Each NAE monitors and controls LonWorks field devices connected to its single LonWorks trunk. The LonWorks FT-10 trunk from the NAE is a single network segment, supporting up to 64 nodes without a repeater. Adding a physical repeater to the trunk allows the NAE to support 127 nodes on a trunk. Depending on the hardware model, the NAE can support up to 255 nodes if LonWorks routers are used on the trunks. Optimum performance is achieved using a maximum of 100 nodes or 1,000 Network Variables (NVs). The NAE supports up to 5,000 total objects, depending on the hardware model.
