Network Question

Question - How many computers can be connected to the Access Easy Controller at the same
time?
Answer - Typically, only one computer is connected to the Access Easy Controller at a time.
However, the controller will continue to provide satisfactory performance with two concurrent
user sessions running.
Bosch Security Systems recommends that concurrent controller logins be limited to two to
provide rapid response to user requests for information. While the controller will handle more
than two concurrent logins, the users may notice degradation in the speed with which screen
pages are drawn when there are multiple simultaneous logins to the controller.
Question - What is the maximum cable length between the Access Easy Controller and the net-
work hub to which it is connected.
Answer - Since this cable is industry standard category-5 Ethernet cable, the length is limited
to 100 metres. Bosch Security Systems recommends that you do not exceed this cable
length. If a longer cable run is needed, then Ethernet extenders should be used to increase
the distance.
For a UL compliant installation, the following installation guidelines must be followed.
The controller must be installed in the same room as the network jack or hub.
