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 06324C © Inovonics, 2013 - www.inovonics.
