A complete installation may contain many i.LON 600s and PCs – all sharing a

ONWORKS/IP channel. Because the LONWORKS/IP channel can exist on any IP network,

a system may now span the entire globe as easily as it once spanned a single building, as

shown in Figure 13

Note: A single LONWORKS/IP channel may contain up to 256 LONWORKS/IP devices. If

your installation requires more than 256 LONWORKS/IP devices, you must create multiple

LONWORKS/IP channels and bridge the IP channels using i.LON 600s (models 72602 or

72604) configured as repeaters.
