Build the LPI-10 into the separate segments in such a way that there is voltage of at
least 35V DC at each LockNode.
Consequently, the installation location depends on the number and particular
distribution of the LockNodes in the corresponding segment.
If it is not possible to guarantee voltage of 35 VDC at each LockNode with one
LPI-10, you must install a repeater (including power supply) and an additional LPI-10
(including power supply) in the segment.
The LPI-10, as it comes from the factory, does not have any over voltage protection.
For this reason, this protection should be already provided for by the customer.
6.0 Router
6.1 Method of Operation
Routers are needed in order to separate individual segments, such as floors or
buildings, from one another in large networks. From the entire data stream that
arrives at one side, they are able to filter out the data that is intended for the segment
lying behind them (data segmentation). Because the routers receive a Group ID, they
must be configured by SimonsVoss.
Example:
One segment can have a maximum of 62 LockNodes. As soon as this number is
exceeded, you must open a new segment with a router and an additional LPI-10
module + plug-in power supply. A network can have a maximum of 63 segments. In
large networks, you should choose the segments to fit the structural conditions, for
example, one segment per building or floor.
