Does this unit need to be connected to a central station?

No the unit is self standing once programed. Very user friendly. No monthly monitoring fees ever...

No, it just needs a telephone line. Either tip and ring from the phone company (POTS) or connect using modem to internet telephone service provider.

No it does not, that is the beauty of this unit, you don't have to pay any monthly fees. It works well... my Dad busted his leg and used the mini microphone to talk to me 50 miles away.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

The base station has a power adapter and has to be pluged in to an outlet.Base station also has to be connected to the router which will require a power sourse.

Hello, no you must have a phone attached. Think of the unit as basically a Bluetooth speaker with a clock.

Yes the indoor unit needs to be centrally located to reach all areas with similar effect. You also need a 24000 BTU unit.

I don't think so. I found it useful to turn on stations selectively without opening the control box. If you want to turn the whole system on and off, just open the box and do it.

Not directly to it. You would need something connected to it with an input.

No. It's linked to the wall thermostat. Very nice unit though. Warm and quiet! We are happy with it. Electrician said it was an easy installation.

Not required, even if hooked up to a generator instead of city/county power. My refrigerator and freezer work fine as well as some battery chargers I had running off the dirty output of a poorly regulating generator but the UPS kept flickering on and off so I had to unplug it.

No, it does not have to be linked. But the unit did not work, as I expected and I returned it to Amazon. It did slightly enhance the signal but the signal speed was slower. But to be fair, I did not understand its use - I suggest you contact someone who is more knowledgeable before purchasing to ensure it will work the way you expect.

Can be directly connected , put a small fan on the backside of the internal ballast . The vents on the opposite side the light is on , it helps .

No. this unit needs to be connected to a battery. to connect to an outlet you would need an inverter to convert from ac to dc

No, it does not have to be connected. I think you can connect to the computer for updates, but we've never done it

You need to connect the AC power to power this 7 port hub. It come with the unit.
