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.
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: 1.2.1 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. 1.2.
Radius Overview 1.2.5 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 1.3.1 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.
Radius Overview 1.3.4 Wireless End Devices The Radius system can incorporate any Inovonics wireless end device, including: 1.3.4.1 Pendant Transmitters Inovonics wireless pendant transmitters offer virtually limitless opportunities for panic/duress, life safety, and many custom applications. • http://www.inovonics.com/pendant-transmitters.aspx 1.3.4.2 Universal Transmitters Inovonics universal transmitters are designed for use with almost any standard contact or sensor.
Radius Overview 1.3.7 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. • The paging base station should be mounted no more than 25 feet away from the Radius server. 6.24.13 06325C © Inovonics, 2013 - www.inovonics.

Chapter 5 End Device Installation and Configuration 5.1 End Device Installation Inovonics end devices typically fall under four categories: • Pendant transmitters • Universal transmitters • Motion detector transmitters • Specialized transmitters Although the installation of all of the above is similar, there are some differences. 5.1.1 Create Category End devices enrolled into the Radius system must be added to a device category before they can be used.
End Device Installation and Configuration 3 If you do not see the category needed for the end device you’re enrolling, click “Create a New Category.” 4 In the “Description Field,” enter a description of the device category. 5 In the “Missing Interval” field, enter the time, in minutes, to elapse between check in messages before a device in this category will be considered missing.
End Device Installation and Configuration 5.1.2 Pendant Transmitter Installation Inovonics pendant transmitters are versatile mobile transmitters that can be used anywhere within the EchoStream Commercial Mesh Network. For more about Inovonics pendant transmitters: • http://www.inovonics.com/pendant-transmitters.aspx 5.1.2.1 Register a Pendant Transmitter 1 From the home screen, click “Administration.” 2 Click “Monitored Devices.” 3 Push the alarm button(s) so that it enrolls in the Radius system.
End Device Installation and Configuration • This is to ensure that alarm resets are coming from the specific device. It also inhibits additional alarms until reset. 9 Enter a “Monitored Device Description.” 10 If you want a different alarm message than the default category message, assign a custom “Alert Message.” 11 Add “Notes” as desired in the available field. 12 Click “Update Monitored Device.” 13 Reset the pendant transmitter per the transmitter’s installation instructions. 5.
End Device Installation and Configuration number fourteen fourteen” so that it will be pronounced correctly. Another example might be a word with a challenging text-to-speech pronunciation like “anesthesiology,” which should be spelled phonetically. This change will not show up on the main screen, reports or pagers; it will only change the pronunciation as spoken by the system. 8 Assign a custom “Alert Message” as desired. 9 Add “Notes” as desired in the available field.
End Device Installation and Configuration 17 As desired, enter a “Spoken Device Description.” • This is only used if the spoken device pronunciation will differ from the text entered under the “Monitored Device Description.” For example, because “room number 1414” would be spoken as “room number one thousand four hundred and fourteen,” this can be written as “room number fourteen fourteen” so that it will be pronounced correctly.
