4.2 TCP/IP Network Communication
The Ethernet 10/100Base-T Crossover Cable, a type of crossover network cable, is
mainly used for cascade hubs and switches, or used to connect two Ethernet
end-points directly (without a hub). Both 10Base-T and 100Base-T are supported.

4.3 RS485 Network Communication
1. RS485 communication wires are made of internationally accepted RVSP wires
(shielded twisted pairs), which prove effective to prevent and shield
interference. RS485 communication wires should be connected by means of
bus cascade instead of in a star form, to achieve a better shielding effect by
reducing signal reflection during communications.
2. A single 485 bus can be connected with 63 access control operator panels at
most, but preferably should be connected with less than 32.
