(non-online) connectivity with the host limits
the locks' ability to receive urgent commands
from the host. For instance, even with a 900

will you provide your customers with a solution but, with the money saved by eliminating
trenching and pulling wire, you will be able
to cover more doors for your customer at the
same cost.
