for communication between several units/nodes. The
protocol is LonTalk and the transmission works with doubly-
terminated bus topology (Echelon FTT-10). To connect a control unit
to the network, a TLON connection board is plugged in the control
unit. (Old installations: Some control units, not prepared for network
connection, could be connected via a serial interface and a Gateway).
A network can be one sub net (FTT-10) or several sub nets, connected
via routers. (In the TLON Network a sub net = a channel.)
Repeaters are used to increase the maximum cable length, node to
node, in a network.
