There is no timeout on the node’s attempt to find and join the WPAN, but
the node will not be able to join until it has been whitelisted (see below) .
c) On the PC, refresh the web page showing the Whitelist tab in the browser by
clicking on this tab. The new node should now appear in the list but will be
unticked (greylisted). If the node fails to show in the list, you are advised to power
off the board (e.g. remove the batteries) and re-start it (from Step 6b).
d) Make a note of the node’s IPv6 address and relate it to the physical node, for
identification purposes later on (you may wish to label the node with the address).
e) Put the node into the whitelist by ticking its checkbox on the left-hand side.
f) Click the Save & Apply button. The node should now be able to join the network.
Once the node has joined the network, the three white LEDs or LED D2 (depending
on the board) will flash twice to indicate this and then remain fully illuminated.
Step 4 Start the next board (if any)
If there are still boards to be started, start the next one as described in Step 3.
Step 5 Start the Remote Control Unit and add it to the whitelist
a) Remove the battery compartment slide-cover on the rear of the Remote Control
Unit and insert two of the supplied AAA batteries (the required polarities are
indicated inside the battery compartment). Then replace the cover. Note the
following:

On installing the batteries, the unit will automatically power up.

The unit will then attempt to join the WPAN that has been created by the
JN5168 USB Dongle (Co-ordinator) attached to the Linksys router.

The left LED on the Remote Control Unit will flash twice per second while
the unit is trying to join the network,
but the unit will not be able to join until
it has been whitelisted (see below) .
Note: If the board has previously been used, it will retain
settings (e.g. PAN ID) from the previous network to
which it belonged. To clear this information and return to
the factory settings, perform a factory reset as follows:
Wait at least 2 seconds following power-up and then
press the Reset button on the Carrier Board 4 times with
less than 2 seconds between two consecutive presses.
After the reset, the board will try to join a new network.
Note: If you have prior knowledge of the node’s IEEE/
MAC address and commissioning key, you can enter
these details in the box revealed by clicking the
Add
button.
