II. Instructions for installation:

Connect HIS20USB (Wireless key) to your PC’s USB
port after you have installed its driver. The installation
process is described as follows:

2-1. To install the Wireless key driver (PL-2303
USB-to-Serial), run Step1_HIS20USB
Driver\PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v10518.exe

1

2-2. After the Wireless key device has been connected
to your system, the Hardware Update Wizard dialog
should pop up with a notification for new hardware
found.

2-3. Check the [Connector Port] item under [Device
Manager]; you should see Prolific USB-to-Serial Com m
Port (COMx) (the value for COMx will vary on different
PCs) appearing as a device.

2-4. Since Home Integrated System is developed
based on Microsoft’s .Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack
2, you must first install Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0
Service Pack 2 on your system in order to use the
software. To do so, run NetFx20SP2_x86.exe.

2-5. Install Home Integrated System

Simply Double Click Setup.exe to initiate
installation.

If your system is running on a non-Windows Vista OS,
simply install Home Integrated System in the default
path.

However, if your system is running on Windows Vista
OS, do not install the application in the default path
(C:\Program Files\NLRO\Home Integrated System);
instead, change the installation path to D:\Home
Integrated System. The reason for this additional step
is because the system will write all relevant information
in the folder where you have installed Home Integrated
System when the application is running. However,

Windows Vista has been designed with an additional
protection for all files in the folder C:\Program Files and
any attempt to overwrite any files in the folder will be
forbidden by the OS. Consequently, this protection will
render the application unable to apply the
configurations that the user has made and lead to
application error. Should your current OS have similar
protection, be sure to disable it or seek assistance from
your system administrator.

When installation is complete, the system will create a
shortcut icon for Home Integrated System on the
desktop and
double click on the icon to activate the Home
Integrated System.

in the Start Menu. Simply

ⅢHome Integrated System
Operating Instructions

When you attempt to configure the Home Box via
Home Integrated System, please take note of the
following during the process:

1. Do not remove the Wireless Key from
your system while Home Integrated
System is still running as this may
cause the application to freeze.

2. Do not configure Home Box using its
control panel while Home Integrated
System is still running as this may
result in data inconsistency.

3. With the exception of actions such as
Add Device / Replace Device /
Remove Device, in order for other
settings to take effect, the Sync
function must be used to apply the
new settings to the Home Box.

When you activate Home Integrated System, the
system will automatically check to see if the Wireless
Key has been connected to the PC. If a Wireless Key
has been found, the system will automatically access
relevant data from the Home Box. The process will take
approximately two minutes; please wait for the system
to read the data.

Once the system has finished reading the data, the
system will prompt the user for Admin password.
Please note that in order to operate the system, you
must enter the correct Admin password. The factory
preset Admin password for Home Box is “1234”. For
security reasons, it is recommended that once you log
into the system, go to Settings – System – User and
change the default Admin password.

You will be taken to the main operating screen after the
system has validated the password you have entered.
