Installation Of The Rvon-1 Card (Cont.); Rvon-1 Relay; Addresses And The Rvon-1 - RTS EKP-32 User Manual

Installation of the RVON-1 Card (cont.)

In the KP-32 keypanel, the RVON-1 card connects to the KP-32 by way of the J2 connector on the RVON-1
attached to J4 on the KP-32 header. Gently secure the board in place. See Figure 4.
Figure 4. The J4 connector on the KP-32 board.
In the KP-812, the RVON-1 card connects to the KP-812 by way of the J2 connector on the RVON-1
attached to J37 on the KP-812 header. Gently secure the board in place. See Figure 5.
NOTE: Be sure the orientation of the board is correct, otherwise undesirable effects may occur. Make sure
the RJ-45 connection is positioned so it will fit through the specified knockout on the back cover. When
installing the RVON-1 card in an existing KP-32 or KP-812, each keypanel needs to be upgraded to include
the following:
KP-32
•
A backplate that allows for the RJ-45 connection (Ethernet).
•
Larger flash chips.
KP-812
•
A backplate that allows for the RJ-45 connection (Ethernet).
•
Extension for the RJ-45 connector.

RVON-1 Relay

When connected to an Ethernet LAN, audio comes from the RVON 1 card; and, when Ethernet is not
plugged in, the audio comes from the AIO connection. Note, the user does not need to remove the RVON-
1 card to switch to AIO mode.
WARNING!: You cannot have both an Ethernet connection and an AIO connection simultaneously. If the
Ethernet and AIO are connected simultaneously, no audio communication will occur.

Addresses and the RVON-1

Because the RVON-1 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 compliant, all cards must have a unique MAC ID when shipped from the manufac-
turer. Typically, the MAC ID of a piece of hardware, such as the RVON-1 card, has a fixed or static address.
Where as the RVON-1 card's IP address can change over time.
The MAC address uniquely identifies each node of a network and interfaces directly with the network media.
The RVON-1 card has a small 8-pin serial device on the board that the processor can read the unique MAC
address from. For more information on MAC IDs, contact technical support.
NOTE: Each RVON-1 Card needs to be programmed with its own IP Address.
