What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two- way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes
( meshed network ) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the
transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

Product Description

The Z-Wave Toolbox is a self-contained tool that enables the user to easily troubleshoot Z-Wave networks. Whether the problem is a range issue, interference, or device placement, the Z-Wave Toolbox will make troubleshooting a breezeThe toolbox is a web-based, flexible tool that will work withany operating system, even smart phones and tablets. The toolbox contains 3 major applications, The Z-Wave Packet Analyzer, the Spectrum Analyzer, and the Network Health Tester.The Z-Wave Packet Analyzer allows the user to see Z-Wave traffic. It helps troubleshoot connections, identify abnormal device operation, and pinpoint weak spots. The Spectrum Analyzer allows users to scan frequencies close to Z-Wave frequencies for any interference. Network Health Tester. This powerful tool can determine link stability, quality of service, latencies, and can help the user totroubleshoot, optimize, and deploy Z-Wave networks with confidence. Technical details:Self-contained hardware that does not need computer to operateConnectivity – Ethernet, WiFi (AP and Client mode)Low power; it can run on batteries (battery pack sold separately)Power Adapter (12V/1A, 100-240VAC)FCC and CE compliant

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country- specific
installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of
the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

Network Health Tool:Using the Z-Wave controller you intend to troubleshoot, begin the inclusion process to add a new generic Z-Wave device. Select LEARN on the Network Health Tool Device List widget. The Z-Wave controller may include the ZWP-TBX as a generic scene controller or similar device; name the device according to your troubleshooting needs.

Exclusion

Network Health Tool:Select RESET on the Network Health Tool Device List widget. Be sure to delete the ToolBox from the Z-Wave controller.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

• Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network.
  Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.

• Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network.
  Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.

• Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
  a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.

• Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.

• Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.

• Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
  a controlled device.

• Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
  device to announces that is able to communicate.

• Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
  Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
