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 card
1
. 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.
There are two types of access points in a ROAMEO system:
• Home AP
• Visitor AP
Home AP
The Home AP is any AP-1800 that configures the beltpack’s BPID (Beltpack ID) to one of its available OMNEO channels
using IPedit.
Visitor AP
The Visitor AP is any AP-1800 that does not configure the BPID to one of the its OMNEO channels in IPedit. The Visitor AP
can be thought of as a bridge that allows the visiting beltpack to communicate within the system while outside of its Home AP
radius (Figure 6).
NOTE: The Home and Visitor labels are in reference to the beltpack. A beltpack’s Home access point could be a Visitor
access point to a different beltpack.
