NETWAVE WIRELESS SERVER
Use the NetWave Server (AXR-NWS) to link 2-way NetWave compatible
wireless touch panels, such as the ViewPoint NetWave Color Passive Touch
Panel (VPN-CP), to an Axcess or NetLinx®system network. Each NetWave
Server manages up to 16 different wireless devices at the same time and
up to 16 NetWave Servers can be used in the same AMX Control System.
The NetWave 2.4 GHz RF digital spread-spectrum signal assures trouble-
free wireless operation.
The AXR-NWS can be installed on any flat surface or rack unit using an
optional Rack Mount Kit (AC-RK). This transceiver is capable of distributing
16 Device Addresses, in any combination, to communicating ViewPoint
Touch Panels, with each AXR-NWS allowing control of up to 1020 channels
per ViewPoint.
