A network bridge consists of two functionally and electrically independent systems. Each system
consists of a communication interface and microcontroller, powered by the ELV C-Bus power from the
networks to which it is connected.
Each Network Bridge provides optically isolated communication between sub-networks, so the
reliability of the overall system will not be impaired by introducing bridges. Refer to the illustration in
Figure 2

NOTE *The Multipoint to Multipoint Interrogation (MMI) Wired C-Bus uses a status
reporting system (known as an MMI), which provides automatic detection and
correction of discrepancies between the states of grouped inputs and outputs.
This status reporting occurs at periodic intervals. Increasing the frequency of
status reporting decreases the response time in which errors are corrected.
However, it increases the amount of network communication traffic. If different
status report values exist in the same network, the smallest value is used. The
default value is 3 seconds.
