Local area network options (Two Main Repeater Systems)
Option #1:
Wired/Wi-Fi connection through Wi-Fi router
Main Repeater
Subnet 1
Main Repeater
Subnet 2
Example A
IP address DHCP
subnet mask DHCP
IP address 192.168.1.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP range 192.168.1.100-150
DHCP enabled
RadioRA 2 Main Repeater 1
IP address DHCP
subnet mask DHCP
RadioRA 2 Main Repeater 2
IP address DHCP
subnet mask DHCP
This is fastest way to setup your system. Every device will use DHCP and the router allocates IP addresses.
Use this on jobs where you don’t want to walk back and forth between devices and PC when activating
devices. The Wi-Fi access of the laptop will allow you to carry your laptop around during activation.
Example B
IP address DHCP
subnet mask DHCP
IP address 192.168.1.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP range 192.168.1.100-150
DHCP enabled
RadioRA 2 Main Repeater 1
IP address 192.168.1.3
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
RadioRA 2 Main Repeater 2
IP address 192.168.1.4
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
In this example, the PC uses DHCP and the Main Repeaters utilize static IP addresses. The IP address on
each Main Repeater should be configured as static when the Main Repeaters are accessed via integration
using telnet. Why? Because a static IP address won’t change and the integration device, like a touch screen,
will always point to that IP address.
Note: Qualified Level 2 (L2) dealers/installers can upgrade their software to provide support for a
200 device system by enabling the addition of a second main repeater subnet to the system. For
questions on how to become a qualified L2 dealer/installer, please contact your local Lutron®
representative.
