DESIGN GUIDE
Network Addressing
The network address is used to identify networks in a multi-network system. Each C-Bus
TM
network may be connected to other C-Bus networks
using a C-Bus Network Bridge. The C-Bus Network Bridge facilitates communications across networks, allowing device on one C-Bus network
to issue commands to devices on another C-Bus network.
Examples of valid network names are “First Floor”, “My House”, “Movie Theatre” or “Building 12A.” Up to 255 unique networks may be
connected together using C-Bus Network Bridges as shown.
For large installations where real time response is required from a central control, a C-Bus Ethernet Network Interface may be used to connect
multiple C-Bus networks together using a common Ethernet backbone. The C-Bus Ethernet Network Interface is a 10 Base T Ethernet
compliant device.
