  5. In the Add Subcontroller window, select 'RI2M Sub' under the Sub-controller Type. In the Sub-Controller Address dropdown menu, select the address corresponding to the hardware address of the RI2M, 
  6. Click Add Sub-controller button
  7. The RI2M subcontroller should now appear under the IC2 in the hardware tree
  8. Next, use Download Manager to send a 'Hardware' download for that IC2
  9. In the IC2 Controller Status screen, the RI2m should now show online
  10. Complete
