Wayne-Dalton WDSF-10, WDUSB-10R manual Updating Secondary Controllers

Updating Secondary Controllers

Use the following procedure to update secondary controllers in a network where ThinkEssentials® is the pri- mary controller.

It is best practice to update the network information in your secondary controllers whenever Z-Wave®modules are added or deleted from the network by the primary controller. This will improve the overall performance of your network and the controllers in it.

To update the network and routing information in an existing secondary controller on your network, follow the same procedure as “Adding a controller to the network” (see page 23), but put the target controller into JOIN NETWORK, RECEIVE CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION RECEIVE mode.

1.From the Design tab, press the ADD DEVICE button. A message window will ask you to press the button on the device to add.

2.Place the secondary controller into

RECEIVE REPLICATION or COPY FROM mode. (Please see the User Manual or Instruction Manual for the specific Z-Wave®controller being programmed for detailed programming information.)

If the operation is successful, a message window will appear stating that the device has been successfully added. Repeat this procedure if a message window states that the module failed to be included. There is NO icon for a secondary controller.

NOTE: For your security, the USB Z-Wave®Adapter must be within 3 feet of the controller to be added.

NOTE: The process of adding a controller to a Z-Wave®network is often referred to as SEND CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION SEND mode. The overall process is often called

CONTROLLER REPLICATION.
