11) Change deploy period and scan rate as desired.
12) Press "save" in Network Settings.
Network is deployed. You may now add nodes just by turning them on within radio range.

3.5 Putting Network into Deploy Mode

All devices are in deploy mode when turned on. There is no need to press the status button after
power up. If a light is flashing on the supervisor every 10 seconds, the network is already in
deploy mode. To activate deploy mode:
1) Press the status button on the supervisor, observe a green LED flash.
2) Wait 3-6 minutes, observe a flash every 10 seconds.

3.6 Putting Network into Normal Mode

Networks will time out and switch to normal mode after the deploy period has expired without a
new node being added to the network. Adding a new node restarts the deploy period timer. If no
lights are flashing on the supervisor for more than 10 seconds, the network is already in normal
mode. To activate normal mode:
1) Press the status button on the supervisor, observe a red LED flash.
2) Wait 10-20 seconds, observe flashing stops.

3.7 Adding a Node to an Existing Network

1) Put network in deploy mode.
2) Turn on the node within radio range.
3) The node will flash lights every 10 seconds to indicate signal strength once it syncs.

3.8 Node Lights

Nodes that have joined a network use their lights to indicate the presence and strength of signal.
Pressing the status button "turns on" the lights for 10 minutes, after which time they will stop to
conserve power. Upon pressing the status button and observing a green flash, the node will
display lights for 10 minutes. Observing a red light will mean the lights are turned off, press
again to enable.
