WaveNet Radio Network 3065
Page 8
Definition: network segments are characterized on the one hand by a particular
transmission medium (i.e. RS485 cable, RS232 cable, or 915 MHz radio) and on the
other hand by a separate segment address (GID = GroupID).
The following SimonsVoss WaveNet network components are available:
7.1 Computers
Using special communication node software (CommNode), computers can be
integrated into WaveNet:
- between the user interface and RS232 port, and
- between the user interface and TCP/IP (Internet, Intranet), and
- between TCP/IP and the RS232 port.

= Lock Node communicates with the allocated lock via 25 kHz (see Administration Building)
7.2 Router Nodes (general)
WaveNet Router Nodes are basically used to connect two different network segments
together; these two may use the same transmission medium (i.e. RS485 to RS485),
or different transmission media (i.e. RS485 cable to 915 MHz radio).
Furthermore, data streams arriving from the segments are filtered by the WaveNet
Router Node so that the only data passed on to the segment downstream from the
WaveNet Router Node is the data which is supposed to be processed by that
segment. The WaveNet Router Node blocks out all other data from the downstream
segment.
