BrownOut Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I thought ELLs can only transfer data at half the speed of a wired LOR network. If he was to use ELLs, wouldn't he need twice as many networks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default is "Average", which is 56kbps. "Slower" is 19.2kbps, and "Faster" is 112kbps.All controllers will automatically detect the speed of the network, but an ELL will not. It must be configured to the same speed as the network. The ELL (current version) only supports 19.2k and 56k.This year, I expanded to 2 networks. The "South" network is wired and will serve 3 houses this year. The "North" network uses an ELL to reach across the street, for hopefully another 3 houses. I used 1 CCR last year, on the "North" network, but I mainly used macros, so the network load was light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
