Basically, to connect your installation to Glamox Connect you need an Access point as well as a gateway(s) connected to your local installation.

The access point is the one point connected to Glamox Connect. The access point communicates to the gateway(s) on the local network.

Components

  1. Access point - Access point: LMS CONNECT RevPi Core3+ATLAS

  2. Local gateways to your systems:

    1. Ethernet2Dali (E2D) - LMS E2D VERTEX APC 3 (if you already have it in your installation, you don’t need to add another one) with internet connection

    2. Wireless Zigbee - LMS Zigbee Gateway

    3. DALI Complete - LMS CONNECT DALI/TCP GATEWAY

  3. Ethernet switch ports for all access points - you can use LMS E2D IND SWITCH

  4. Internet connection

Glamox Connect monitors luminaires as long as they are powered. If you use the manual power switch, the luminaires will be flagged as missing (Maintenance issue and alert). To avoid this, do NOT mount monitored equipment on a power line with "manual" power switch.

Gateways limits

There is no hard limit to the number of gateways to 1 access point but recommendations are as follows:

  • Ethernet2Dali - max 25 gateways (one cluster) per access point

  • Wireless Zigbee - max 10 gateways per access point

  • DALI Complete - max 8 gateways per access point

The gateways do not require any physical connection to the access point. The Access point communicates over TCP/IP to all connected gateways.
