Distance The maximum distance recommended for a single Ethernet hardwired run is
100 meters (328 feet). Distances exceeding this length must employ a switch
or some type of repeater device within every 100 meters. DFS recommends
that for sites exceeding 200 meters from the controller to the furthest dispenser
(even with multiple switches/repeaters) or for systems requiring more than 2-3
switches/repeaters in the same line that a network engineer be used to design
and test the site. Home runs to a centralized switch are recommended
whenever possible to minimize the impact of a potential defective switch (or
repeater). Wireless modems can be used to handle long runs.
Site Layout The number of dispensers, the configuration of the dispensers, the on-site
hardware, and the desired method of connecting the dispensers together will
determine the Ethernet connections.
