There are no system range limitations for transmitting
data between luminaires because each luminaire has the
ability to act as a repeater (see Re-Broadcast Mode
below). ArcSystem is self-regulating and continues to
reconfigure the communication “mesh” to establish the
most successful path of communication transmission.
Re-Broadcast Mode
By default all ArcSystem luminaires are shipped with Re-
broadcast Mode turned off to reduce the amount of
wireless activity. In areas of poor wireless reception, re-
broadcast mode may be enabled on a luminaire-by-
luminaire basis to improve the overall signal level of the
system.
CAUTION:
If re-broadcast mode is
required, use this feature in as few
luminaires as possible to avoid unnecessary
traffic on the network and possible system
performance issues.
