Description
The WAVES over IP (WoIP) Mass Notification System (MNS), part
of the ALERiTY integrated platform, is comprised of a collection
of secure, robust and reliable Ethernet communication devices,
IP Communicators (IPC). Wired directly to a LAN or through its own
private network, the IPC sends audible, visual and data messages
via an RTP multicast stream. It provides wired connections between
IPCs and/or Ethernet wireless devices (RADIO-900M). The IPC
complies with relevant IEEE 802.11 standards.
IPC
Each IPC unit receives and transmits signals from the LAN to
and from the IPC located at the WoIP Integrated Base Station
(IBS) and other IPC units within the network. Each IPC unit has a
unique address in the WAVES over IP network, and is individually
software controlled from the IBS. Up to 500 IPC units can be
individually addressed.
The IPC includes three digital input circuits and three commandable
relays (Normally Opened, Normally Closed). There are built-in
drivers for Power Out (aux power)/Line-level Audio In/Out/2 x 15 Watt
Amplifier Out. The IPC also offers 15 VDC isolated output.
The IPC provides supervision and monitoring at end nodes. Each
IPC unit conducts supervisory built-in self-tests (BIT) that are
reported periodically or on-demand to the WoIP IBS where they
are displayed and logged. Changes in supervised variables trigger
active conditions at the IBS and can be further programmed to
initiate messaging events throughout the system.
The IPC is housed in an extruded aluminum enclosure. It mounts
easily to an included back plate. The IPC unit is powered from either
AC or DC power sources. An optional battery backup unit (UPS-901)
can provide up to five hours of operation.
The IPC supports the highest network security standards with
encryption 256-bit AES and features dynamic role-based
password protection.
