GE 45601 - Manual (Page 4)

If this remote is used as the primary controller, you must use it to create
your control network. You can use multiple remote controls with your
Z-Wave lighting control network, however, only one remote will act as
the primary controller. The primary controller must be used to add or
delete devices (lights / nodes) from your network. All other controllers are
considered secondary and can be used to create groups and/or scenes
and control your lighting however secondary controllers cannot add or
delete devices from your network.
NOTE: This product can be operated in one Z-Wave network with
Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other
applications. The different listening nodes within the network can act as
repeaters regardless of vendor.
For best results, please read and perform all the remaining instructions
before using the remote. Keep this guide for future reference.
Z-WAVE TERMINOLOGY
Primary Controller: This is the main device used to set up and control
your Z-Wave network. There can only be one primary controller and it
must be used to add or delete devices. A primary controller can be a
portable device like a hand-held remote, a static controller (permanently
installed & never moved), a Z-Wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave enabled
Ethernet router/bridge.
Secondary Controller: The Z-Wave network supports multiple
controllers so the residents can use additional Z-Wave remotes
throughout the home. If the secondary controller is the same brand
and model as the primary, it will have all of the same capabilities as the
primary with one exception; the secondary controller can not be used to
add or delete devices.
Home Control Network: Your controllers and every Z-Wave device
you have added with the primary controller are linked together into a
wireless network. Each device in your network has a unique address
assigned to it and cannot be activated by your neighbor’s Z-Wave
controller.
Light/Node/Device: Node is the technical term used to describe a Z-
Wave device in your home control network. Please note that the terms
“Node”, “Device” and “Light” all refer to an individual Z-Wave enabled
device and are interchangeable within the context of these instructions.
Group: Multiple Z-Wave devices can be turned ON or OFF with a single
command when they are placed into a Group. One example would be
grouping your porch light, exterior garage lights and patio lights together
so that they could all be turned ON if you hear a strange sound in the
middle of the night.
