3.3. Associating another controller with the network (LEARN MODE)
Associating further controllers with the network makes them being categorized as
“SECONDARY”. Associating a controller with the Z-Wave network consists in sending data to it from the
PRIMARY controller. The procedure of controller associating is presented in
Figure 4 . In order to assure the
best possible communication within the network and after each its modification (including or removing a
device):
•
associating another controller with the network should be performed after associating all devices with
the first controller (“PRIMARY”),
•
or performing LEARN MODE again on the “SECONDARY” controller already associated with the
network.
*) Programming error can be caused by:
•
failure to enter LEARN MODE on the controller being associated with the network within 10 seconds
from primary controller signaling its readiness for adding a new device to the network;
•
long distance between the primary controller and controller being added;
•
controller already belonging to another network. It is necessary to perform DEFAULT procedure with it
and repeat associating with the network.
