Field Bus Network structure
Both transceiver and receiver are interconnected through CAT5 wiring and can be
connected to a host (e.g. a CrossCONNECT Access Point or a computer) and
communicate with this host using the Cross Point Field Bus Protocol.

Visitor counting
Visitor counting for an aisle is possible when bi-directional IR-based visitor counter
modules are integrated in the transceiver and receiver antennas.

and transmitter work in both directions.
The capabilities of an EAS system with visitor counter modules are much richer than a
system without visitor counter modules. Partly this extra functionality can be used by
using the AM systems as an autonomous system, but most extra functionality can be
added by connecting it to a CrossCONNECT Access Point.
