  • Page 5: Chapter 1 Introduction

    CHAPTER 1 Introduction Description of the RVON-8 Voice Over Network Card Installed directly into the ADAM Intercom frame, the RVON-8 provides voice over IP (Internet Protocol) communications for ® the RTS ADAM intercom family. In general, voice over IP means sending voice information in digital form using discrete packets rather than the traditional telephone network.

    Power...12.5w / 2.5 A at 5V Physical ...5.687” W x 11.024” L The RVON-8 card is hot-swappable and installs in any available slot in an ADAM Intercom System. It provides a single RJ-45 Ethernet connection for use with a 10 BASE-T or 100 BASE-TX network.

  • Page 7: Chapter 2 Installation

    When inserting the RVON-8 card into the ADAM system, the following considerations need to be made: • Gently insert the RVON-8 card into the correct slot. If the card is forced or twisted while inserting, a pin on the backplane could short or break causing the card to become inoperable.

  • Page 8: Addresses And The Rvon-8 Card

    Addresses and the RVON-8 Card Because the RVON-8 has an Ethernet interface, it is required to have a MAC (Media Access Control) address. This is a low level address that contains 48 bits. Do not confuse this address with an IP (Internet Protocol) Address. In order to be IP com- pliant, all cards must have a unique MAC ID when shipped from the manufacturer.

    Configuring the RVON-8 Card with AZedit Once the RVON-8 card is inserted into the Intercom, AZedit will automatically recognize the card. NOTE: Requires intercom firmware and AZedit software that supports RVON cards.
  • Page 10 The RVON-8 Configuration screen appears. From the RVON-8 drop down list, select the slot in which the RVON-8 card resides, if it is not already selected. In the IP Address field, enter the IP Address you have assign to the RVON-8 card.
  • Page 11 Configuring the RVON-8 Card with AZedit In the RVON-8 Channel drop down list, select the channel you want to use to communicate to another device across the network. In the Device IP Addr: field, enter the IP Address of the device to which you want to connect.

  • Page 12: Rvon-8 Connection Status Screen

    NOTE: To view the RVON-8 Connection Status screens make sure both AZedit and the RVON-8 card are on the same Ethernet network. The reason this is important is because the statistics are updated once per second. At this rate of dynamic update, a serial port could not pass this much data effectively.
  • Page 13 From the Channel drop down list, select the channel for which you want to view the status. Displays the type of device the RVON-8 card is connected to on the other end of the channel. Displays the IP Address of the device connected at the other end of the channel.
  • Page 14 The state of the connection. There are two connection states: Connected or Idle. Displays which end of the connection originated or terminated the call. Local: RVON-8 card Remote: device at the other end of the connection. Displays why the connection was terminated, for example, congestion, network error, local release, remote release.
  • Page 15 RVON-8 Connection Status Screen SCREEN ITEM Playout Buffer Displays how much audio can be received from the network before packets are lost. This is four times Size bigger than configured packet size. This is a static system setting. Nominal Displays how much audio is collected before playout begins. Playout begins at half the Playout Buffer Playout Delay Size, which is two times the configured packet size.
  • Page 16 Displays the number of DTMF (dual tone multiple frequency) relay packets transmitted and received. DTMF Relay Packets DTMF relay packets are a bandwidth and quality saving feature within the (Tx/Rx) RVON-8 card. Silence Detections Displays the number of times a silence detection packet has been sent or received. VAD (voice activity Packets (Tx/Rx) detection) must be enabled.
  • Page 17 RVON-8 Connection Status Screen SCREEN ITEM Invalid Headers Displays how many IP packets could not be parsed. Invalid MAC Address Displays how many invalid MAC addresses tried to connect. Invalid SSRC Displays the number of packets with an invalid SSRC.

    Master Controller. For this reason, verify the PC running AZedit is on the same network as the RVON-8 card. If it is not, AZedit will not be able to find the RVON-8 card. To test the connection, ping the RVON-card from a command line.
  • Page 19 Verify the version upgrade in the I/O Card Version Information Window is correct. WARNING!: Do NOT power down the frame or pull the RVON-8 card(s) from the frame until you have verified the new version information from AZedit. If the card loses power while reprogramming the on-board flash memory, the card may become unbootable, and my need to have its flash chips replaced.

  • Page 25: Basic Network Configuration

    Appendix A Basic Network Configuration Basic Network Configuration This section covers basic network configuration set-up and testing. Also covered are basic concepts and operations, including the difference between LAN and WAN networks and how IP Addressing is used. In a networked environment, such as a company, typically there are many computers connected together using a router or a switch.

  • Page 26: Wide Area Network

    A wide area network (WAN) connects two 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 largest WAN in existence is the Internet.

  • Page 27: Accessing The Wide Area Network (Wan)

    80 is used for HTTP traffic. When you type an address into the address bar of a web browser, your computer goes to find an IP Address for the url you are requesting (http://www.telex.com). To obtain this address, the computer contacts a DNS server (Domain Name Server).

  • Page 29: Ip Addresses

    Basic Network Configuration IP ADDRESSES If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS screen in a Windows screen. To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following: From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen. At the prompt, type ipconfig, then press Enter.

  • Page 30: Ping A Computer

    Pinging a computer on the network makes sure it is able to be “seen” 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 IP Address.

  • Page 32: Network Terminology

    A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names (for example, in the URL http:// www.telex.com, the domain name is the telex.com) into IP Addresses. The Internet is based on IP Addresses which are numeric and since domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. Every time a domain name is used it must go through the DNS server to be translated into an IP Address.
  • Page 33 Network Terminology A gateway is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. The gateway routes traffic from a computer to an outside network that is serving the web pages. For example, the gateway for a home computer is the ISP provider that connects the user to the Internet.
