Example 1 – Fully equipped segment

The

database

in the Bewator Entro an SR35i to address a maximum of 32 wire-

less doors and 9 routers.
The

wireless functions

in an SR35i cannot however connect directly to more than

six RF9 routers or to more than 14 door units. If there are more than 14 door units

in the segment SR35i must be completed with at least one more RF9.
The example shows, to the right, how the three routers and the eighteen doors

must be configured

after

router 1-6.
