Send a node information frame
Sending a ‘node information frame’ can be necessary to perform for example associations with others Z-Wave
devices. However, under normal circumstances this should not be necessary since the Internet Gateway sets
up associations automatically after including a device to its network.
To send a node information frame, press the button once. The indicator light will blink orange once (if this
does not happen, press the button just a little longer).
Include the Internet Gateway into another network
In order to include the Internet Gateway into an already existing Z-Wave network, the following steps should
be taken:
1. Make sure that the Internet Gateway has no devices included (if it has, please exclude them first using
the benext Graphical Web-interface).
2. Set the Primary Controller (or an Inclusion Controller) of the existing network in inclusion mode.
3. Press and hold the Learn button, the indicator light will switch off.
4. Once the indicator light starts blinking orange, release the button. The indicator light starts blinking
orange two times every second.
If the indicator light blinks three times every second, the Internet Gateway is already included
in another network. Exclude it from the network using the benext Graphical Web-interface
(preferred), or delete all network information using the button (see below).
If the indicator light blinks eight times in one second, after which it returns to normal
operation mode, the Internet Gateway has other devices included in its network. Exclude
them first using the benext Graphical Web-interface.
5. After a few seconds, the indicator light should be orange for a full second, after which it returns to
normal operation. The Internet Gateway is successfully included in the network.
After 2 minutes, the indicator light blinks eight times in one second, after which it returns to
normal operation mode. This means inclusion has failed. Try again and make sure the
controller of the other network is reachable and in inclusion mode.
Delete all Z-Wave network information and create a new network
In order to remove all Z-Wave network information (perform a ‘Controller Reset’), please take the following
actions. Note that this is only possible when the Internet Gateway is included in an already existing network. If
the Internet Gateway runs its own Z-Wave network, you should exclude the included devices using the benext
Graphical Web-interface, after which the Internet Gateway should be in the same state.
1. Press and hold the Learn button, the indicator light will switch off.
2. Once the indicator light starts blinking orange, release the button. The indicator light starts blinking
orange three times every second.
If the indicator light does not blink three times every second, the Internet Gateway is not
included in a foreign network. Therefore this functionality is unavailable.
3. Press the button again. The indicator light will become solid orange for at least a second.
4. Once the indicator light shows normal behavior again, the Internet Gateway has created a new Z-Wave
network and is ready for operation.
