminate if
necessary.
SIFI is not powered. Check that the green LED on SIFI is flashing. If not,
make sure power is available via the bus power
supply or PoE (with expansion card only).
SIFI is not on the local
network.
Use the service keypad (if available) to validate the
SDN network and motors are operating properly
before troubleshooting SIFI network problems.
Check that the SIFI is communicating on the
local network. Ping the device via the windows
command prompt, or make sure the device shows
up in the network tab of the Windows File Explorer.
