Ethernet network (LAN).
1) Connect to the Ethernet network: Connect a Cat-5 cable to
the Pro.zwi Ethernet port and the LAN router/switch. The Pro.zwi
will receive an IP address from the network router via DHCP. The
“NET LINK” light on the front of the Pro.zwi will blink to indicate a
connection to the LAN.
2) Add Pro.zwi to the Pro Control Studio system le: Open the

programming visit Pro Control dealer website.
• Product Inclusion
Start the Add/Include process by selecting Device-Add/Include from
the Z-Wave Manager main menu or by selecting the Add/Include
button on the main toolbar. It may take a few moments for the device
to show up in the list depending on how many devices are already in
the network and what type of device is being added. When a device is
successfully added you will also hear a beep sound from the computer
(if PC sound is enabled).
• Product Exclusion
Start the Remove/Exclude process by selecting Device-Remove/
Exclude from the Z-Wave Manager main menu or by selecting the
Remove/Exclude button on the main toolbar. Once the dialog box
appears, activate the exclude process on the device (see the device
documentation for more details). As devices are removed from the
Z-Wave network they are removed from the Z-Wave Manager Device
List.
Pro.zwi Learn Mode
If the Pro.zwi is going to be installed in a Z-Wave network with an
existing controller, follow these steps to set the learn mode as the
primary or secondary controller.
• Adding the Pro.zwi as the Primary Controller
First activate the “include” process on the existing Primary Controller.
In the Z-Wave Manager software, select the “Become Primary” Learn
Mode on the Controller toolbar to activate the Pro.zwi.
• Adding the Pro.zwi as a Secondary Controller
First activate the “include” process on the existing Primary Controller.
In the Z-Wave Manager software, select the “Become Secondary”
Learn Mode on the Controller toolbar to activate the Pro.zwi.
The Lifeline Association Group
The Pro.zwi supports the Lifeline Association Group. This enables the Pro
Control system to receive the critical notications from Z-Wave devices
in the network. Z-Wave Plus devices are automatically associated with
the Pro.zwi as each is added to the network. Therefore, when a frame
is received such as from a smoke alarm, it is passed on to the ProLink.z
processor for use within the Pro Control system. The Lifeline Signals are
processed just like unsolicited messages.
Pro.zwi Reset to Defaults Description
NOTE: Use the reset procedure only when the primary controller
is missing or inoperable.
Start the Pro.zwi reset process by selecting Reset Controller/Start New
Installation from the Z-Wave Manager main menu or by selecting the
Reset Controller/Start New Installation button on the main toolbar. The
Pro.zwi will become the primary controller, all Z-Wave devices will be
removed from its memory and a new HomeID will be assigned.
