2.0 Introduction
In this document, the components of the System 3060 (RF Locks, Smart Relays,
block locks) are commonly referred to as locks or doors. Unless stated otherwise, the
descriptions also apply to all the other components of the System 3060.
For customers with only a few doors and a building which is not too large, the best
way to program the System 3060 is with a laptop and a SmartCD programming tool,
especially if the configuration of the locks seldom needs to be changed.
With medium to large facilities in which lost keys, new transponder allocations and
organizational changes are more frequent, it makes sense to manage and maintain
the locking system by means of a network. Even in this case not all the doors need to
be networked and the system can also be configured for mixed operation with some
doors connected to the network and some off-line.
In a networked system, all of the maintenance and programming functions can be
conducted from a host computer, where it is also possible to obtain an overview of the
current status of the entire network. For example, locks and door status can be
requested centrally. Transactions such as door open, door closed, door locked,
battery warning, access list, break-in alarm can be tracked and acted on. This
enables you to respond to events directly from the central control room.
WaveNet is an easily installable ‘Plug-and-Play’ network for use in building
automation. Because it is wireless, it is especially suitable for the online management
and control of the SimonsVoss 3060 digital locking and organization system. It can be
used in new and existing buildings..
The transmission of data within a WaveNet network is largely independent of the
transmission medium. For instance, data can be transmitted via RS232 interfaces,
RS485 ports, TCP/IP, or by radio (915 MHz).
3.0 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 50 ft.).
•RS485 bus wiring for connecting individual WaveNet Routers functioning as
network backbones (cable type CAT5, shielded, cable length maximum
2,000 ft.).
•915 MHz radio (radio range approx. 150 ft. depending on building structure).
•B-field 25 kHz (radio range approx. 18 inches), for transmitting data between
the WaveNet Lock Node and a SimonsVoss RF lock (cylindrical, mortise,
SmartRelay, and furniture locks).
