IQNet Server/Client
Communication Overview
Allows a single Server Satellite with IQ pri-
mary communication connection (Cellu-
lar, Ethernet, etc.) to be shared with up to
255 Client Satellites via Radio and/or Con-
nection Module (CM) PE-Cable secondary
communication.
a. Utilizes lower cost IQNCCRS RS-232
Cartridges for Client Satellites.
b. Reduces yearly reoccurring com-
munication costs for systems using
Cellular communication.
c. Provides Normally Closed Master
Valve or Pump Start sharing be-
