1.9 Replacing Devices
This section explains what happens when wireless input unit A, which is currently
participating in the network, is replaced with wireless input unit B using the same wireless
settings.
When A is disconnected from the network, it takes about 90 minutes for the coordinator to
detect the disconnection. Because the coordinator assumes that A is participating in the
network during this period, B cannot join the network. There are two ways for B to join the
network.
• Wait for the coordinator to detect the disconnection of A and allow B to join the network
(this takes about 90 minutes).
• If you want B to immediately join the network, press the GX/GP/GM wireless
communication module’s reboot switch, or restart the GX/GP/GM (note that in this case,
the network is reconfigured).
