2.1.3 Extend your network
Upon your first login, the information instructing how to extend the network with secondary nodes
in the same kit is displayed. To extend the network with other nodes, see Add a node.
To extend your network with secondary nodes in the same kit:
Step 1
Connect secondary nodes by following the instructions displayed.
When the LED indicators of secondary nodes light solid green, the networking is
successful.
Step 2
Relocate the secondary nodes to a proper position.
−
Ensure that the distance between any two nodes is less than 10 meters.
−
Keep your nodes away from electronics with strong interference, such as microwave ovens,
induction cookers, and refrigerators.
−
Place the nodes in a high position with few obstacles.
Step 3
Power on the secondary nodes again. Wait until these LED indicators blink green slowly.
If the LED indicator of any secondary node blinks green slowly for more than 3 minutes, move it closer
to the primary node.
Step 4
Observe the LED indicators of the secondary nodes until the LED indicators light one of
the following colors:
Solid green
Networking succeeds. Excellent connection quality.
Solid yellow
Networking succeeds. Fair connection quality.
Solid red
Networking succeeds. Poor connection quality.
If any secondary node's LED indicator lights solid red, relocate it by repeating Steps 2 to 4.
