WaveNet Radio Network 3065
Page 4
To summarise, networking enables the entire access control system to be configured
and monitored from one central computer. This enables the user to respond
immediately to critical situations.
2.0 Transmission media
WaveNet supports the following media for the transmission of data inside the system:
• Internet and Intranet via TCP/IP for transmitting data between different
computers within a network.
• RS232, for data transmission between a computer and the WaveNet Central
Node (cable length maximum 15 m).
• RS485 bus wiring for connecting individual WaveNet Routers functioning as
network backbones (cable type KAT5, shielded, cable length maximum
900 m).
• 868 MHz radio (radio range approx. 20 to 30 m depending on building
structure).
• B-field 25 kHz (radio range approx. 30 cm), for transmitting data between the
WaveNet Lock Node and a SimonsVoss lock (e.g. locking cylinders, Smart
Relays, and so on).
3.0 Usable radio wavelengths
Nowadays, what is referred to as modern radio technology for security engineering
should not be confused with the radio systems common in the automotive industry
and soon to be widespread in household communications. Radio transmission in
access control systems must satisfy the necessary security standards.
