2 Product-specific safety instructions
WARNING
Personal injury or damage to property due to non-redundant safety
concept
The protective functions of your WaveNet system are only one element of
an entire safety concept. They are not suitable as the only protection
against hazards such as fire, burglary or similar.
1. Make use of redundant systems to protect against your individual risks
(burglar alarms, fire alarms and the like).
2. Have a technical risk manager (Certified Security Manager or the like)
create and evaluate a security concept.
3. Please pay particular attention to relevant regulations on escape and
rescue routes.
WARNING
Impairment or failure of protective functions due to changed conditions
The activation of the protection functions in RingCast is based on wireless
connections and Ethernet connections. Wireless connections in particular
can be affected by changing environmental conditions (see
Radio network
[}21] und Challenges in wireless networks [}24] ). This also influences
the activation of the protective functions in the RingCast and can jeopard-
ise the safety of persons and property that are additionally protected by
the protective functions in the RingCast, for example.
1. Test the protective functions at least once a month (see RingCast
function test [}136] ).
2. If necessary, also observe other guidelines or regulations that are
relevant for your locking system (especially for escape and rescue
routes and fire protection. You are solely responsible for ensuring
compliance with these guidelines and regulations).
WaveNet (Manual) 2. Product-specific safety instructions
6 / 210

WARNING
Change in the sequence of emergency functions due to malfunctions
SimonsVoss and "Made in Germany" stand for maximum safety and reliab-
ility. In individual cases, however, malfunctions of your devices cannot be
ruled out. This may pose a risk to the safety of persons and property, which
are additionally protected by the protective functions in the RingCast.
1. You should test your devices at least once a month (see Device function
test [}178] Shorter intervals may also be required according to other
regulations concerning your overall system).
2. Test the protective functions at least once a month (see RingCast
function test [}136] ).
NOTE
Redundant protection of the network infrastructure
In addition to SimonsVoss security measures, the network infrastructure in
which you use WaveNet must also comply with current security standards.
1. You can meet these security standards by, for example using virtual
networks or active network monitoring (the list does not claim to be
complete).
2. talking to your IT infrastructure specialist.
NOTE
Exclusion of liability for the consequences of changed environmental
conditions
Ambient conditions can change and, despite regular testing, can interfere
with the RingCast and its protective functions (see
Radio network [}21]
und Challenges in wireless networks [}24] ). Neither SimonsVoss Tech-
nologies GmbH nor the product itself has influence on changing environ-
mental conditions. The stability of the ambient conditions is a functional
prerequisite. Therefore, the failure of protective functions can result in per-
WaveNet (Manual) 2. Product-specific safety instructions
7 / 210

sonal injury and damage to property. SimonsVoss Technologies GmbH
shall not assume any liability for personal injury and material damage due
to changing environmental conditions.
1. Record the current ambient conditions and the current signal quality
during the project planning to be carried out (see
Signal quality [}23]
und Check signal quality [}171] , see snapshot).
2. Ensure by continuous monitoring that the ambient conditions do not
change unexpectedly.
3. Record the current ambient conditions and the current signal quality
during the acceptance test to be performed (final snapshot).

4 WaveNet system
You can network SimonsVoss locks (locking cylinders, SmartHandles and
SmartRelays) in a number of different ways and thus manage them
centrally. WaveNet is the most advanced and convenient way to manage
and monitor larger locking systems with many locks.
WaveNet (online) Virtual networking (vir-
tual) No networking (offline)
Functional
principle
Data transmission with
networked WaveNet
devices (see
Transmis-
sion paths [}13] and
Devices [}19] ).
Data transmission with
identification media (ex-
cept programming data).
Data transmission with
programming devices.
Extension
WaveNet devices are
connected via various
transmission media. All
types of data are trans-
mitted using these trans-
mission media.
In a virtual network, cer-
tain data is transferred to
the identification media
using a gateway (entries
in the blacklist). If you
operate this identification
media on a virtually net-
worked locking device,
the data is transferred to
the locking device.
Locking devices that are
not networked can only
exchange data with the
programming device. You
must go to the locking
devices with the pro-
gramming device.
Programming
effort Low. Low.
Effort depends on the
size of the locking sys-
tem.
Small locking system:
Low effort.
Medium locking
system: Medium
effort.
Large locking system:
Extensive effort.
Transmission
speed of the
data exchange
Immediately. Data ex-
change with different
transmission media.
Speed between gateway
and locking devices
highly dependent on the
intensity of use of the
locking devices. Identific-
ation media are trans-
mission media - no data

WaveNet is a dedicated network that you can install and use in building
automation with just a few cables. If you want to retrofit WaveNet, you can
also use existing building networks such as a LAN. This is why WaveNet is
not only suitable for equipping new buildings with a locking system (e.g. for
flexibly used room units). WaveNet is also particularly suitable if you want
to manage and control your existing SimonsVoss 3060 locking system
online in existing buildings.
Networking types can be freely combined with one another as an
alternative to full networking. For instance, you can virtually network the
doors of the outer shell (= building envelope) and particularly critical locks
(for example on server room doors) with your WaveNet and all other
locking devices.
You can choose from various devices and transmission media depending
on your specific situation (see
Transmission paths [}13] ). Data
transmission in WaveNet largely depends on the transmission medium.
With your WaveNet and the IO functions (see I/O configuration and
protection functions [}68] ), you can optimise security or the precautions
against danger levels far beyond the level of a mechanical locking system.
NOTE
WaveNet training and planning
WaveNet is a comprehensive solution that can be very well tailored to your
requirements. If you want to fully exploit the potential of your WaveNet,
you can attend a SimonsVoss Technologies GmbH WaveNet training
course. You can also plan your WaveNet project together with a Simons-
Voss technician and benefit from their many years of experience.

4.3 Devices
Devices that can be used as network components in WaveNet basically
have two independent interfaces (first and second letter according to
router type,
RouterNodes [}14] and LockNodes [}15] ). You are therefore
able to connect two network segments with different transmission media.
RouterNodes connect two network
segments with (different) transmis-
sion media (see
Transmission paths
[}13] ) with each other.
LockNodes connect a lock to a net-
work segment. Depending on the
version, the LockNode is connected
to the lock either wirelessly (LN.R
and LN.C) or physically (LockNode
Inside).
With the exception of the computer, each WaveNet device is assigned its
own address and a network ID that is the same for all devices. The
assignment of the network ID makes your WaveNet unique and
distinguishable from other devices that may be within range.
4.3.1 Computer
Computers play two roles in WaveNet:
As a server with an LSM database
As a client with LSM interface
If the server and the clients are connected via an existing network, then you
can access the WaveNet components from both the server as well as the
client. This allows you to span your WaveNet over long distances, including
various buildings, despite physical separation. Special software for the
communication nodes must be installed on the server (CommNode). The
communication nodes are the connection for the WaveNet devices.
You can use different interfaces on your computer:
Ethernet
Serial (RS-485, EOL)
WaveNet (Manual) 4. WaveNet system
19 / 210

Serial (USB, EOL)
4.3.2 RouterNodes
RouterNodes are the backbone of your network. RouterNodes allow you to
transmit data in WaveNet right up to the LockNodes. The LockNodes then
take over further communication for locking.
The new generation of RouterNodes (=RN2) is a further development of
the previous generation of RouterNodes (=RN) and offers the following
advantages:
Easy firmware updates (40.1 and higher) with OAM tool (see Updating
firmware [}32] )
IO interfaces directly on the terminal block
Extended selection of cables (use of own cables is possible)
Extended power supply options
RN2.ER.IO
This RouterNode supports Ethernet and Radio (=868 MHz).
4.3.3 LockNodes
LockNodes allow you to connect your locking devices to your WaveNet.
LockNodes are available as inside versions for many locking devices (see
LockNodes [}20] ). These LockNodes are installed inside the existing
locking device and are invisible from the outside. Alternatively, you can use
external LockNodes and install them visible or concealed (for example in a
flush-mounted box) near the locking device.
Installing internal LockNodes ("Inside")
Information on the installation of the internal LockNodes can be found in
the short instructions for the respective LockNodes.
