Determining the Master System From the Slave Systems By default, Cronus is set to operate in standalone mode. You will need a license file to link Cronus frames together. In order to link two (2) or more Cronus systems together, each must have the optional linking firmware installed. To purchase the firmware, contact RTS sales.
FIGURE 5. The Cronus intercom system has four (4) frames, one (1) Master and three (3) Slave stations (see system diagram on left) connected via coaxial cables (see cabling diagram at right). Each frame can support up to 32 ports, and each system can have a maximum of 128 ports (all four frames available).
Write Protect Flash Chips IC11 and IC12 (Config Flash) Populate jumper across pins 2 and 3. NOTE: If you have board 9030-7785-000, see “Cronus Master Controller Card 9030-7785-000” on page 93 for the Default Jumper settings. Technical Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Set Frame ID In a single frame Cronus system, the frame is always Stand Alone (or the Master frame). In a multi-frame system, the first time Cronus is powered on, each frame shows as Frame 1 and will need to be configured, either manually or by auto-config, to designate which frame it is.
Use the ENC1 knob to adjust the IN Gain. Use the ENC2 knob to adjust the OUT Gain. NOTE: You can change the gain levels in AZedit and see the results on Cronus almost immediately. For more information on gain levels, see Figure 2 on page 6.

To link more than one Cronus system together, you must have linking software installed on the system (normally, this is loaded at time of purchase). If you are adding a Cronus Intercom System to an existing Cronus matrix, you may need to load a license file on your existing system.
The PC must be running version 2.06.07 or later of AZedit and have an Ethernet card installed. Verify Cronus is connected to the PC using either a USB (universal) or RS-232 (ADAM standard) cable. The USB drivers can be found in the AZedit software directory (C:\Telex\AZedit|V20701|USB). You may only use one USB connection (front panel or back panel) at a time.
Download Firmware for Cronus When firmware is downloaded to Cronus, all the code is put on the Master Controller card. This includes code for the AIO cards. Therefore, because the Master Controller downloads the firmware for the system and the code for the AIO cards, the download time is extended while the Master Controller pushes the AIO code out to the appropriate cards.

Installed directly into the Cronus Intercom frame, the RVON-C provides voice over IP (Internet Protocol) communications for the RTS Cronus intercom system. In general, voice over IP means sending voice information in digital form using discrete packets rather than the traditional telephone network. The RVON-C delivers an integrated solution for connecting custom keypanels to the Intercom Matrix over standard IP networks by supporting eight (8) channels (ports) of audio in and out.
• When inserting the RVON-C card into the Cronus system, make sure to insert it into a compatible backcard. If the card is inserted into a incompatible backcard, undesirable results can occur.

APPENDIX A Basic Network Configuration Basic Network Configuration This section covers basic network configuration setup and testing. Basic concepts and operations, including the difference between LAN and WAN networks and how IP Addressing is used is covered. Typically, there are many computers connected together using a router or a switch in a networked environment, such as a company.
Cronus Local Area Network Diagram FIGURE 24. Wide Area Network A WAN (Wide Area Network) connects two (2) or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over a WAN. The WAN in existence is the Internet.
Cronus ACCESSING THE WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) As shown in Figure 26, the LAN IP Address, 10.2.100.X (192.168.X.X is another common address), as seen in . Most devices are shipped with these addresses as the default. It is recommended to use these addresses for LANs.

Cronus IP Addresses If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS window in a Windows-based environment and bring up the ipconfig window. To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following: From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt window.
Cronus Ping a Computer Pinging a computer on the network makes sure it is able to send and receive messages on the network. NOTE: You can also ping your RVON-8 card to verify that it is responding over the network by putting the cards IP Address in place of the computer’s IP Address.
Cronus POSSIBLE PITFALL WITH ROUTERS, GATEWAYS, AND SWITCHES Anytime computers communicate through routers, gateways, and switches, they must gain permission to the connection. Network interface devices can be configured to block specific outgoing requests, as well as incoming requests, based on the IP Address and/or port.
Cronus RVON Configuration RVON cards use ports for communication of audio and control packets. Because routers can be configured to block certain incoming and outgoing requests, you will need to open the following ports in your network to allow WAN connections to and from a Network Interface Device.
Cronus Network Terminology Bridges A bridge is a device that connects two LANs, or two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol. Sometimes called “transparent bridges, they work at the OSI model Layer 2. Simply put, they are not concerned with protocols. Their main job is to pass data to a destination address that is predetermined in the data packet.
Page 78
Cronus IP Address (Internet An IP Address is an identifier or numerical name for a computer or device on a network. Data Protocol Address) between computers are routed over the network using these addresses to identify the computer the message is being sent to and the computer the message is being sent from.The format of an IP Address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods.
APPENDIX B RVON-C Card Serial Port Programming RVON Serial and Telnet Commands RVON-C card programming can be done via direct serial or telnet connection. There are several physical connections to an RVON-C card. • Direct serial through custom debug cable (J7 6-pin bottom front). The customer debug cable always functions as the general purpose debug tool.
