The next node that is turned on (e.g. node 6 in figure 10) will first be configured as a listen
only node and will receive the signals broadcasted from other nodes, which, in this case,
will only be from node 3. Since the new node will not be within range of at least 3 other
primary nodes, it too will become a primary node and will broadcast a signal to all other
nodes indicating that it has become a primary node. This new primary node will also use
the same network ID set by the very first primary node.
Figure 10: The nodes are configured as primary if they are not within range of at least 3
other primary nodes
This process will repeat for the next few lights that are turned on and since they will all be
primary nodes and within range of each other, they will use the same network ID set by
the very first primary node.
At some point, the next node that is turned on (e.g. node 5 in figure 11) will be within range
of at least 3 other primary nodes (after receiving the signals broadcasted from the other
primary nodes) and will change from a listen only node to a reserve node instead. Since
this is the very first reserve node, it will choose a new network ID and will broadcast a
signal to all other nodes indicating that it has become a reserve node.
Figure 11:
If the node is within range of at least 3 other primary nodes, it will become a
reserve node
