Joining a Network
In this scenario a network exists, a new device, the ‘joiner’, wants to join the network.
Any device on the existing network can become the ‘adder’.
1.
Press the pushbutton on the ‘joiner’ for at least 3 seconds.
2.
Press the pushbutton on any network device for less than 3 seconds,
making it the ‘adder’. Please press this pushbutton within 1 minute.
3.
Wait for the connection to complete.
The Power LED on both devices blinks at 1-second intervals until the process succeeds or
fails. It illuminates steadily on success connection. If an error occurs, the Power LED on the
‘adder’ blinks unevenly until the pushbutton on the ‘adder’ is pressed again or the ‘joiner’ is
reset by pressing the pushbutton for more than 10 seconds.
