Which ievo Interface Boards can be used on which sites?

If you have a site with existing REV3 equipment and the requirement is to add more ievo readers, they must use REV4S boards (IEVO-MB08K). 

REV4 boards (IEVO-MB10k or IEVO-MB50K) CANNOT be used.

Brand new installations will only use the REV4 boards. 

If you are replacing a REV3 reader or board, please contact sales to verify the requirements.
