NOTE: The process of receiving network updates is often referred to as RECEIVE
CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION RECEIVE mode. The overall process is often called
CONTROLLER REPLICATION.
Adding a controller to the network
To add another controller to your network, follow the same procedure as Adding
devices to the network (see page # # ), but put the target controller into RECEIVE
CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION RECEIVE mode.
NOTE: The process of adding a controller to a Z-Wave network is often referred to as
SEND CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION SEND mode. The overall process is often called
CONTROLLER REPLICATION.
Resetting the USB stick
WARNING: If your USB stick and software are the Primary Controller in a network, and
you reset your USB stick, you will no longer be able to add or remove devices from your
network without recreating the entire network.
To reset the USB stick:
1. Switch to the ADVANCED SETTINGS tab, and then press the RESET USB STICK
button.
NOTE: If the USB stick is serving as a secondary controller, remove it from the network by
pressing the RECEIVE NETWORK UPDATE button and instructing the Primary Controller to
remove the USB stick. This may be referred to as REMOVE DEVICE.
NOTE: If you reset your Primary Controller before removing all the devices from your
network, you must reset each of the devices (see Removing devices from the network,
page # # ) before adding devices to the network again.
Troubleshooting
Problem:
• I cannot add or remove devices to or from my network. The ADD DEVICE and
REMOVE DEVICE buttons are faded out (dimmed).
Solution:
• The USB stick might be a Secondary Controller. Only a Primary Controller may be
used to add or remove devices to or from a network. Use the Primary Controller
to add or remove devices, and then update your USB stick and software (see
Joining a network, page # # ).
