Step 3 Start a board and add the node to the whitelist
Perform the following for just one board:
a) On a Carrier Board fitted with a JN5168 module with uFL connector, install one of
the supplied push-through antennae onto the board and connect the attached fly
lead to the uFL connector on the module (this installation is fully described in
Section 1.3.6.1 ). This is not necessary for a module with an integrated antenna.
b) Insert four of the supplied AAA batteries onto the rear of the Carrier Board (the
required polarities are indicated on the board). Also ensure that the batteries have
been selected as the power source for the board, with the jumper
J4 in the BAT
position (as described in Section 1.3.2.1 ).
You can alternatively power a board from the 12V DC power supply unit provided
in the evaluation kit (see
Section 1.3.2.1 ). It is possible to power more than one
board from this unit by daisy-chaining the boards using the supplied cable.
Note the following:

On power-up, the node will attempt to join the WPAN (for which the
JN5168 USB Dongle is the Co-ordinator).

While the node is trying to join the network, the three white LEDs on a
Lighting/Sensor Expansion Board or LED D2 on the Generic Expansion
Board will be fully illuminated.
Caution: The LEDs on the Lighting/Sensor Expansion
Boards are very bright at maximum intensity. To avoid
damage to your eyes, do not look into them directly for
an extended period of time.
