A system with approximately two fully populated RAK-Stars will be approaching the 3000m
limit in a typical installation. Obviously this can vary dramatically depending on the nature of
the installation and resulting routes taken by the cables.
Installing the WA-NEX
Connections
The WA-NEX has both punch-down and RJ11 ports that can be used to connect it to each
half of the newly partitioned system. As indicated on the board the wired network with the
Bridge should be connected to the “Master” side and the other to the “Remote” side.
Spurs
If possible it is good practice to only have a single cable coming from each of the Master and
Remote sides of the WA-NEX and to avoid using spurs While a network with multiple spurs
from the WA-NEX will operate correctly it should only be used when inadequate cabling is
present for daisy chain or star wiring.
