number of CommNodes can be connected via the Intranet or Internet. This enables
what is known as ‘branch operation’; that means any number of branch offices with
local Central Nodes and associated subnetworks can be linked to a central office via
the Intranet/Internet.
Much easier to install (and correspondingly easier to manage) is the file-based LDB
locking system administration software from SimonsVoss, which, unlike LSM, does
not allow a direct integration of the Intranet/Internet transmission medium. Instead, a
central computer is connected directly to the Central Node of the WaveNet network.
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.
