Network Access Bridge
Notification
NAB
The WAVES Network Access Bridge (NAB) connects the WAVES
Integrated Base Station (IBS) with remote WAVES systems for expanded
coverage, control and monitoring.
Description
Often threats encompass multiple, geographically separated regions. To alert
people in different regions may require communicating to remote locations. To
address this, Cooper Notification enhanced its Mass Notification System (MNS),
WAVES (Wireless Audio Visual Emergency System) with Ethernet-enabled
Network Access Bridge (NAB).
The NAB acts as a bridge between the WAVES Integrated Base Station (IBS)
and a satellite WAVES system. NAB enables a single Cooper Notification MNS
installation to encompass areas that are beyond the range of a single RF network
by creating a dependent RF network at the remote location that is controlled by
the main IBS. The NAB is located at the head-end of the remote system and
consists of:
- Personal computer, running the NAB software (a Windows service)
- WAVES audio data unit (ADU) and a base transceiver unit (CRLU-201)
- Power supply
The NAB computer receives commands and digital streaming audio over an
Ethernet connection from the WAVES IBS and forwards those to the satellite
system through the appropriate communications controller and transceiver. It
also receives status and other reports from the satellite system’s nodes and
sends those back to the IBS. Since a NAB is Ethernet-based, it can extend the
range of WAVES communications to nodes distributed over a wide area with
unlimited distance. Each IBS can support enough NABs to cover virtually any
need.

Network Requirements
IT Requirements:
Type of Network Address:
Bandwidth:
WAVES depends on Microsoft Message Queuing and Microsoft .Net Remoting.
The NAB must be assigned a Static, Public, routable IP address visible to the associated
IBS and depends on Microsoft Message Queuing and Microsoft .Net Remoting. In addition, the following IP Ports must be open:
· UDP port 17861 (default)
· IP Port for audio client 6002 (default)
Routable IP (static), cannot be NAT’d (Network Address Translation)
200kBPS
Application Notes:
NAB and Primary/Act. Base Stations
IBS must have network access
IBS must have same IP address
Inactive IBS must be powered off
Microphone controlled
All Call does not function across nodes attached to network access bridge
