Segments - WaveNet

Each RouterNode can reach LockNodes within a range. These areas can also overlap - a LockNode can therefore be located in several areas at the same time and could be addressed by several RouterNodes simultaneously. You therefore assign the LockNodes to a segment in the WaveNet Manager (see Adding Lock Nodes to WaveNet).

Network segments are identified by:

• Transmission medium (see Transmission paths)
• Ethernet (TCP/IP)
• 868 MHz
• WLAN (TCP/IP)
• USB
• RS-485 cable
• RS-232 cable
• Input-side segment address and output-side segment address
• GID=Group-ID → Slave or master address

Input and output segment

Each RouterNode has an input segment and an output segment, whereas each LockNode has only one input segment.

If in WaveNet, a RouterNode is to communicate with a LockNode (or another RouterNode), then the input segment of the LockNode (or the other RouterNode) must match the output segment of the RouterNode. You can read the segments from the WaveNet overview (see Overview), taking the network mask into account (see Addressing).
