7.5 Central nodes
WaveNet central nodes can be used
• If there is a computer network (LAN) or Internet/Intranet installed at the
customer’s premises. Any transmission media may be selected. The central
nodes WN.CN.S(X) or WN.CN.U(X) are connected to the PC. Communication
node software (CommNode) is installed on this PC. This allows the central node
to be addressed from any location (GUI = G
raphic User Interface) in the network.
A central node can of course also be connected ‘locally’ to a PC.
7.6 LockNode with RS485 interface
WaveNet LockNodes with integrated RS485 interface allow you to create a ‘wired’
WaveNet. For the cable type, select CAT 5 or higher. As a connection is provided for
an external power supply (max. 24 V DC), the LockNodes are not
battery-operated
(see 7.9). Up to 250 LockNodes can be administered in each segment. To expand a
segment you always need a WN.RN.CC. The maximum cable length per segment is
900 m. If the cable length is exceeded, you will need a WN.RP.CC. This high-speed
repeater serves to forward signals in both directions (up/down link). The repeater
does not
expand the segment.
