using the Security/Reset pushbutton and using the Utility.
Operation progress and outcome can be monitored by observing the behavior of the power LED.
7.1 Using the Security\Reset Pushbutton
Scenario:
Devices A and B are located in network N. Device C (the joiner) that is not located in any

Do as follows to add Device C to Network N using the Security/Reset button:
Step 1
Press the Security\Reset button on Device A (or Device B) for less than 3 seconds, making
it the ‘adder’.
Step 2
Within 2 minutes, press the Security\Reset button Device C (the ‘joiner’) for less than 3
seconds.
Step 3
Wait for connection to complete.
The Power indicator on Device A (or Device B) and Device C will flash at 1 second intervals until
the process succeeds or fails. It will illuminate steadily on success. If an error occurs, the Power
indicator on Device A (or Device B) and Device C will flash unevenly for 2 minutes.
