Place the other devices in the kit within 3 meters from the primary node to power them on. Wait for about 2 minutes. When the LED indicators of these devices light solid green, the networking is successful and these devices become secondary nodes in the network.
Please refer to the following relocation tips to locate the secondary nodes to a proper position:

Ensure that the distance between any two nodes is less than 10 meters.
Keep your nodes away from electronics with strong interference, such as microwave oven, induction cooker, and refrigerator.
Place the nodes in a high position with few obstacles.

Power on the secondary nodes again till these LED indicators blink green slowly. The MX6 (3-pack) is taken as an example here.
Tips
If the LED indicator of secondary node keeps blinking green slowly for more than 3 minutes, relocate the secondary node and move it closer to the primary node.

Observe the LED indicator of the secondary nodes until the LED indicator lights one of the following colors

	Solid green	Networking succeeds. Excellent connection quality.
	Solid yellow	Networking succeeds. Fair connection quality.
	Solid red	Networking succeeds. Poor connection quality.

If the secondary node's LED indicator lights solid red, relocate it according to step 2 in III Extend network to get an optimal connection quality.

Done.

- Wired devices: Connect to the LAN ports of your nodes.
