8 Chapter 1 Radius Overview 1.1 About Radius Radius is a revolutionary alert server and awareness engine. Designed to link people to events in life-safety situations, Radius combines the latest mass notification capabilities with advanced positioning technology to provide detailed location information. Radius provides the central nervous system for your Physical Security Information Management system. The system integrates data from traditional security devices, even IP-enabling legacy security and fire panels to do so, and then coordinates an appropriate response. The location functionality provided by Inovonics Positioning Technology then ensures those alarms can be located, so that the response can be effective. Radius allows users to monitor a variety of end-devices; interface to fire, access control, and environmental systems; and provide notification to mobile devices such as cell phones, pagers, and two-way radios. Figure 1-1 Radius Overview C Inovonics,

9 Radius Overview 1.2 Defining the Radius System Every Radius system will differ depending on the specific application, but they all have in common that they must turn alarms from end devices into alerts delivered to the user. Generally, Radius system components are defined as follows: Monitored Devices Every device that you are watching for an alarm must be defined as a monitored device. This includes universal transmitters, pendants, door alarms, smoke detectors, and motion detectors Device Categories Every monitored device must belong to a category. If you are using motion detectors, you will need a motion detector category; if you are using pendants, you need a pendant category. It is in the device category section that you determine what you want Radius to do when an alarm occurs at a monitored device Alert Devices Every device that will receive an alert from Radius must be defined here, including pagers, phones, and addresses. Any device to which you want to send a quick message or reminder must be set up in alert devices. Any device that you want included in an alarm escalation under modes and actions must be set up in alert devices. If you want to put together an alert group, all members of the group must be set up in alert devices Alert Groups This feature allows you to create groups of alert devices that will always be contacted together. Alert groups are especially useful in situations where you wish to contact a large group of people; by creating an alert group, you only have to choose a single entry to send a quick message or reminder. If you want to put together an alert group, all members of the group must be set up in alert devices C Inovonics,

10 Radius Overview Modes and Actions Alarms can be escalated using the modes and actions option. This will allow you to set up time schedules (modes) and specific alarm responses (actions) for each device category. 1.3 Radius Server Components Radius Server The Radius server is a Windows XP embedded server typically connected to the local area network (LAN) to allow existing users to view and administer the Radius system on their workstations. The Radius server includes four serial ports, one Ethernet port, six USB ports and four analog telephone jacks. The Radius server requires 110VAC power with an uninterrupted power supply and an ethernet connection Network Coordinator The network coordinator manages signals between the wireless end devices in the Radius system and the Radius server. The network coordinator requires 110VAC power. Generally speaking, the network coordinator should be mounted in an elevated position, away from metal. The network coordinator should be mounted no more than 25 feet away from the Radius server High Power Repeater The high power repeater intelligently amplifies transmissions from any Inovonics EchoStream end device, while ignoring background noise. Virtually any number of repeaters can be added to a system, scaling the system size as needed. The high power repeater requires 110VAC power. Radius can also use the high power repeater network to provide the approximate location of wireless end devices sending alert signals C Inovonics,

11 Radius Overview Wireless End Devices The Radius system can incorporate any Inovonics wireless end device, including: Pendant Transmitters Inovonics wireless pendant transmitters offer virtually limitless opportunities for panic/duress, life safety, and many custom applications Universal Transmitters Inovonics universal transmitters are designed for use with almost any standard contact or sensor. They are available in a number of configurations for almost any application Specialized Transmitters Inovonics specialized transmitters are used for unique security, pulse counting, temperature, and custom applications Dialogic Combined Media Board A dialogic combined media board allows the Radius system to make and receive phone calls. A voice-enabled Radius server includes one four-port Dialogic board installed. The Dialogic combined media board can only be used with a standard analog phone line. The combined media board will not work with a digital phone line Two-Way Radio Interface A two-way radio can be connected to the Radius server using a radio interface box with a phone connection on one end and a 2.5mm jack to interface to a base radio. The radio interface box will use one of the RJ11 jacks found on the dialogic board C Inovonics,

12 Radius Overview Paging Base Station and Pagers The Radius server can connect to a paging base station via one of the serial ports to deliver POCSAG compliant messages to pagers. The paging base station requires 110VAC power. Generally speaking, the paging base station should be mounted in an elevated position, away from metal.

To ensure the file is not overwritten: 1 Create a copy of the existing wall_pager.conf, and name it wall_pager_site.conf in the Statsol Directory.
