What is Nexus?

The Alien Nexus multiplexor system enables plug & play deployment of up to 32 added read points / read zones to a single ALR-F800 series RFID fixed reader.

Continuing the Alien hallmark of ease of configuration, use and scalability, Nexus connects is able to be configured and operated using standard Alien Reader Protocol (ARP) commands, thus eliminating the need to have custom / special software written and maintained at additional cost.

Nexus consists of:

  • ALX-2530 Controller providing up to 4 Multiplexor connections
  • Each ALX-2525 Multiplexor (MUX) allows up to 8 antenna connections
  • The ALX-2530 Controller connects and powers up to 2 Output and 4 Input peripherals
  • Choice of 3 lengths of antenna coax cable and Controller cable for flexibility of antenna & component placement without need for service loops and excess cable management
