1.2.5 Modes and Actions
Alarms can be escalated using the modes and actions option. This will allow
you to set up time schedules (modes) and specific alarm responses (actions)
for each device category.
1.3 Radius Server Components
1.3.1 Radius Server
The Radius server is a Windows XP embedded server typically connected to
the local area network (LAN) to allow existing users to view and administer the
Radius system on their workstations.
The Radius server includes four serial ports, one Ethernet port, six USB ports
and four analog telephone jacks.
• The Radius server requires 110VAC power with an uninterrupted power
supply and an ethernet connection.
1.3.2 Network Coordinator
The network coordinator manages signals between the wireless end devices
in the Radius system and the Radius server.
• The network coordinator requires 110VAC power.
• Generally speaking, the network coordinator should be mounted in an
elevated position, away from metal.
• The network coordinator should be mounted no more than 25 feet away
from the Radius server.
1.3.3 High Power Repeater
The high power repeater intelligently amplifies transmissions from any
Inovonics EchoStream end device, while ignoring background noise. Virtually
any number of repeaters can be added to a system, scaling the system size as
needed.
• The high power repeater requires 110VAC power.
Radius can also use the high power repeater network to provide the
approximate location of wireless end devices sending alert signals.
