Network configuration
OmniTrax Product Guide Page 227
Figure 195: illustrates a Silver Network comprised of 10 OmniTrax processors, an UltraWave
microwave sensor, an XField electrostatic field sensor and a FlexPS fence disturbance sensor.
Each OmniTrax processor uses a different communication/sync setting, based on their location
and connection details.
OmniTrax 1 is isolated and does not require synchronization with the other processors. OmniTrax
11 is the sync master for OmniTrax processors 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10. OmniTrax 12 and 13 are also
isolated from the other processors and need only be synchronized as a pair with OmniTrax 13
serving as the sync master for OmniTrax 12. The UltraWave, XField and FlexPS processors join
the network loop through an NIC data tap at OmniTrax 4.
