Network Operations
Use the following procedure to join an 
existing network or add 
ThinkEssentials
®
 as another 
controller (secondary) to the network.
To join Thinkessentials
®
 to an existing 
Z-Wave
®
 network as a secondary 
controller:
1.  Activate the RePLICATIoN SeND mode 
on your Primary Controller.  This option 
may also simply be referred to as ADD 
DeVICe, ADD CoNTRoLLeR or RePLICATe 
NeTWoRk INFoRMATIoN oNLY.
Note:  Please see the User Manual 
or Instruction Manual for the specific 
Z-Wave
®
 controller being used for 
information on how to RePLICATe SeND 
or CoPY To, node and scene information.
2.  Switch to the SeTTINGS tab, and then 
click the SWITCH To (oR JoIN) ANoTHeR 
NeTWoRk link.  The controller will then 
automatically send the USB Z-Wave
®
 
adapter a full listing of all the modules 
in the network as well as routing 
information.  The software will indicate if 
the process was successful.  If it was not 
successful, it will be necessary to repeat 
this step.
NoTe: If the USB Z-Wave
®
 adapter joins 
an existing network and becomes a 
Secondary Controller, you cannot use the 
software to add or remove modules from 
the network.
NoTe: Any time you add or remove a 
module using the Primary Controller, 
Thinkessentials
®
 and other Secondary 
Controllers should be updated.  See 
section “Receiving Network Updates”, 
page 23.
NoTe: The process of joining a network 
is often referred to as ReCeIVe 
CoNFIGURATIoN or RePLICATIoN 
ReCeIVe mode.  The overall process is 
often called CoNTRoLLeR RePLICATIoN.
Note: By joining another network, all existing 
information on the USB adapter will be lost.
    Select SWITCH To (oR JoIN) ANoTHeR NeTWoRk.
Message window indicating software 
is ready to receive replication.
