Frequently Asked Questions
No, the RDNet Control 2 is exclusively designed to work with RCF devices that support the RDNet protocol. It won't be compatible with other brands or systems.
While it technically supports 64 devices, practical management becomes more challenging beyond 20-30, depending on network complexity and your monitoring needs.
It's a hardware interface, so it functions standalone, but you'll need a computer to initially configure the network and monitor data through the connected RCF devices' interfaces.
