CHAPTER 2 Introduction General Description The RTS ROAMEO system is an integrated digital wireless communications system consisting of beltpacks (TR-1800) and access points (AP-1800) communicating over DECT1. Communication between access points and the Matrix uses OMNEO technology, the Dante-based platform for high-quality audio over IP. DECT is a license-free standard, currently accepted in more than 80 countries worldwide.

Introduction Bosch Security Systems, Inc. ROAMEO System Technical Manual F.01U.306.750 Rev.
CHAPTER 3 System Overview System Description A ROAMEO wireless intercom system consists of two types of devices: a wireless beltpack (TR-1800) and an access point (AP-1800). The ROAMEO system can be configured for anything from small systems (one access point and a few beltpacks) to a large system (10 access points and up to 40 beltpacks). The ROAMEO system provides quality, configurable wireless audio across the coverage area and is easily expandable.
System Overview ROAMEO System Access Points The ROAMEO AP-1800 converts DECT signaling to the OMNEO protocol, Audinate’s Dante digital high-quality audio transport over IP. AP-1800 units are physically connected via the Ethernet network to an ADAM or ADAM-M matrix using an OMI card1. The OMI card maintains a bi-directional OMNEO channel for each beltpack. The AP-1800 acts as the interface between the OMI card and the beltpack communicating via DECT.
ROAMEO System System Overview 27 Roaming The ROAMEO system allows beltpacks to move between the radio coverage area of one AP-1800 to the radio coverage area of another AP-1800. This is called roaming. Roaming is monitored and maintained by the system of access points, making it transparent to the user. Handoff from one coverage area to another is done in such a way to make it nearly seamless. Roaming does not involve any processing on the OMI, allowing the OMNEO bit stream to be completely uninterrupted.
System Overview IMPORTANT: FIGURE 7. ROAMEO System It is important if more than six wideband or ten narrowband access points are used to cover the same area that all the access point be placed in a location where they can detect each other. High Density Roaming Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Technical Manual F.01U.306.750 Rev.
ROAMEO System System Overview 29 Home Connections IMPORTANT: When configuring home connections, remember to assign the configured access point channels to the OMI card in the Matrix (see “Connecting the Access Point to the Intercom” on page 59). Each access point channel is a bi-directional OMNEO channel for audio, command, and control with the matrix. For a wideband system (CODEC G.722), there are five access point channels available to assign BPIDs. For a narrowband system (CODEC G.
System Overview ROAMEO System Home to Visitor Roaming When a beltpack roams from its Home AP to a Visitor AP, a new OMNEO connection is made between both access points. However, before the new connection’s OMNEO channel is used, the new DECT RF connection must be confirmed as good. The new DECT RF connection is made before breaking from the old connection. This means the existing DECT RF link to the Home AP is maintained until the new DECT RF link to the Visitor AP is confirmed.

System Overview ROAMEO System ROAMEO System Setup Checklist ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ Each beltpack has only one HOME access point. Each system can have only one Sync Master access point (set in IPedit). When subscribing a beltpack to the system, the beltpack must be within 40 feet (12 meters) of an access point in that system. Each access point set to the G.722 CODEC can be a host for up to five beltpacks (no channels left for roaming beltpacks). Recommend each G.
CHAPTER 4 Site Survey Description Site Survey is the application (standard on the TR-1800) used to plan and design the ROAMEO system. Site survey provides crucial information on roaming coverage. With the ROAMEO site survey application, finding coverage areas for access points, even when obstacles are encountered, such as metal walls, reinforced concrete, metal-coated glass, etc. is easier to accomplish.
Site Survey ROAMEO System Set Up an Existing System with a Static IP Address To set the computer to a Link Local IP Address, do the following: IMPORTANT: NOTE: These instructions detail a typical setup for the Windows 7 platform. If the AP-1800 has been connected to a Matrix system in the past or assigned a static IP Address already, then assigning the computer a Link Local Address will not work. If the AP-1800’s IP Address is known, configure the computer to be in its network.

CHAPTER 10 Troubleshooting, Accessories and Replacements Troubleshooting Issue RF Range of beltpacks is less than normal Possible Cause • Solution Missing access point antenna(s) • Verify both antennas are attached to the access point antennas are tightly connected. For more information, see “Antenna connection and placement ” on page 51.
Troubleshooting, Accessories and Replacements Issue No DECT connection displayed on beltpack ROAMEO System Possible Cause Solution • The access points are not powered-up or have not finished powering-up. • Verify all access points covering the area are powered-up. All access points should have a green light next to the power jack. • The beltpack is out of range of an access point. • Verify the RF coverage of an access point includes the immediate vicinity of the beltpack.
ROAMEO System Troubleshooting, Accessories and Replacements 151 Issue Beltpack is having audio dropouts Possible Cause • Solution Weak RF connection to the access point that covers this area. • To improve RF coverage access points may need to be moved or additional access points may need to be added. For more information, see “Perform a Site Survey” on page 46. • The DECT environment is limited to a set number of RF carriers as well as a set number of slots on each carrier.
Troubleshooting, Accessories and Replacements Issue No audio from beltpack ROAMEO System Possible Cause Solution • The DECT connection is down • If the RF DECT connection is down, then no audio is sent to or from the beltpack. See “No DECT connection displayed on beltpack” on page 150. • The Matrix connection is down. • If the Matrix is down, then no audio is sent to or from the beltpack. See “No matrix connection on beltpack” on page 150.
ROAMEO System Troubleshooting, Accessories and Replacements 153 Issue No lights or display shown on beltpack Possible Cause • Solution The beltpack is set to Dark Mode. • Determine if dark mode is active on the beltpack. No lights are visible on the beltpack when dark mode is active, and the CWW display shows Dark Mode. For more information, see “Dark Mode” on page 90. • The displays or top panel LEDs set to 0% brightness in beltpack menu.
Troubleshooting, Accessories and Replacements Issue Cannot download the firmware update to the beltpack ROAMEO System Possible Cause • Solution The USB stick is not formatted for FAT32. The USB flash drive must be formatted for a FAT32 file system. To check the formatting, do the following: • 1. Plug the flash drive into a computer. 2. Right click the drive A flyout menu appears. 3. Verify the file system displays FAT32.
ROAMEO System Troubleshooting, Accessories and Replacements 155 Issue Cannot download firmware to the access point Possible Cause • • Solution The computer where the FWUT (Firmware Update Tool) is located is not in the same network as the access points. • If the matrix system containing the access points is configured for DHCP addressing, then the computer where the Firmware Upload Tool resides should also be configured for DHCP addressing.
