Let’s talk a little about the structure of the E2D system.
As you should know the basic unit is a Vertex. When you start commissioning we recomend connecting it to a LAN network. When you connect more Vertexes to your LAN network they will join your first Vertex in a Cluster.
So a Vertex Cluster is a system made out of up to 25 Vertexes connected to one LAN network. Diferent Clusters will have diferent names, which we call Cluster UID or CUID. So all Vertexes in one Clutser will have the same CUID.
A Vertex group consists of one or more Vertexes inside one cluster. They communicate with each otherwith peer to peer (server/client) communication. A Vertex controller in a group ‘sees’ (knows only of the existence of) other Vertexes in the same group.

Communication between groups is still possible

, but may be slower. You can create up to 1 groups. Using groups is an optimization of communication, where you can separate and limit communication between floors, areas, etc.
...
Vertex cluster is a system of up to 25 Vertex controllers. Communication between clusters is done via TCP/IP. All Vertexes in one cluster share the same cluster ID - CUID (a Node.js based identifier with collision-resistant communication). Vertexes in a cluster can be divided into groups.
| Info |
|---|
Most sites have only one cluster on the LAN, if your site has more than 25 controllers, we recommend contacting support for configuration advice. |
How to manage a cluster?
To manage your cluster enter NetConfig: http://VERTEX_IP/netconfig/home
...
After that, you will see all units which you want to configure as groups. You have 15 Vertex groups in one network, so you can create up to 15 stand alone Vertex groups.
| Info |
|---|
Vertex group in netconfig is NOT the same as vertex group in GUI/Node-RED. Vertex group in netconfig is a group of Vertex controllers. Vertex group in GUI/Node-RED is a group of luminaires. |
