CHAPTER 1 Introduction Description of the RVON-16 Voice Over Network Card Like the RVON-8, the RVON-16 is installed into the ADAM intercom frame, the RVON-16 provides voice over IP communications for the RTS ADAM intercom family of products. Voice over IP technology sends voice (audio) information in digital form using discrete packets rather than the traditional telephone network.
Features Installation: The RVON-16 is hot-swappable and installs into any available slot in an ADAM intercom system. It provides a single RJ-45 Ethernet connection for use with a 10 BASE-T or 100 BASE-TX network. It also has two DB-9 connections for RS-232 or RS-485 pass-thru port. 16 channels of Audio IN and OUT: Expands the connectivity of the ADAM intercom by supporting 16 channels or ports of audio IN and OUT.

CHAPTER 2 RVON-16 Card Channel Assignment RVON-16 Channels With the introduction of RVON-16 cards into the ADAM system, the number of channels available doubles from 136 to 272 channels. This is because instead of the 8 channels of audio per RVON-8 card, you now have 16 channels of audio per RVON16 card. To be backwards compatible with the RVON-8, the RVON-16 channels have been split in to two groups of eight channels; an upper group and a lower group.
FIGURE 2. ADAM frame with both RVON-8 and RVON-16 cards Essentially, the channel numbering is static, in that the channel numbers used do not change whether you are using an RVON8 or an RVON-16 card. Rather, it is a question of whether the channels shall or shall not exist. NOTE: You can only hot-swap similar cards in a slot to achieve proper reconnection. If you swap different types of RVON cards (RVON-8 and RVON-16), reconnection at the destination does not occur.
CHAPTER 3 Installation Installation of the RVON-16 Card into the ADAM System CAUTION: The RVON-16 front card works with either an RVON-16 backcard or an RVON-8 backcard. However, if the RVON-16 is used with an RVON-8 backcard, the second of the two RS-232 ports on the RVON-16 will not be available. Similarly, an RVON-8 card will work with an RVON-16 backcard, but the second RS-232 port will be unavailable.
Color Key Code The RVON-16 Color Key Code. This Key Code allows only the RVON-8 or RVON-16 to plug into a blue coded, compatible backcard. FIGURE 3. On the RVON-16 card, Telex has provided a color key code and knock-outs for digits 1-8 to ensure a compatible connection between cards. The RVON-16 card color is blue, and will only insert into a blue coded backcard. Addresses and the RVON-16 Card Because the RVON-16 has an Ethernet interface, it is required to have a MAC (Media Access Control) address.

RVON Connection Status Screen The RVON-16 connection status screen displays information pertaining to RVON channel connections. You can only show statistics for one channel on a card at a time. NOTE: To view the RVON Connection Status screens, make sure both AZedit and the RVON-16 card are on the same Ethernet network. The reason this is important is because the statistics are updated once per second. At this rate of dynamic update, a serial port could not pass the data effectively.
Screen Item Description Select Local Card and Channel RVON Card The card for which you want to view the status From the RVON drop down list, select the card you want to view. IP Address Local Channel Displays the IP (Internet Protocol) Address of the card you select One of sixteen (16) channels supported by the RVON card.

Bytes Transferred Displays the number of bytes transferred from the serial connection to Ethernet. Bytes Lost Displays the number of bytes that could not be transferred. Errors Displays the number of errors that occurred during transfer.
Download RVON-16 Firmware through AZedit NOTE: AZedit sends the program directly to the RVON-16 card over Ethernet. This is different from other I/O cards that receive the firmware from the Master Controller. For this reason, verify the PC running AZedit is on the same network as the RVON-16 card. If it is not, AZedit will not be able to find the card. To test the connection, ping the RVON card from a command line. For more information on testing for a connection, see “Ping a Computer” on page 42.
6. Click Open. The Download Device Firmware window appears. 7. Click Begin Download. The download begins. Once the download shows 100% a message (shown below) appears. 8. Click OK. The RVON-16 firmware download is complete. This takes a minute or two to occur. 9. Verify the version upgrade in the I/O Card Version Information Window. WARNING!!! Do NOT power down the frame or pull the RVON-16 card (s) from the frame until you have verified the new version information from AZedit.
Configuring RVON-16 using RVONedit NOTE: If you are using RVON-16 with RVONedit, you must use RVONedit version 2.0.0. Please contact your customer service representative for ordering details. RVONedit is a windows®-based, GUI (graphical user interface) application designed exclusively for Telex RVON/VoIP-based products.

APPENDIX A Basic Network Configuration Basic Network Configuration This section covers basic network configuration set-up and testing. Also covered are basic concepts and operations, including the difference between LAN and WAN networks and how IP Addressing is used. In a networked environment, such as a company, typically there are many computers connected together using a router or a switch. In larger companies, there may be several different routers distributed in buildings and plant locations.
FIGURE 5. Local Area Network Diagram WIDE AREA NETWORK A wide area network (WAN) connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over a WAN. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet. FIGURE 6.
ACCESSING THE WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) Figure 3 shows LAN IP Addresses using a common IP Address, 10.2.100.X (192.168.X.X is another common address). Most devices are shipped with these addresses as its default. It is recommended to use these addresses for LANs. FIGURE 7. Network Address Translation NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT) Using the initial IP Address, then converting it to a valid WAN IP Address is how the network address translation works, in theory.
TABLE 5. Packet Translation Packet before Translation Source Packet After Translation Destination Source IP Address Port Number IP Address Port Number IP Address Port Number IP Address Port Number To Internet 10.2.100.1 1031 192.156.136.22 80 99.5.1.30 1032 192.156.136.22 80 From Internet 192.156.136.22 80 99.5.1.30 1032 192.156.136.22 80 10.2.100.
IP ADDRESSES If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS screen in a Windows®- based environment and bring up the ipconfig screen. To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following: 1. From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen. 2. At the prompt, type ipconfig, then press Enter. The IP configurations appear for your machine, such as the DNS suffix, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. 3. At the prompt, type Exit to close the screen.
Ping a Computer Pinging a computer on the network makes sure it is able to be “seen” and receive messages on the network. NOTE: You can also ping your RVON-8 card to verify that it is responding over the network by putting the cards IP Address in place of the computer IP Address. To Ping a computer on the network, do the following: 1. 2. From the Start menu, select Run.... At the Run command, type CMD to open a Command Prompt screen. 3.
2. At the prompt, type tracert and type the url or IP Address you want to trace. 3. Press Enter. The details of the tracer route are displayed. NOTE: 4. You will the message “request timed out” if the IP Address/ port IN or OUT is denied to the incoming or outgoing message. When you are finished, type exit to close the Command Prompt screen. RVON Configuration RVON cards use ports for communication of audio and control packets.
Below, is an example of a router configuration screen. Not all routers are configured the same way and may not look exactly like this screen. NOTE: 44 Linksys™ supports up to 253 nodes on a router. This is why it is called a Router/Switch because there are WAN functions like a router as well as having a 4-port LAN switch. It also does not support simultaneous forward and DHCP.
Network Terminology Bridge A bridge is a device that connects two LANs, or two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol. Sometimes called “transparent bridges” they work at the OSI model layer 2. Simply put, they are not concerned with protocols. Their main job is to pass data to a destination address that is predetermined in the data packet. With a bridge, all of your computers are on the same network subnet (see Subnet).
46 LAN A LAN is a computer network that connects a relatively small area (a single building or group of buildings). Most LANs connect work stations and computers to each other. Each computer (also known as a “node”) has its own processing unit and executes its own programs; however, it can also access data and devices anywhere on the LAN. This means that many users can access and share the same information and devices. A good example of a LAN device is a network printer.
