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. The RVON-I/O expands the boundaries of digital audio to include analog conversion. There are many applications in which the RVON-I/O can be used, such as: •...

DIP Switches DIP Switches DIP Switch 1: RVON-I/O Mode Default Position: OPEN OPEN Switch Position: CLOSED - Remote Mode There are two modes in which the RVON-I/O can run: LOCAL and REMOTE mode In LOCAL mode, keypanels are directly connected to the RVON-I/O. For example, a KP-32 is connected serially to the RVON-I/O which is connected via Ethernet to the RVON-8 in the ADAM system.

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.
Installation Reset the Current IP Address to the Default RVON-I/O IP Address The RVON-I/O is shipped with a default IP Address already configured on the unit. The default IP Address is 192.168.0.1, the default Netmask is 255.255.0.0, the default Gateway is set to zero. This feature is useful when using an RVON-I/O in the field (i.e.;...
In LOCAL mode, the keypanel is directly connected to the RVON-I/O through the use of a DB-9 serial cable. To setup an RVON-IO local mode system, do the following On the back of the RVON-I/O, put DIP switch 1 in the OPEN position (LOCAL mode).
Installation 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. NOTE: If you do not have a RVON-1 pre-installed, the KP-32 or the KP-812 must have the RVON-1 component installed prior to Remote setup (See the RVON-1 User Manual for details).

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. There are two sets of instructions to configure the IP Address from a KP-32, KP-632, KP-832 and 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).
Setup IP Addresses Tap the Select knob. The IP Address menu item appears. Tap the Select knob. The current IP Address appears. Enter the first number in the IP Address. This activates the first octet of the IP Address and clears the rest of the IP Address. Tap the Select knob.

Setup IP Addresses At the prompt, type dbgcmd to access the debug command screens. Figure 4. Press Enter. An MXP prompt appears. At the MXP prompt, type set rvon ip_addr 10.3.210.12 (this IP Address is for example purposes only). Press Enter. The IP Address is set for the RVON-I/O.
Configuration At the MXP prompt, set rvon ip_addr 10.3.210.20 (this IP Address is for example purposes only). Figure 5. Press Enter. An MXP prompt appears. Press Enter. The IP Address is set for the RVON-I/O. Set the Netmask. At the MXP prompt, type Activate. RVON-I/O will reset itself to the new IP Address.

RVON-I/O Command Table RVON-I/O A 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: Make sure to set the panel poll ID to 0 when trunking in Remote Mode.
At the prompt, type telnet 192.168.0.1 (default RVON-I/O IP Address). The RVON login screen appears. In the logon field, type telex (default user logon for the unit). Press Enter. In the password field, enter password (default password for the unit).
Open a Telnet Session. Type telnet 192.168.0.10 (default). Press Enter. RVON login appears. Type telex, and press Enter. RVON password appears. Type password, and press Enter. At the prompt, type dbgcmd and press Enter. You have entered MXP programming shell.
