Beaming:
Non-AC (battery) powered Z-Wave appliances (such as battery operated door locks, thermostats, etc.)
must be beamed a "wake up" command to carry out subsequent commands from the Z-Wave controller. This
"beaming" command emanates from the Z-Wave controller and must be "beamed" from one node to another until the
command arrives at the intended destination (door lock). Although only those devices in the network path (from the
controller to the specific end device) MUST support beaming. However, to avoid troubleshooting and provide a more
reliable mesh network, we recommend only using devices that support beaming in networks that include battery pow-
ered Z-Wave devices (such as door locks).

Association
: Associations allow Z-Wave transmitter source ("secondary") devices (such as certain model motion
detectors, wall switches and dimmers) to send commands
directly
to other target ("master") Z-Wave devices (such
as lamp modules and appliance modules wired to the electrical load). For example, at the bottom of a staircase, a
battery powered Z-Wave dimmer "secondary/source" device is associated with a "target/master" Z-Wave dimmer at
the top of the staircase that is wired to a ceiling fixture. In order to create associations, devices at both ends of the
association must be designed by the manufacturer to support Associations (devices are usually labeled "Supports Z-
Wave associations").
•
Replication
: Refers to the protocol replication between Controllers that is used to exchange protocol replication data
between different Controllers within the same network. The IBR-ITAB
Learn
button is used when you wish to add
the IBR-ZREMOTE Controller to another network as a Secondary Controller or to another network as a Primary Con-
troller. In either case, the IBR-ZREMOTE Controller receives "protocol replication data" from the Primary Controller
of the other network.
Note:
Z-Wave device designs can vary, including the name and location of its "Learn" button; see the documentation
for the specific device you wish to include (or associate) to ensure correct operation.
SECURITY WARNING:
If you create a Scene or Event that involves arming the alarm control panel and the system is
configured to use the Napco "Classic" keypad style, then ensure the User Code entered into the Scene or Event configu-
ration screens is an "ARM ONLY" Code. If not, subsequent activation of the Scene or Event will disarm the alarm panel.
