• LonWorks is a proprietary
• local operating
• network communications
• technology introduced in
• 1990 by Echelon Corp.
• It was developed to serve
• the residential, commercial
• andindustrial markets.
• LonWorks can communicate at high speed over
  numerous media including powerline carrier (PLC),
  twisted pair (TP), coax cable, fiber optics, RF
  and Infrared.

9

• LonWorks technology is incorporated in products
  through the use of a "neuron" chip and a
  transceiver chip (different transceiver chips are
  required for different media). These chips handle
  all the complexities of the communication
  protocol making the design of a LonWorks
  compatible product much easier. The neuron and
  transceiver chips are proprietary and must be
  purchased from Echelon Corp.
• LonWorks has already been used
• widely in industrial applications,
• but has not made many inroads
• into the residential market thus
• far due to the high cost of the products.

• CEBus Consumer Electronics Bus
• is a communications standard
• for in home networks developed
• by the Electronics Industry Association (EIA)
• and the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers
  Association
• Approved in 1992
• CEBus is an open standard which
• means anyone can develop products using this
  communications protocol. The standard covers
• communication via the 110V AC powerline (PLC),
• twisted pair (TP) cable, coax cable, RF and
  Infrared.

12

• CEBus allows any "node" to easily communicate
• with any other "node" irrespective of the medium
• through which the communication is sent.
• This allows CEBus products to use whichever
  medium might be most appropriate. Power Line
  Carrier (PLC) for light switches appliances,
  coax for video equipment, twisted pair for
  thermostats and IR RF for remote controls, are
  some possible examples
• They will all be able to easily communicate with
  each other through routers, brouters and data
  bridges which link the PLC, TP, Coax, IR and RF
  mediums together.

13
The primary advantage of CEBus over X10 is the
data transmission speed. CEBus transmits data at
10,000 bits per second regardless of the
transmission media. This enables devices to stay
"on-line" for a much shorter period of time
thereby minimizing collisions and producing more
instantaneous response. The disadvantages of
CEBus are the relatively few products currently
available and the very high cost of those
products.

• CEBus Powerline
  Communications Card
• This card fits in a 16 bit ISA slot of an IBM
  compatible PC
• Provides data communication and control of other
  CEbus devices at 10,000 bits per second over the
  AC powerline. Includes ISA card, powerline
  coupling module, Windows DLL driver, DOS TSR
  driver, C language API library with sample source
  code.

The Secret Of RadioRA's Superior Reliability -
The Repeater Reliability Times Two
While RadioRA Dimmers, Switches, and
Master Controls "talk" at
lightning speed, the RadioRA
Repeater works steadily in the
background - repeating every command.
Absolutely ensuring error free
communications.

• AUDIO / VIDEO
• You can even restrict listening, viewing,
  volume, and distribution choices at certain
  stations, such as a keypad in a child's room
• You can record .wav files to be played when an
  event occurs

• INTERNET SERVICES
• You can create personalized Internet selections
  to be automatically downloaded at regular
  intervals to the PHAST Landmark System.
• Your favorite news, weather, sports, stock
  reports, or other information are immediately
  displayed on your television screen at the click

• LIGHTING SCENES and MODES
• Modes to suit personal tastes, times of day,
  vacation schedules, work schedules, various
  activities
• Activate specific lighting modes by monitoring
  the state of certain parts of the system. For
  example, if your security system reports a "door
  open" condition, a certain lighting mode can be
  triggered.
