CREATING A Z-WAVE®NETWORK
The Teleport™ Universal A/V remote control allows you to control lights, thermostats and many other devices around your home using additional Z-Wave®certified products from Wayne-Dalton Corporation.
Teleport™ communicates with your Z-Wave®nodes (devices) using radio signals. Large metal objects, house wiring, walls, furniture, refrigerators, microwaves and similar items, may interfere and reduce the range of your unit. A Z-Wave®network is a collection of Z-Wave®nodes in a mesh type of network. Each Z-Wave®node, regardless of manufacturer, communicates with all the other nodes within its range to route and repeat the signals from one device to the next, thus creating a highly robust network transmission throughout the home.
A Z-Wave®network can have only one primary controller. The primary controller establishes the network security to ensure your network will not operate your neighbors network and vice-versa. It is a good practice to label and protect your primary controller since it is the only Z-Wave®controller that can add more nodes to your network or delete nodes from your network. It is easy to add secondary controllers as your network grows. For more tips and great ideas on how to use and expand Teleport™ with Z-Wave®please visit our website, www.wayne-dalton.com/access.
Information on the following pages provide details on specific commands and features available on the Teleport™ remote control for use with your Z-Wave®network.
The following tips may be useful in setting up Z-Wave®control on your Teleport™ Universal A/V remote control. Page numbers indicate the page in this manual where you can find specific instructions for performing that step.
If you do NOT have an existing network:
1.Install your Z-Wave®nodes that are to be controlled.
2.Delete the Z-Wave®nodes to be controlled from any existing network they may be in. (page 21)
3.Add the nodes to be controlled to Teleport™. (page 21)
NOTE: Your Teleport™ is now the primary controller of your Z-Wave®network.
4.Add the nodes to be controlled to a scene. (page 22)
5.Test your scene by activating the scene. (page 23)
If your scene is not correct, repeat step 4.
6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional scene you wish to create.
7.If you have additional Z-Wave®controllers, they can be made secondary controllers in the network by copying network and scene information as desired. (page 24)
