another Z-Wave network.

Click Automation > Z-Wave Setup to display the Z–Wave
Management screen, then click Z-Wave Default and select
Yes.
2. Press the Z-Wave Primary button to switch VAM to secondary
controller. The Z-Wave Primary icon changes to Z-Wave
Secondary accordingly.
3. Start the inclusion process at the other network’s primary
controller (see controller’s manual), then click the Add Device
button in VAM’s Z-Wave Management screen to add (include)
VAM to the controller. To remove (exclude) VAM from the
primary controller, start the exclusion process at the other
network’s primary controller, then click the Remove Device
button in VAM.
