5. Leave **Sync Mode** to **Locale Automatic** and leave the **RPN** and **Sync Source** fields blank.

7. Click on **Register Next**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/9281)
8. Plug the network cable into the repeater.
9. The repeater and base unit should blink green until registration is successful.
10. Once registered, the base and repeater should have a solid green light and the repeater should show up in the web GUI. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/9282)
11. To pair additional repeaters repeat steps 1-10.

## Firmware Upgrade

If the firmware of the repeater does not match the version on our server, the firmware will automatically start downloading and the web GUI will indicate that the firmware is updating. There is no indication on the base or repeater that a firmware update is in progress. Do not unplug the repeater or base unit until the firmware update is complete. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/9279)![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/9278)
