Q: Is RadioRA 2 appropriate for the size of my home?
A: A system with one main repeater can support up to 96 devices and 4 auxiliary repeaters to extend the radio frequency (RF) range. A two main repeater can support up to 192 devices and 8 auxiliary repeaters.
Q: What kind of third-party integration can be done with RadioRA 2?
A: RadioRA 2 can receive inbound Telnet command strings from third-party systems over the Ethernet. This protocol is public, so technically we can integrate with any system that has the ability to send this type of command. RadioRA 2 cannot send outbound commands over the Ethernet, however, it can generate contact closure outputs using a VCRX (RR-VCRX-WH) to control products such as garage doors and fountain pumps.
Q: Why cant my system find a main repeater on my network?
A: RadioRA 2 uses multicast to discover any main repeater on the network. If a router or firewall on your computer blocks the multicast, the repeaters will not be discovered. You can connect directly (bypass the router) or refer to your router manufacturer for configuration instructions. You can find instructions on establishing a direct connection and configuring your computer's firewall here.
