The Trilogy Networx AL Generation Gateway, interfaces Networx locks with a PC network via a hardwire Ethernet connection. It is very similar in function to the original hardwired Networx Gateway Modules, but is enhanced with additional extended potential range, supporting up to seven (7) Expanders (model AL-IME2-EXP Expanders). Each Expander can extend the AL-IME2 Gateway’s coverage area by approximately 100 feet. Also both Gen. 2 Gateways and matching Expanders have a new modern styling, and three LED indicators, blending into any décor.
