Adding the central output router
In RingCast you can configure any second generation RouterNode (with
Ethernet interface, WNM.RN2.ER.IO from firmware version 40.10) as
central output router. The central output router first collects the received
input acknowledgements of all other Ethernet router nodes (ER) involved
in the RingCast and only then sends its own input acknowledgement or
sets the output as set in
RouterNode: Digital output [
}
74]
. All other
RouterNodes set the input acknowledgement / output as previously set.
Transmission takes place via Ethernet. Its output is therefore always
switched as the last output of the entire RingCast and indicates that all
locking devices involved in the RingCast via Ethernet RouterNodes have
received the command.
NOTE
Central output router in RingCast with R/CR router nodes
The central output router receives the input acknowledgement of the parti-
cipating router nodes exclusively via an Ethernet connection. The central
output router therefore ignores the status of router nodes that are not Eth-
ernet router nodes (.ER). If you are using the central output router and your
RingCast also contains router nodes without an Ethernet interface, the
central output router's input acknowledgement only means that all locking
devices assigned to an Ethernet router node have received the command.

Check the status of other router nodes (R/CR) independently of the
central output router manually (see
Test reachability (LSM) [
}
177]
and
RouterNodes [
}
174]
or
IO Status and LockNode responsiveness
[
}
179]
).
If the central output router does not set its input acknowledgement or does
not switch its output, this may be due to these reasons, among others:

One or more RouterNodes have not received the data packet.

One or more RouterNodes have not reached one or more LockNodes.

Ethernet connection to one or more RouterNodes is interrupted. The
RouterNodes could have received the data packet wirelessly, but could
no longer return their input acknowledgements due to the interrupted
Ethernet connection.
