When the one or more processors 210 tracking a beacon beam 24 in the cropped portion of the frame temporarily loses the beacon beam 24, the one or more processors 210 may enlarge the cropped portion of the frame using the receiver 240 to encompass a larger pixel region until the beacon is detected. Then the cropped portion of the frame may be reduced, and tracking performed as previously described. When the cropped portion of the frame is enlarged more than a maximum threshold size, the first and second communication devices 200a, 200b may be designated as primary and secondary devices, and the primary and secondary search pattern 700, 800 may be initiated from where the beacon beams 24a, 24b were last detected.
