Appendix C: Wireless Networks
A properly functioning wireless network for the XP8.4 consists of:
One or more XP8.4s
•
An ELAN Zone SS1 System Station for each XP8.4
•
A Router
•
A Wireless Access Point (WAP)
•
The Router and WAP may be combined into a single device.
SS1 System Station
The SS1 System Station is an RS-232, IR, Sense and Relay controller. It also
translates the XP8.4’s 8.02.11b/g WiFi commands into actions that can con-
trol system functions including Home Theater or a zone control of an ELAN
multi-room system. Future software/feature-set enhancements to the SS1
are field-upgradeable through VIA!TOOLS setup software.
Note: For detailed connections and operation of the SS1, please con-
sult the SS1 Installation Manual.

Router
A router is a computer networking device that forwards data to its proper
destination and connects two or more networks together. Routers typically
connect home networks to the Internet. Wireless Routers that combine the
functions of a Router and WAP are popular options for home networks.
