Thanks for the reply. I suspected the ISY was required for the programs to run but wasn't sure. The programs are still running but as I mentioned, I can no longer ping the ISY.

Plug the other end of the cable into your PLM. 3. Apply power to the PLM and ISY by plugging it into a standard power outlet. Do not plug the PLM into a UPS or surge protector of any kind.
