seconds. Plug

the

Serial Interface back into the wall outlet and try

running

the

Home

Director

program

again.

Be

aware

that

voltage distribution in homes is

split from the 220 volt

power

input

line.

There

are

two

separate

110

volt power

lines

used

in

the

house.

When

a

signal

is sent to a device

module,

the

signal

will

travel

from

one

110 volt

line,

out

to

the

power

transformer,

then

back

to

the

house

on

the

other

110

volt

line. If

this

distance is too long, you

might

experience

intermittent problems. Try plugging the device module

in another

outlet

socket.

If

you

suspect

a

software

problem,

exit

all

other

software

programs

and

try running the Home Director program again. Conflicts may exist

between

Home

Director

and

another

program. Start

the

other

programs

one

at

a

time

to

determine

which

program

is

causing

the

conflict.

If you need to reinstall

the

Home

Director

software,

first

backup

all the

.HOM

files

and

use

the

uninstall

program in

the

Home

Director

directory.
