Auto-configuration - WaveNet

If your devices support automatic configuration, you can also configure the network automatically. You then no longer need to add the devices manually (for manual adding, see Finding and adding devices).

Depending on the size of your WaveNet, the complete autoconfiguration may take some time. You can therefore restrict automatic configuration to branches of your WaveNet (manually select RouterNodes or select them directly). This does not check all connections and it is possible that the LockNodes are not assigned to the most accessible RouterNode. Only make use of the limited auto-configuration if you are absolutely sure.

Optimized autoconfiguration

If you select the Optimized checkbox Optimised , the system searches for both new and already configured devices.

If the WaveNet Manager discovers that nodes that have already been configured are much easier to reach from other segments (from other RouterNodes), the WaveNet Manager will move these nodes to the segments with the better accessibility.

You can also move the nodes manually afterwards (see Assigning LockNodes to another RouterNode).

  1. The WaveNet Manager searches for accessible RouterNodes.
  2. The WaveNet Manager searches for reachable LockNodes on every RouterNode that is reached (six searches).

Once auto-configuration is complete, the WaveNet Manager will display all devices that have been reached, together with their hex address and chip ID.

NOTE

Time estimate

Depending on the size of your WaveNet, the automatic configuration may take a few minutes.

  1. You can expect about two minutes per router.
