How to set up Powernode 2i + RT100 + Pulse Sub

I recently got a Pulse Sub (not the + version) to complete my Bluesound setup. The Pulse Sub and the Powernode 2i cannot connect wirelessly, so I bought the RT100 wireless addon. There are some conflicting messages on how to set this up however and I cannot get any sound out of the sub at the moment.

My powernode has been updated in the app and the wireless connection between the sub and the RT100 was succesful, both showed a steady green light after pairing. Shorting the RCA cables on the RT100 makes the sub buzz. I have tried both the Powernode USB-A and an external power supply for the RT100. I have no mono cable at this moment but tried connecting one of the stereo RCA tulips to the Powernode and the jack to the "in" of the RT100, I see this removes the "wireless" word from the subwoofer option in the app but still no sound.

What is the Bluesound advised method to connect these three components?

Thank you Tony, but this article describes the RT100 pairing process, which I completed as described (and works, given that I can create a buzz in the sub by twiddling the wires on the RT100). This does not describe how to connect the RT100 to the Powernode 2i.

I also found a duplicate of my issue: https://support1.bluesound.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360048610194-Powernode-2i-with-rt-100 I think referring to an internal document concerning logs. Do you have any additional information?
