Support for VaiNet network segments, also known as large VaiNet.
Release date: October 2023
New features and improvements
The ability to configure VaiNet segments (four segments; A, B, C, and D) to enable the setup of large VaiNet systems. Each segment can accommodate up to 256 loggers, using up to 8 APs. The maximum network size can support up to 1024 data loggers.
| It is recommended to leave some unused connection capacity in each segment and not plan for a fully maxed out system. For more comprehensive planning guidance, see Guidelines for Large VaiNet Systems (M212596EN). |
