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
Access point - LMS CONNECT RevPi Core 3 8GB
Local gateways to your systems:
Ethernet2Dali (E2D) - LMS E2D VERTEX APC 3 (if you already have it in your installation, you don’t need to add another one)
Wireless Zigbee - LMS CONNECT ZIGBEE GATEWAY PoE
DALI Complete - LMS CONNECT DALI/TCP GATEWAY
24 V power supply(s) - LMS CONNECT 24V 60W POWER
Ethernet switch ports for all access points and gateways - you can use LMS E2D IND SWITCH
Internet connection - you can use LMS E2D REMOTE ACCESS KIT as a GSM gateway
The Access point needs to be connected to 24 V power as well as ethernet connection.
Glamox Connect monitors DALI 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.
