The Trilogy Networx expander extends the coverage area of a generation 2 series AL-IME2 gateway to Trilogy Networx Locks within a PC network, allowing greater distances for the placement of up to a maximum rated capacity of 63 Networx locks per version 2 gateway. Used in place of additional gateways, each AL-IME2-EXP expander can extend the gen.2 gateway’s coverage area by approximately 100 feet. Typically introduced into the network when a gateway does not provide sufficient signal strength to a particular area, it is designed to extend coverage and thus facilitate communications with a wireless lock or a group of wireless locks. The AL-IME2-EXP expander must be used with a generation 2 AL-IME2 series gateway, but can be intermixed in an existing system that includes older “non-version 2” gateways. However, at least one version 2 gateway must powered and online before an AL-IME2-EXP expander will function within the network. AL-IME2-EXP expanders are more cost-effective and easier to wire than conventional gateways. They also provide a simplified ‘plug and play’ setup, where the Networx system automatically identifies all newly powered expanders and quickly self-determines the best wireless signal pathways. Up to 7 expanders can be added to support one generation 2 series gateway. Each gen. 2 gateway and a maximum of seven expanders can be addressed as one group. There are a total of 99 addressable groups supported (addressable by two rotary switches). Also both generation 2 gateways and matching AL-IME2-EXP expanders have a new modern styling, and three LED indicators, blending into any decor. The AL-IME2 expander is powered by an AC adapter/6VAC transformer.
