"Routing Table". Additional controllers added to the network using the Primary Controller are called "Secondary Con-
trollers" and are unable to include/exclude nodes (devices).
Note:
The IBR-ITAB is not a controller, but operates as
a "display" to provide visual output from the IBR-ZREMOTE controller. For the purposes of this manual, all refer-
ences to the IBR-ITAB will refer to both the IBR-ITAB tablet itself or the IBR-ZREMOTE Z-Wave controller module
(see WI1980 for more information).
•
Include:
Add a device or controller to your home automation network.
•
Exclude:
Remove a device or controller from your home automation network.
•
Node ID:
Used to identify and manage individual nodes in a network; each ID is unique within a network.
•
Node Information Frame:
Describes the abilities of a node, allowing the controller to identify and control the various
node types available. All nodes automatically send their Node Information Frame when a button on the node is
pressed; those controllers in need of the Node Information Frame are programmed to request it automatically when
needed.
•
"Event-Action" Configuration Table:
Used to associate security alarm system events to your home automation
system. For example, a burglary alarm triggers certain lights to turn on, and certain cameras to start recording video.
•
Rebuild Mesh:
A manual request to redesign the Routing Table to increase communication efficiency (accelerate
response times). Usually performed after physical changes are made to the network, such as after home construc-
tion projects or other physical changes to the premises that might affect communications within the network.
•
Abort:
Exit a function or task without saving changes.
•
Erase All Devices:
Deletes all nodes (devices and controllers) from the network.
•
Group:
A collection of switches and dimmers that can be displayed together for ease of access.
•
Scene:
Several devices in your network pre-set to a specific condition.
