Wayne-Dalton WDUSB-10R, WDSF-10 Network Operations, Joining ThinkEssentials to Existing Networks

Joining ThinkEssentials® to

Existing Networks

Use the following procedure to join an existing network or add ThinkEssentials® as another controller (secondary) to the network.

To join ThinkEssentials® to an existing Z-Wave®network as a secondary controller:

1.Activate the REPLICATION SEND mode on your Primary Controller. This option may also simply be referred to as ADD DEVICE, ADD CONTROLLER or REPLICATE NETWORK INFORMATION ONLY.

Note: Please see the User Manual or Instruction Manual for the specific Z-Wave®controller being used for information on how to REPLICATE SEND or COPY TO, node and scene information.

2.Switch to the SETTINGS tab, and then click the SWITCH TO (OR JOIN) ANOTHER NETWORK link. The controller will then automatically send the USB Z-Wave®adapter a full listing of all the modules in the network as well as routing information. The software will indicate if the process was successful. If it was not successful, it will be necessary to repeat this step.

NOTE: If the USB Z-Wave®adapter joins an existing network and becomes a Secondary Controller, you cannot use the software to add or remove modules from the network.

NOTE: Any time you add or remove a module using the Primary Controller, ThinkEssentials® and other Secondary Controllers should be updated. See section “Receiving Network Updates”, page 23.

NOTE: The process of joining a network is often referred to as RECEIVE CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION RECEIVE mode. The overall process is often called CONTROLLER REPLICATION.
