Once the PXL-configured hub has been claimed and updated, you can then add a PXL primary controller. A PXL primary is the first controller on the network (and is address #1). There are two methods for adding a PXL primary controller - you can either scan for the LAN-520 device which is the network device that is connected to the controller - or, you can manually add the primary PXL controller (if you know the IP address that's assigned to the LAN-520 module.
The following steps explain how to add the primary controller via the manual add option.
