Description Coupled with the same VOIP technology used with the RVON-8, the RVON-I/O can take legacy analog audio and convert it to digital VOIP audio. Being able to convert analog audio systems to digital VOIP audio, the RVON-I/O expands the boundaries of digital audio to include analog conversion.

I/O using a compatible keypanel (KP-32, KP-632, KP-832, and KP-812) connected serially to I/O Port 8 on the back of the RVON-I/O. IP Configurations are made from the keypanel service menu. Note, you must have keypanel firmware version 2.02 or higher to configure the IP Address.

Optional: On the ADAM CS and the Zeus, connect pins 3, 6, and 9 to sheild. DB-9 Crossover Cable Connection Diagram FIGURE 2. RJ-12 to DB-9 Crossover Cable Connection Diagram DB-9 F RJ-12 To RVON-I/O To Matrix RJ-12 to DB-9 Crossover Cable Connection Diagram FIGURE 3.
The RVON-I/O can operate in one of two modes, LOCAL mode or REMOTE mode. When operating in LOCAL mode, key- panels are directly connected to the RVON-I/O. For example, a KP-32 is connected serially to the RVON-I/O, which is con- nected via Ethernet to the RVON-8.
To reset the IP Address to default on the RVON-I/O, do the following: On the front of the RVON-I/O unit, push and hold buttons 1 and 2, then push the RESET button. Hold the buttons in for 15 seconds or until all the LED lights blink rapidly.
On the back of the RVON-I/O, put DIP switch 1 in the CLOSED position (Remote Mode). Power ON the RVON-I/O unit. Connect the matrix system to the RVON-I/O (I/O ports), using a DB-9 crossover cable. See page 6 for the different connection diagrams.
On the back of the RVON-I/O, put DIP switch 1 in the CLOSED position (Remote Mode). Power ON the RVON-I/O unit. Connect the Matrix to the RVON-I/O (via I/O ports), using a DB-9 crossover cable. See page 6 for the different connection diagrams.
NOTE: To see actual Telnet commands, see “RVON-I/O Command Table” on page 25. Once you are finished configuring the RVON-I/O, type ACTIVATE into the command prompt to activate the configuration setup on the RVON-I/O Serially connected Desktop PC Serial Pass-Through system diagram FIGURE 4.

TVON-I/O will be changed from analog to digital audio (and vice versa). The same holds true for the upper portion of the graphic, where the audio coming from the RVON-I/O going towards the Zeus is converted to analog.

System Diagrams Trunking with RVON-I/O - When you trunk two intercom systems together using two RVON-I/O’s, you FIGURE 8. can configure one as Remote and the other as Local. However, remote to remote setup is the preferred system setup for trunking.
J21 must be jumped from pins 1 to 2 to select UART B for RS485 RVON-1 keypanel operation. J2 Connector The RVON-1 card is designed to be used with either a keypanel or an RVON-I/O card. The J2 connector mounts the RVON-1 card onto a keypanel.
Setup IP Addresses There are three ways in which the IP Address can be set on the RVON-I/O; via a keypanel, through Telnet, or using the Serial Debug Port. If you are using a keypanel to set the IP Address of the RVON-I/O, you must use a KP-32, KP-632, KP-832, or a KP-812.
Configuration NOTE: Press PGM to skip over any octet that does not need modification. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the entire IP Address is entered. Press PGM. The Netmask menu item appears. NOTE: Once you have entered the IP Address, you will then enter the Netmask. The Netmask is a string of numbers similar to an IP Address, except that it masks or screens out the network port of an IP Address so that only the host computer part of the address remains (for example, 255.255.255.0).
Configure the IP Address Using Telnet NOTE: In order to use Telnet to set a new IP Address for you RVON-I/O, you must know the existing IP Address. If you do not know the existing IP Address, you can reset the IP Address. See “Configure the IP Address Using Telnet” on page 19.

To Display settings for the RVON-I/O, do the following: Open a Command Prompt application session. At the prompt type TELNET <IP Address> (The IP Address is the existing IP Address assigned to the RVON-I/O). Figure 2. Press Enter.
Configure the IP Address Using the Serial Debug Port NOTE: In order to use the Serial Debug Port to set the IP Address for your RVON-I/O, you must know the intended IP Address. Also, you must make sure DIP switch 2 is not enabled (CLOSED).
Configure RVON-I/O Using Telnet and Serial Port IMPORTANT: Because the RVON-I/O is shipped with a default IP Address it may not be accessible on the network. The IP Address should already be configured before attempting to try to connect through Telnet. To set the IP Address, see “Setup IP Addresses”...

Setup IP Addresses At the prompt, type TELNET <IP Address> (The IP Address is the IP Address assigned to the RVON-I/O). Figure 6. Press Enter. The RVON login screen appears. Figure 7. In the login field, type the RVON login (default = telex).

Address of the destination GPI/O pass-through port. 1 Keypanel (Single Port) Mode:In 1 Keypanel mode, also referred to as single port mode, all GPI/O on the RVON-I/O are associated with only one keypanel. Associating the GPI/O with a keypanel allows you to access/address the GPI/O in UPL Statements.
RVON-I/O B is connected to Zeus ports 3 and 4 on RVON-I/O ports 1 and 2. Because the Zeus cannot differentiate either of the RVON-I/O ports 1 and 2, it is necessary to adding an address to the ports: •...

RVON-I/O B If you are using Cronus or AIO-16 with RVON-I/0 in Remote mode for keypanels, you will still have to set a panel poll ID. This is because the RVON-I/O has a default panel poll ID of 0 (zero). This must be changed to a non-zero number.
NOTE: In this example, the RVON-I/O is directly connected to the ADAM Intercom System with an RVON-8 installed. This example installs a keypanel on the first port of an RVON-I/O that connects back to the first channel of the RVON-8.
At the prompt, type set channel 0 dest_type 0 (this tells the RVON-I/O it is connecting to an RVON-8). Press Enter. At the prompt, type set channel 0 dest_chan 0 (this tells the RVON-I/O it is connecting to channel 0 of the RVON-8). Press Enter.
Page 39
Type the set panel 0 poll_id 1 and press Enter. This tells the RVON-I/O channel that is connection back to a matrix port with a poll id address of 1, por 1,9,17,25, etc.). Type set panel 0 baud 9600 and press Enter.
