Case 4: Join Multiple Devices to a Network
To add several new devices to an existing network, the process in Case 2 must be repeated for
each ‘joiner’. A vendor may implement a mode of operation in which an ‘adder’ device in the
network remains in the adder state for an extended period allowing additional ‘joiners’ to be
added in turn. This lets you press the ‘adder’ Network ID button once then press each ‘joiner’
Network ID button in turn.
If Network ID buttons are pressed on two or more joiners, only the first one will respond. The
second will not. This makes timing important.
