WaveNet Radio Network 3065
Page 9
WaveNet Router Nodes are currently capable of connecting the following
transmission interfaces between the segments: RS485 CAT5 cable, RS232 cable,
915 MHz radio.

Router Nodes (special versions)
WaveNet Central Nodes
are Router Nodes which enable the linking of:
-
computers (RS232 port) and 915 MHz radio, and
-
computers (RS232 port) and CAT5 wiring (RS485).
WaveNet Repeater Nodes
are Router Nodes which link together two different
segments that use the same transmission media, thus enabling the range to be
extended. This means that if the radio transmission distance to the Lock Node
achieved by the Router Node is too small, or if a cable within the network is going to
exceed the maximum length, an extension can be created which complies with the
system specifications using the WaveNet Repeater Node.
WaveNet Router Nodes as a converter from radio.... to cable....
WaveNet Repeater Nodes are used in situations such as the following:
•
If the radio range to a Lock Node is further than the range of a WaveNet
Router Node: the radio signal is sent by the WaveNet Router Node to the
WaveNet Repeater Node and from there to the Lock Node (LN).

WaveNet network:
