Startup Procedure

 

 

Once the 

EMU-2

™ has successfully completed its initialization procedures, the display 

will show the 

Startup

 screen.  Normally, this is the Rainforest Automation logo: 

 

Then the Joining Procedure will begin.   

The procedure is as follows: 

  Send Beacon Request, and look for a device that has the 'join' flag enabled in its 

beacon. 

  After joining the network, wait for the Coordinator to send the network key 

encrypted with our link key (derived from the install code). 

  Look for the Key Establishment Cluster using match descriptor. 

  Perform Key Exchange. 

  If successful, look for the time cluster and the metering cluster. 

  If successful, ask for time.  The time needs to be a valid value. 

  If successful, ask for metering, pricing, and messaging. 

The flowchart for this procedure is shown below, along with the output screens that are 
displayed during the procedure:
