# Networking
|
|
Some devices on the station need to communicate with each other, and they do this by utilizing device networking.
|
|
With networking machines and devices can send arbitrary data between each other.
|
|
There are multiple networks that get used, such as the wireless and wired network.
|
|
Each network device has a frequency it receives on. PDAs for example, use the frequency: [color=green]220.2[/color]
|
|
|
|
## Device Lists
|
|
Some devices need to know what other devices to communicate with specifically.
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="AirAlarm"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
Air alarms for example require you to tell it which vents, scrubbers, sensors, and firelocks to interact with.
|
|
You do that by using the Network Configurator.
|
|
|
|
## Linking
|
|
If devices basic or still more advanced but need finer control of how and what connects to each other they will generally use device linking.
|
|
<Box>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="SignalSwitch"/>
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Airlock"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
With linking you can connect the outputs of a device like [color=gray]On[/color] or [color=gray]Off[/color] with the inputs of a device like the airlocks
|
|
[color=gray]Open[/color] or [color=gray]Close[/color] inputs.
|
|
The Network Configurator is also used for linking devices together.
