This will be the same message displayed by the status light. This will last for 20 seconds. Network: General Information: A network can consist of 10 nodes and a node can be either a hand control or a control box. All 10 nodes in a network can be sending at the same time with out interference. Each network has one coordinator which is in charge of communications for that network. If the coordinator stops working the whole network is down and communications is halted. A total of 16 networks can be running simultaneous with out interference for a total of 160 nodes. Each node has a unique 32 bit ID code for a total of 4.2 billion ID codes. When multiple networks are used one of the coordinators becomes the master coordinator. If the master coordinator is disabled another coordinator takes over the masters duties. If 2 coordinators are both set for master one of the units will resign as master. Communications is not effected by these changes. Single Network: A single network is made up of 1 control box and 1or 2 hand controls. The hand control is learned to only one control box. Example Single network with 1 Hand Control: Example Single network with 2 Hand Controls: To create a simple network use “Making a Coordinator Procedure” and then “Hand Control to Control Box Procedure”. Independent Network: An independent network is 1 to 16 Single Networks in communications range of each other. Example: Two independent networks with 1 Hand Control:
