XpressNET is a high-speed digital network based upon the industry standard
RS-485 protocol. The Atlas Commander uses XpressNET to communicate
between its high-speed components such as the HandCommand. XpressNET
communicates at 62.5 thousand bits per second (nearly 4 times faster than its
closest competitor). It is the highest performance network in widespread DCC
use and all its protocols are freely available to both the industry and the hob-
byist. XpressNET is an industrial based technology, which can be setup in an
infinite number of possibilities, making it simple to setup and control any lay-
out, large or small.
