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 NMK button on the ‘joiner’ for at least 3 seconds.
Step2 Press the NMK button 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 LEDs on both devices will flash at 1-second intervals until the process
succeeds or fails. They 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.
