Nan, the "connected to an idle instance" message just means your connection found the Oracle instance you tried to connect to is not running and the session is ready to issue the limited set of commands that can be applied in this situation such as startup.
You may want to reference the DBA Administration manual chapter on starting and stopping an Oracle instance http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/start.htm#ADMIN004

Idle instance is a devil's workshop! You should better start it with "startup" command.
