6.2 Joining a Network
In this scenario a network exists, a new device, the ‘joiner’, wants to join the network.
Any device on the existing network can become the ‘adder’.
Step1
Press the pushbutton on the ‘joiner’ for less than 3 seconds.
Step2
Press the pushbutton on any network device for less than 3 seconds,
making it the ‘adder’. Please press this pushbutton within 1 minute.
Step3
Wait for connection to complete.
The power LED on both devices will flash at 1-second intervals until the process
succeeds or fails. It will illuminate steadily on success. If an error occurs, the power
LED on the ‘adder’ will flash unevenly until the pushbutton on the ‘adder’ is pressed
again or the ‘joiner’ is reset by pressing the pushbutton for more than 10 seconds.
