How to join the TBus Devices (NV-ET1801 extenders)?

Joining NV-ET1801 Transceivers

1. Connect two NV-ET1801 transceiver TBus ports using either an RJ45 or BNC patch cord. Caution: Never connect the RJ45 TBus port to an RJ45 Ethernet port (10/100 PoE+)
2. Apply power to one of the transceivers using its 56VDC power supply. The Power LED on both transceivers will blink for several seconds and then go on.  After 20 seconds, verify the green TBus Link LED on each transceiver is off.
3. On one transceiver, using a straightened paper clip, momentarily depress and release the small JOIN push-button located on the bottom of the unit.  Its blue Power LED will begin blinking.
4. On the other transceiver, depress and release the same push-button. Its blue Power LED will begin blinking.  The devices have now entered Join Mode. They will find each other and establish encrypted communication.  In about 10 seconds, the blue Power LEDs on both transceivers will return to a steady condition, and their green TBus Link LEDs will illuminate, indicating a successful join.  One TBus Link LED will remain solid.  The other may wink with data.
5. To join another transceiver into the network group, repeat steps 1-4 using one joined and one unjoined transceiver.

Note: If the Link LED never comes on during the joining process, the transceiver(s) may need to be reconfigured before proceeding.
