CHAPTER 1 Introduction General Description RTS® Cronus is a 32-port digital matrix intercom in 2RU (rack units). Based upon an advanced DSP architecture, Cronus has the ability to link up to four units into a single 128 port matrix. Through the use of standard video coaxial cable, the maximum distance between the first and last Cronus system can be 300 ft., and still appear as a single matrix. However, when using the Fiber Option card, the distance is increased up to 15 kilometers nominally.
Differences between Cronus and ADAM Cronus ADAM Most practical for small to medium systems. Most practical for more complex systems because the number of users is much higher. In small to medium-sized broadcast company, Cronus would be used like an ADAM. Uses ASIC technology Cronus is scalable - can keep adding on to the original configuration (up to four systems maximum) ADAM has both a redundant power supply and a redundant Master Controller card. Cronus has a redundant power supply.

CHAPTER 3 Cronus and AZedit Vox Settings in AZedit Cronus and the AIO-16 card are the only devices presently that support Vox. Vox refers to voice activation. This means that once audio is passed through Cronus or AIO-16 at a preset threshold level, the audio lines are open for conversation between ports. With Cronus, you can set the Vox threshold from the front panel or you can set it through AZedit. In AZedit there are two ways to access the Vox Settings screen. NOTE: AZedit must be at version 2.09.
Accessing Vox To access the Vox Settings screen from the System menu, do the following: 1. NOTE: 22 From the System menu in AZedit, select Vox. The Vox Settings Screen appears. You can change the threshold levels and hold times of more than one port at a time by pressing the CTRL key and clicking the ports you want to change.
SCREEN ITEM FIELD TYPE DESCRIPTION Threshold Adjust arrow keys Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to increase or decrease the vox threshold by.5 dB (-127 dB to 0.0 dB). You can see the level adjustments in the parameter display window (to the right). NOTE: Threshold Level display box You can select multiple ports to change at the same time. However, when you increase or decrease the threshold of multiple ports the levels change from each port’s starting dB level. For example, Port 002 is set to -82.
SCREEN ITEM Threshold adjust FIELD TYPE slider DESCRIPTION The Threshold Adjust slider allows you to set the vox threshold by moving the slider right (increase) or left (decrease). NOTE: 1. Set To button This sets the threshold to the level you set by the slider bar. It does not increase or decrease the threshold from the individual port starting dB. Slide the threshold slider bar to the level you want to set the port (s) selected. The Set To button activates the Threshold Level slider selection.
SCREEN ITEM FIELD TYPE DESCRIPTION Parameter Display Window Port display The Port column displays the port identification number for the intercom port. This identification number cannot be changed Alpha display The Alpha column displays the label given to the port (input/output) of the matrix. Alphas are the names that appear in the alphanumeric displays on keypanels when keys are assigned to talk to destinations in the intercom system.

CHAPTER 8 RVON-C RTS Voice Over Network for Cronus Description of the RVON-C Voice Over Network Card Installed directly into the Cronus Intercom frame, the RVON-C provides voice over IP (Internet Protocol) communications for the RTS® Cronus intercom system. In general, voice over IP means sending voice information in digital form using discrete packets rather than the traditional telephone network.
Features Installation The RVON-C card is hot-swappable and installs in any available slot in a Cronus Intercom System. It provides a single RJ-45 Ethernet connection for use with a 10 BASE-T or 100 BASETX network. It also has a DB-9 connection for an RS-232 or RS-485 pass-thru port. 8 Channels of Audio IN and OUT Expands the connectivity of the Cronus intercom by supporting 8 channels (ports) IN and OUT.

Installation of the RVON-C Card into the Cronus System When inserting the RVON-C card into the Cronus system, the following considerations must be made: • Gently insert the RVON-C card into the correct slot. If the card is forced or twisted while inserting, a pin on the backplane could short or break causing the card to become inoperable. • When inserting the RVON-C card into the Cronus system, make sure to insert it into a compatible backcard.
Switches and Connections IMPORTANT: You must remove the card from the frame in order to change any DIP switch settings on the front card, see Figure 47 on page 43. DIP Switch 1 Closed: Configuration via AZedit is disabled. Open: (Default) Configuration via AZedit is enabled Description: DIP Switches 2-4 Disables the configuration changes via AZedit. AZedit will still be able to view the card configuration and connection status.
Configuring the RVON-C Card with AZedit Once the RVON-C card is inserted into the Intercom, AZedit will automatically recognize the card. NOTE: Requires intercom firmware and AZedit software that support RVON cards. To configure the RVON-C card, do the following: 1. 44 From the Status menu, select I/O cards. The I/O Card Status screen appears showing the types of installed cards.
2. Right-click on an RVON-C card, and select RVON-C Configuration. The RVON-C Configuration screen appears. 3. From the RVON-C drop down list, select the slot in which the RVON-C card resides, if it is not already selected. 4. In the IP Address field, enter the IP Address you have assigned to the RVON-C card. 5. In the Network Mask field, enter the Network Mask to which the RVON-C card is connected. 6.
NOTE: 15. NOTE: A CODEC is an algorithm used to compress audio. There are 5 Codices support by Telex: G.711μs law, G.711A law, G.729AB, G.723 (5.3k) and G.723 (6.3k). The type of CODEC will dictate the quality of audio you hear and the network bandwidth used. The packet size determines how much audio data is carried across the network in each transmitted packet. The CODEC type and pack size chosen require different amounts of bandwidth from the network ( See “Specifications” on page 38.).
RVON-C Connection Status Screen The RVON-C Connection Status screens display information pertaining to RVON-C channel connections. You can only show statistics for one channel on a card at a time. NOTE: To view the RVON-C Connection Status screens make sure both AZedit and the RVON-C 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 this much data effectively.
Screen Item Description Select Local Card and Channel RVON Card IP Address The card for which you want to view the status. 1. From the RVON drop down list, select the card you want to view. Displays the IP (Internet Protocol) Address of the card you select One of eight audio channels supported by the RVON-C card. Local Channel 1.

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 49. Local Area Network Diagram WIDE AREA NETWORK A WAN (Wide Area Network) 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 WAN in existence is the Internet. FIGURE 50.
ACCESSING THE WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) Figure 13 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 3. 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 2. Packet Translation Packet before Translation Source Packet After Translation Destination Source IP Address Port IP Address Number Port IP Address Number Port IP Address Number 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. From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen. 2. At the prompt, type the IP Address of the computer you wish to ping (for example, 10.2.100.130). 3. Press Enter.
To view the path an IP Address takes to retrieve information, you can execute a tracert from the Command Prompt Screen. To run a tracert, do the following: 1. From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen. 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.
RVON Configuration RVON cards use ports for communication of audio and control packets. Because routers can be configured to block certain incoming and outgoing requests, you will need to open the following ports in your network to allow WAN connections to and from a Network Interface Device. See the table below for the ports that need to be opened for the RVON cards to operate properly. Table 3. Ports Port necessary for RVON card functionality.
Network Terminology 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. Bridges Domain Name Server (DNS) Gateway Hub With a bridge, all of your computers are on the same network subnet (see Subnet).
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 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.
Appendix B RVON-C Card Serial Port Programming RVON Serial and Telnet Commands RVON-C card programming can be done via direct serial or telnet connection. There are several physical connections to an RVON-C card. • Direct serial through custom debug cable (J7 6-pin bottom front) The customer debug cable always functions as the general -purpose debug tool. • Backcard DB-9 J1 The backcard DB-9 (must be disabled/enabled via a DIP Switch because it can also be used for serial port passthrough.
