Each system consists of one or more servers. Server are controllers like the Zipabox. Each server
supports the simultaneous use of multiple protocols. But for the sake of simplicity this guide will only
cover the Z-
Wave™
network.
Every system is marked as either
“ON” or “OFF”. If a system is “ON” that means its main controlle
r is
online, if the system
is marked as “OFF” that means its main controller is not online.
A system can have
only one main controller. By default the first controller added to the network will be marked as its
main controller.
To create a new system the
“CREATE SYSTEM”
option should be selected:
