RocketFish RF-RBAUX Quick Setup Manual

RF-RBAUX Wireless Sender / Receiver
Please read before setting up your system.
Every Rocketboost network must contain at least one hub device, which directs network data tra c and helps devices
join the network. The network can have only one hub, which you can enable using the hub switch on the back of all
Rocketboost transmitters.
If this is your rst Rocketboost product you should make this unit the hub. If you are building a Network of two or more
RF-RBAUX units, you should enable hub mode on one unit only, you can pick any unit. Then join the other RF-RBAUX
units to the hub mode you selected. If you already have Rocketboost products you should disable the hub mode on
this device.If you bought this product at the same time as a RF-RBKIT or RF-RBWS02 please disable hub functionality on
your RF-RBAUX as one your other devices will be enabled as a hub from the factory.
IMPORTANT: Hub units must always have power for your network to operate. The device may be placed in standby, but
the unit must remain plugged into the wall for operation of your network.
See your User Guide (page 23) for further instructions on Establishing Communication to the network.
