Device Addressing
Device addressing is handled by the REACH Wireless Loop-
Interface device (RW1700-030APO).
Devices are soft-addressed automatically when pairing with
the Loop Interface and can be changed manually. Hard-
addressing using Apollo XPERT cards are not supported.

Communication
REACH Wireless Devices use ‘radio-frequency’ wireless
communication to connect to the Loop-Interface.
The Loop-Interface (RW1700-030APO) translates the wireless
communication into wired Apollo protocol communication,
with each device addressable individually by the fire panel.
See datasheets for the Loop-Interface for more information.
