70 Module 124: Protege GX Hardware Overview | The Protege PCB Range
Protege Ethernet 2 Reader Expander (PRT-RDE2)
The RDE2 has all of the intelligence of the RDI2, but with an onboard Ethernet interface. It can be plugged
virtually anywhere on the network allowing the use of existing network infrastructure. The RS-485 ports can
then be used to extend the network in four directions for elevator control or 3rd party system integrations.
