Use the following procedure to transfer the Pri-
mary Controller role from Houseport
®
to another
controller.
Transferring the primary controller role between
controllers is sometimes necessary or convenient
when working with your Z-Wave
®
network. For
example, to add a new Z-Wave
®
module to a
network where Houseport
®
is set-up as the primary
controller and is running on a desktop computer,
would be difficult since the desktop Mac
®
computer
is generally not very portable. It would be much
easier to temporarily transfer the primary controller
role from Houseport
®
on the desktop Mac
®
to a
portable controller, add the new Z-Wave
®
module
with the portable controller and then transfer the
primary controller role back to Houseport
®
.
1. go to the
Network
pull down menu, hold down
the shift key while the
Network
pull down menu is
down and
Add Controller
changes to
Add Primary
Controller
, and click on
Add Primary Controller.
2. Put the target controller in JoIN NeTWoRk,
ReCeIVe CoNFIgURATIoN, or RePLICATIoN ReCeIVe
mode. (Please see the User Manual or Instruction
Manual for the specific Z-Wave
®
controller being
programmed for detailed programming information.)
NoTe:
If the target controller is a secondary remote
in different network, it will need to be reset before it
will accept the primary controller role transfer. See
the User Manual for the specific controller being
programmed for details.
NoTe:
For your security, the USB
Z-Wave
®
Adapter must be within 3 feet of the
controller to be added.
NoTe:
The process of transferring the primary
controller role to another controller may delete
all previous network information on the target
controller. See the User Manual for the specific
controller being programmed for details.
