Network
The Network section of the UI focuses on the network as such and offers all controls and information to build, manage and
repair the wireless network of the controller.
Control
The network control summarizes all commands needed to manage the network and the controller. The page is structured
in four boxes.
The device management box allows including and excluding Z-Wave devices. A status display shows the status of the
controller. The “Include Device” resp. “Exclude Device” button turn the controller into the Inclusion resp. Exclusion mode.
In this case the status display changes and the resp. buttons turns into a “Stop” function. The inclusion and exclusion
modes will time out after about 20 seconds but can always be terminated using the “Stop” buttons.
Another way to stop the inclusion mode is to actually include a new device. In this case the inclusion mode will stop and
the node id of the new device is shown. The controller generated a default name of the device as combination of its
primary function and the new node id. Clicking on this default name leads to the Configuration page where the name can
be changed and other configuration tasks can be performed.
Please refer to the devices manual on how to do an inclusion. In case the inclusion does not work as expected, please exclude
the device first. More than 90 % of all inclusion problems are caused by still included in a different network and can then not
being included again.
The Exclusion mode also stops when one device was successfully excluded. This function can exclude devices from other
networks too but the device need be available and functioning. To remove malfunctioning or disappeared devices please
refer to “Replace Failed node” or Remove Failed node”.
In case the new device supports enhanced security function (Security Command Class) this controller will include the
device securely. After this all data exchange between the controller and the new device is encrypted using AES encryption.
For performance reasons it mays be desired not to use the security function. The slider “Force unsecure inclusion” turns
the controller into a mode where all security functions are suppressed for the included device. Security functions of other
devices are not impacted.
