IPS
Internet Protocol Server (Configuration Device for NK Series and T-Glue products)
|
The IPS (Internet Protocol Server) is used for configuration and monitoring of Talia devices including terminal gear, glue products and routers, as well as having the ability to configure itself. Connection of the IPS to either a single computer or a network allows configuration of Talia devices using a web browser. This unlocks the ability to fully customise the installation of Talia products by providing access to the entire range of functions and features. The 8 port hub on the rear of the IPS permits flexibility of installation, isolating groups of devices. In the event of a critical error, the 8 port hub and connection of devices by a ‘star arrangement’ means that individual device failure does not affect the entire system. Alarm status and monitoring is displayed on the IPS ‘Online Devices’ page to enable users to locate errors and troubleshoot problems. The IPS is connected to other Talia devices via the Talia T-Bus Control System, a multi-drop RJ-45 control system supporting collision detection and half-duplex communication. The T-Bus Control System minimises cable connections between devices, acting as both the communications line and a reliable means to phantom power Codan Broadcast devices, such as the RCP-NK1 control panel. The T-Bus Control System’s collision detection support ensures that if two devices transmit messages at the same time they will not send incorrect data to other devices on the line. All components that utilise the T-Bus Control System are able to monitor communication on the line to ensure that no two devices are transmitting at the same time, enhancing reliability and reducing the risk of communication errors.
