No reason to apologize. There is a learning curve here that we are trying to remove.
The EZIO8SA cannot connect directly to a PC. The EZIO8SA can only communicate on an Insteon network. You configure the EZIO8SA through the insteon network.
To use the free utility you must connect through a PLC or through an EZSrve that is connected to your computer. If you decide to not use the free utility, you need to use a different sw package or use a manual method.

EZSrve:

If you decide to use the free utility, you need to purchase one of the above. I am sorry, but we do not have support for the PLM with the utility.
Also, depending on your needs, you can just use a manual configuration, though you are limited in how much you can configure. See the quick start guide.
