Magellan’s firmware can be upgraded locally using the UIP-256
Universal In-Field Programmer. The UIP-256 includes
proprietary PC software, cables to interconnect Magellan and a
PC, as well as two 9V batteries. Connect the UIP-256 as shown

X10 Transmitter Connection
Magellan supports the X10 communication protocol. X10 is a
communication protocol for remote control of electrical devices
such as lamps and appliances. Communication is accomplished
through standard household electrical wiring using X10
transmitters and receivers. Configure Magellan, with the use of
an X10 transmitter, to automate a home. Connect the X10
transmitter as shown in Figure 10 on page 9.
Refer to the Magellan X10 Instructions on our website,
www.paradox.ca, for information on using and
configuring Magellan’s X10 feature.
