IEEE 802.15.4 Communication

Presentation

IEEE 802.15.4 is a wireless networking standard for remote control and sensor applications.

The maximum number of supported wireless devices which can be connected to a Wireless Panel Server is as follows:

• Up to 3 HeatTag sensors

• Up to 15 PowerTag Energy sensors if no HeatTag sensors connected

• Up to 10 PowerTag Energy sensors if one or several HeatTag sensors are connected

• Up to 15 wireless indication auxiliaries for ComPacT NSX and ComPacT NSXm

• Up to 15 Acti9 Active

For information about the supported devices, see the detailed topic.

The wireless communication devices provide compact and high-density metering solution with numerous and accurate data for building systems. These wireless devices can send temperature, humidity, energy, power to the Wireless Panel Server .

Wireless Devices Installation

To help ensure reliable communication, the wireless devices should not be installed further than three columns away from the column where the Wireless Panel Server is installed.

Security Feature

The IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communications are encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC) 128-bit encryption that helps ensure integrity and confidentiality of data exchanged through the wireless network.
