Maintenance
Introduction
The 9600 Series network of devices is partially capable of self-maintenance in the event a device fails. The
system software has four data communications to aid in the maintenance of the network.
1. Reset—force individual Routers, all Routers on a single comports, or all Routers on all
comports to reset.
2. Scan—forces the Gateway and all its Routers to change channel or to execute a rebuild depending
upon what was configured.
3. Configure—individual device (name, supervision rate, channel, layer, etc.).
4. Delete—Remove individual devices from Router tables.
Device Failure
When a single, limited function end device (i.e. Pull Cord, Universal) fails, the following procedure will
remove it from the short address table and allow replacement.
To replace a failed end device
1. Unpower and physically remove the failed device.
2. Delete the device from the Configuration >>Devices window in the software. This results in a
broadcast command from the Gateway to remove this MAC short address for the Router table it
was joined to.
3. With the replacement device within range of the Router, remove the battery tab to activate the
device. The replacement device will automatically search all channels to find a “full function”
device to join.
4. Physically install the replacement device.
5. Alarm and then Reset the device. The system recognizes the device when it goes into alarm and
places it into the Device List for configuration.
6. Configure the replacement device in the software using the same device name as the failed device
previously deleted.
7. If necessary, configure the replacement device into a Unit.
8. If necessary, configure the replacement device into a Room.
