  • Page 25: Chapter 3 : System Overview

    System Overview System Description A ROAMEO wireless intercom system consists of two types of devices: a wireless beltpack (TR-1800) and an access point (AP-1800). The ROAMEO system can be configured for anything from small systems (one access point and a few beltpacks) to a large system (10 access points and up to 40 beltpacks).
  • Page 26: Access Points

    26 System Overview ROAMEO System Access Points The ROAMEO AP-1800 converts DECT signaling to the OMNEO protocol, Audinate’s Dante digital high-quality audio transport over IP. AP-1800 units are physically connected via the Ethernet network to an ADAM or ADAM-M matrix using an OMI card .
  • Page 27: Roaming

    ROAMEO System System Overview 27 Roaming The ROAMEO system allows beltpacks to move between the radio coverage area of one AP-1800 to the radio coverage area of another AP-1800. This is called roaming. Roaming is monitored and maintained by the system of access points, making it transparent to the user.
  • Page 28 28 System Overview ROAMEO System IMPORTANT: It is important if more than six wideband or ten narrowband access points are used to cover the same area that all the access point be placed in a location where they can detect each other. High Density Roaming FIGURE 7.
  • Page 29: Home Connections

    ROAMEO System System Overview 29 Home Connections IMPORTANT: When configuring home connections, remember to assign the configured access point channels to the OMI card in the Matrix (see “Connecting the Access Point to the Intercom” on page 59). Each access point channel is a bi-directional OMNEO channel for audio, command, and control with the matrix. For a wideband system (CODEC G.722), there are five access point channels available to assign BPIDs.
  • Page 30: Home To Visitor Roaming

    30 System Overview ROAMEO System Home to Visitor Roaming When a beltpack roams from its Home AP to a Visitor AP, a new OMNEO connection is made between both access points. However, before the new connection’s OMNEO channel is used, the new DECT RF connection must be confirmed as good. The new DECT RF connection is made before breaking from the old connection.

  • Page 39: Chapter 4 : Site Survey

    Site Survey Description Site Survey is the application (standard on the TR-1800) used to plan and design the ROAMEO system. Site survey provides crucial information on roaming coverage. With the ROAMEO site survey application, finding coverage areas for access points, even when obstacles are encountered, such as metal walls, reinforced concrete, metal-coated glass, etc. is easier to accomplish.
