<h1>Hardware Support: Powerline - Compatible Adapters</h1>
<p>This page helps you identify the type of Adapter you have, and - if it is supported -
gives you information how to configure JMRI to connect it.</p>

controllers</a>.</p>

<td>This adapter can be identified by the 4 pin RJ-11 connection on the bottom.<br>
To use this with JMRI, select "Powerline Controller" in the JMRI preferences, the proper
serial port, and "CM11" for the adapter.<br>
This adapter is no longer in production. Only the Insteon 2412S is currently being
produced.</td><!-- Comment -->

This adapter is no longer in production. Consider the Insteon 2412S as an
alternative.</td><!-- Comment -->

the USB connection on the bottom and an antenna on the side.</td><!-- Comment -->

<td>This device (top) depends on another X10 device that is the true controller,
typically the TM751 device (bottom). While it is a serial device, it uses the RTS/DTS
lines instead of the data lines. That lets the device work while having most other serial
devices work through it.</td><!-- Comment -->
<td>Not Supported.<br>
Because of the tight timing and detailed hardware access these units require, it's
unlikely we're going to support this device.<br>
