There are, however, some interesting solutions which also allow ‘branch operation’
using devices such as a modem or external software (PC Anywhere, for example).
Networks are divided up into segments. A WaveNet Central Node can serve up to
253 segments, while each segment can have up to 253 WaveNet Lock Nodes /
WaveNet Router Nodes.
Note:
If you are using the LSM software, the network can be divided up between
1021/62 and 253/253 (segments / Lock Nodes per segment). When planning the
system, this means you can decide whether each segment should have more
segments or more Lock Nodes.
Examples of a WaveNet network structure:
CN = WaveNet Central Node (RS232 / RS485)
RN = WaveNet Router Node (RS485 / radio 915 MHz)
RP = WaveNet Repeater Node (radio 915 MHz)
LN = WaveNet Lock Node
