NAMING ANd BINdING pROCEdURE
Overview
As the home's electrical network is being used to transmit HomePlug
Power Line Carrier (PLC) signals, it is important to have the most robust
communication network possible. This is why intended installation
locations are pre-qualified BEFORE committing to a location and making
a hole in the wall.
Preparation
To perform binding and network verification you will need:
• CAK1 keypad with pigtail (have all planned keypads on hand)
• CMM1 Media Manager and power cord
• Power strip
Power up units
1. Plug all keypads into power strip. Each keypad's power supply
should have a pigtail connected with a grounded three-prong plug,
and keypad should be assembled.
2. Plug the CMM1 Media Manager into the power strip.
3. Wait for the keypads to boot up.
Naming the keypads
4. Each keypad should be named at this time. Give keypads unique
names to avoid confusion when using the intercom or joining music
from another room. Write that name on a label and place it on the
aluminum frame of the keypad.
5. From the Initial Setup screen, choose Name, then use the wheel to
scroll through the alphabet (upper and lower case), and press Select
to enter each letter. When finished, press Enter to save. Complete
the naming procedure for all keypads.

Binding the devices
The binding process associates the keypad with the media manager
(CMM1) by sharing a unique key and establishes communication and
identification of devices on the PLC network.
6. On the first keypad, from the Initial Setup screen, scroll to and select
Setup Gridcast Network.
7. Depress the binding button on the back of the CMM1. Wait for the
LED to settle into a slow blinking mode (one second on/off ) LED.
8. On the keypad, within 30 seconds scroll to and select Bind to Media
Manager.
9. When the devices are bound to each other, the Status on the screen
will change to Joined Network. Press Done to exit.
10. On the Initial Setup screen, press Done to complete the procedure.
11. Repeat the binding process for each additional keypad.
12. If there is an error or if the keypad shows "Waiting for others", power
cycle the keypad and try again.
Once all keypads are bound to the Gridcast network, unplug all the
devices and proceed to location validation. Device names and binding
status are stored in memory and are not affected by power status.
