    摘要: The method of the present invention allows a first wireless control device that is operable to communicate on a predetermined one of a plurality of channels to establish communication with a second wireless control device that may be communicating on any of the plurality of channels. A beacon message is first transmitted repeatedly by the wireless control device on the predetermined channel. The second wireless control device listens for the beacon message for a predetermined amount of time on each of the plurality of channels. When the second control device receives the beacon message on the predetermined channel, the second control device begins communicating on the predetermined channel. The second wireless device may begin listening for the beacon message in response to powering up.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of restoring a remotely-located control device of a wireless load control system to a default factory setting. The control device is operable to be coupled to a source of power and has a memory for storing programming information. First, a beacon message is transmitted repeatedly on a predetermined channel. Second, power is applied to the control device. Subsequently, the control device listens for the beacon message for a predetermined amount of time on each of the plurality of channels, and receives the beacon message on the predetermined channel. Next, the a first signal uniquely identifying the control device is transmitted wirelessly from the control device on the predetermined channel within a predetermined amount of time power is applied to the control device. Finally, the control device receives a second signal transmitted on the predetermined channel, and programs the memory with the default factory setting in response to the second signal.

    摘要: A wireless lighting control system has a plurality of control devices, some of which may be remotely-located. Each of the control devices is operable to be coupled to a source of power and to be assigned a unique device address. To assign a unique address to the control devices that are remotely-located, power is cycled to those control devices, i.e., by interrupting and restoring power to the control devices. The control device then transmits wirelessly a signal uniquely identifying the control device within a predetermined amount of time after the cycling of power. A list of unaddressed control devices that have recently been power cycled is generated. Each of the control devices on the list is then assigned and transmitted a unique device address.
