8.0 Network structure
In the network structure depicted above, different users with different rights can
access a common server using the SimonsVoss WaveNet communication node
software (CommNode) and a GUI (Graphical User Interface) via the Internet/Intranet.
This server acts as a communication node and is connected to the WaveNet Central
Node via an RS232 cable.
In the example shown above, the WaveNet Central Node connected to the server
communicates via radio (915 MHz) directly with a Lock Node, which in turn
exchanges data with the digital component (locking cylinder), also by radio (25 kHz).
In this example, all of the other Lock Nodes are outside the radio range of the
WaveNet Central Node, and are therefore contacted indirectly via a WaveNet
Repeater Node.
The structure above can be set up nicely using the multi-user and client-compatible
database application known as the SimonsVoss LSM locking system management
software. However, in the example above there is only one single CommNode, and
thus only one single Central Node with a local subnetwork. In reality, almost any
number of CommNodes can be connected via the Intranet or Internet. This enables
what is known as ‘branch operation’; that means any number of branch offices with
local Central Nodes and associated subnetworks can be linked to a central office via
the Intranet/Internet.
Much easier to install (and correspondingly easier to manage) is the file-based LDB
locking system administration software from SimonsVoss, which, unlike LSM, does
not allow a direct integration of the Intranet/Internet transmission medium. Instead, a
host computer is connected directly to the Central Node of the WaveNet network.
