The site determines which hardware type will be used. Once a site has been added you will then be able to add a hub (or multiple hubs) to the site. Each hub supports up to 32 doors.

 

  1. A site may represent a business location, a floor of a building or any other grouping of hardware. The requirements for a site are as follows:
  2. Each site will need a minimum of one physical hub.
  3. All controllers on a site must be of the same hardware family, such as: Keri NXT or Keri NXT-MSC (mercury-powered).
