How to join multiple NV-EC1701 units together as a group?

Step 1: Factory default the NV-EC1701 Transceivers

• Connect two NV-EC1701 transceivers using a coax jumper.
• Apply power to one of the NV-EC1701 using its 55VDC power supply.
• On each NV-EC1701, use the straightened paper-clip, for 15 seconds until all LEDs flash depress and release the small push-button located behind and slightly above the RJ45 LED. Observe that the green BNC LED goes on for ten seconds and then goes off.
  
  
  

Step 2: Establishing Connection

• On the first transceiver, press and release the push-button (accessible with the straightened paper-clip) again. The blue POWER LED will start blinking.
• Do the same for the second transceiver. Its blue POWER LED will also start blinking.
• Both transceivers are now in Join Mode and will automatically locate each other to establish an encrypted communication.
• After about 10 seconds, both transceivers' blue POWER LEDs will return to a steady condition, and the green BNC LEDs will light up, signaling a successful connection.

 
Step 3: Adding More Transceivers (If Needed)

• To add additional transceivers to the same Network Group, disconnect the second transceiver and replace it with a new un-joined one (transceivers #3, #4, or #5, etc.).
• Repeat Step 2 for each new transceiver you wish to add.
