The RVON-1 firmware download is complete. This takes a minute or two to occur. WARNING! - Do NOT power down the keypanel until you have verified the new version information from AZedit.
  • Page 95 Appendix A 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 (for more information router or switch in the definitions section).
  • Page 96 A wide area network 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 the wide area network. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.
  • Page 97 IP address for the URL you are requesting (http:// www.telex.com). To obtain this address, the computer contact a DNS server (Domain Name Server). Once the IP address is found, it tries to connect to the http port of the network device (port 80). See Table 1 for a list of the more well-known port numbers.

  • Page 99 IP Addresses ® If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS screen in Windows - based environment and bring up the ipconfig screen. To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following: From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt window. At the prompt, type ipconfig, then press Enter.
  • Page 100 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 101 Possible Pitfall with Routers, Gateways, and Switches Anytime computers communicate through routers, gateways, and switches, they may be allowed or denied 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. This is one of the security mechanisms of a router. This also happens when broadcast messages are sent and received.
  • Page 102 RVON-1 Specific Configuration RVON-1 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. See Table 4 for the ports that need to be opened for the RVON-1 card to operate properly.
  • Page 103 - A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names (for example, in the URL http://www.telex.com, the domain name is 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.

For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several of its branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.

There are two physical connections to an RVON-1 board: • Direct serial through a custom debug cable (J3 6-pin bottom front) The custom debug cable always functions as the general-purpose debug tool.
