7 The Silver Network
Silver Network overview
The Silver Network provides the communication backbone for Senstar’s line of perimeter intrusion
detection sensors and I/O devices. The Silver Network implements a point-to-point communication
system using a ring topology.
The Silver Network supports up to 60 security devices (network nodes). Each device integrates a
regenerative repeater, which retimes the data before passing it on to the next node. This enables a
widely distributed security network using full duplex communication over EIA-422 twisted-pair
copper wire, multi-mode fiber optic cable, single-mode fiber optic cable, or mixed media (copper/
