Communicating with the Remote Gateway
A personal computer running Toro’s “Lynx” software is necessary to use the Remote Gateway. e Remote Gateway allows
Lynx software to control over 9,000 sprinkler heads with individual precision.
e Lynx computer is attached to a Field Interface Unit (FIU) which sends commands to the Remote Gateways throughout
the golf course.
ere are two ways for the FIU to communicate with Remote Gateways: by Wireline or by radio. is document shows
three typical layouts making use of one or both methods.
Layout 1 - Local
e Gateway is attached to the Field Interface Unit by a Wireline. e Gateway typically resides in the oce with the Lynx
computer and FIU.
