6 Indoor unit 256
In case of exceeding 256 indoor units, DMS
ignores them after initial tracking process.
The distance is called the network diameter.
Maximum number of repeater = 4
Ô Power failure protection
Even during a power failure, all important configuration and calculation data are stored in the non-volatile
memory.
Time setting is sustained during a power failure of 2 days with the help of the backup battery and reset after
2 days are elapsed.
Distance DMS and centralized controllers
Distance cannot exceed 1000 meter from the DMS to the end of the centralized controller.

Direct distance between DMS and hub/repeater (no use of switch technology)
Since DMS supports 10 Base-T Ethernet connection, direct distance from the DMS to the first repeater or upper-layer
device cannot exceed 100 meters (IEEE 802.3). The number of cascaded hub/repeaters in the network diameter
cannot exceed maximum 4 to extend communication length.
That is, the network diameter cannot exceed 500 meters.
Maximum length of each node a , b, c, d and e = 100 meters
