AL-IME2-PIE Expanders are cost-

best wireless signal pathways. Up to
7 Expanders can be added to one ver-

Why use AL-IME2-PIE Expanders?
Less costly, Expanders allow large coverage areas

Version
2
The
AL-IME2-PIE "version 2" Expanders (notice the
"2" in the model name) are the next generation of Net-
worx wireless devices. Because AL-IME2-PIE Ex-
panders only work with version 2 Gateways, a version
2 Gateway must be installed and operational in your
system for AL-IME2-PIE Expanders to function (AL-
IME2-PIE Expanders cannot communicate with old-
er "non-version 2" Gateways).

at least one new version 2 Gateway must be up and
running before an AL-IME2-PIE Plug-In Expander can
be used.

IMPORTANT: DL-Windows version 5.4.2 or later is
required to support version 2 Gateways and Expanders.
The AL-IME2-PIE Plug-In Expander is compatible with
Alarm Lock and Continental Access products. Refer to
the documentation supplied with your software for inte-
gration details.

EXPANDER LOCATION GUIDELINES
Once your version 2 Gateway location has been select-
ed, the next step is to determine where to install Ex-
panders. However, the following must be taken into
consideration:
panders. However, the following must be taken into
consideration:
Although wood and wallboard construction can have
little effect upon signal strength, concrete or brick can
reduce signal strength by up to 35%. Steel-reinforced
concrete or metal lath and plaster can reduce signal
strength as much as 90%!
