Network Formation / Reformation
• The WPT network automatically form once the components are powered.
The components should be powered up as follows:
- Hub / server
- Repeaters
- WPTs
• As they are powered, Hub, Repeaters, and WPTs begin communicating
with each other and determining best communication routes.
• Network formation only takes a few seconds in most cases, but it can take
a few minutes for all devices to be “negotiated” into the network.
- For example, if a Repeater drops off the network it can take some time for the
network to “re-negotiate” a new path (self healing).
• Remember, WPTs only associate themselves with one device (directly
with the Hub, or with a Repeater)
