the installed location of the CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module with

its Neuron ID in the Segment Controller.

3. Define which domains the device should use for normal communications.

You can use any 1-, 3-, or 6-byte domain, but a 6-byte domain is

recommended; for example, you could use the 6-byte Neuron ID of the

Segment Controller as the network segment domain. If security is not

required for your network, each device can use a single domain for both

discovery and normal communications.

You can use a script file with the NodeUtil Node Utility to configure security for

the CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules; see Using a NodeUtil Script to Define

Preparing the Luminaires

To prepare a luminaire for a street lighting network, perform the following tasks:

1. If the network configuration is known, or if device security is configured

before the devices are installed (that is, in a pre-deployment facility),

define the authentication key for the device. You can use any 12-byte

(96-bit) key.

2. If the network configuration is not known, or if device security is

configured after the devices are installed (that is, in the field), note the

Neuron ID for the device (generally printed on or attached to the device)

so that you can match the installed location of the luminaire with its

Neuron ID in the Segment Controller.

3. Define which domains the device should use for device discovery and for

normal communications. You can use any 1-, 3-, or 6-byte domain, but a

6-byte domain is recommended; for example, you could use the 6-byte

Neuron ID of the Segment Controller as the network segment domain. If

security is not required for your network, each device can use a single

domain for both discovery and normal communications.

You can use a script file with the NodeUtil Node Utility to configure security for

Device Discovery

Before the Segment Controller can discover and commission luminaires and CRD

3000 Street Light Bridge modules within the street lighting network, you must

place the Segment Controller in acquisition mode; see Automatically Discovering

Devices on page 27 for more information.
If you install the Segment Controller before installing any luminaires or CRD

3000 Street Light Bridge modules, you can pre-define each luminaire or CRD

3000 Street Light Bridge module within the Segment Controller. In this case,

the Segment Controller discovers and commissions each device as it is installed.

For any devices that the Segment Controller cannot discover, you can install a

CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module to extend the communications range so

that the device can be discovered.
If you install luminaires or CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules before

installing their corresponding Segment Controller, the Segment Controller must

discover and commission all luminaires and CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge
