Installation Options
WAN\LAN Network
The LAN network can be setup to reach outside Ethernet cables or wirelessly using a Cellular based net-
work to reach an Ethernet service provider (WAN). Depending on the option you choose, the planning
and installation will be different.
• For an Ethernet setup, make sure there is access to high speed Internet.
• For a Cellular based network, plug the cellular base to the external USB connector on the EDGE 2
enclosure with a sealing rating of IP54 or Nema 12.
Redundant Controller and LAN\WLAN Network
A redundant Main Controller is used in case the Main Controller Master fails. Use of a redundant Main
Controller will determine its communication scheme.
• Redundant Main Controller using internally wired Ethernet (LAN) network
• Redundant Main Controller using internally wireless Ethernet (WLAN)
• Redundant Main Controller using Cellular network
Redundant Power Supply
The EDGE 2 System uses a redundant power supply. Depending on the option you choose, the planning
and installation will be different. (28W max of DC load with 6 Slot Expansion Box on EDGE network, 60W
max of DC load with 3 Slot Expansion Box on EDGE network)
The controller groups must be divided into subgroups of two Expansion Boxes (28W max of DC load with
6 Slot Expansion Box, 60W max of DC load with 3 Slot Expansion Box).
INSTRUCTIONS: Divide the total group of Expansion Boxes by 2 to make a subgroup of two Expansion
Boxes. If there is an odd group of Expansion Boxes, you can make an even group using one of the follow-
ing options:
