Introduction

General Description

The RTS ROAMEO system is an integrated digital wireless communications system consisting of beltpacks (TR-1800) and
access points (AP-1800) communicating over DECT technology, the Dante-based platform for high-quality audio over IP.
DECT is a license-free standard, currently accepted in more than 80 countries worldwide.
1
. Communication between access points and the Matrix uses OMNEO
A large continuous radio coverage area can be created easily by strategic placement of access points. Beltpack users can roam freely within the coverage area without worry of losing communication.
ROAMEO uses a standard IP infrastructure as a backbone, RTS recommends the exclusive use of managed switches through the IP network.
Each TR-1800 ROAMEO beltpack is fully addressable and is conveniently programmed using the same software used in RTS wired keypanels.

Features

• Provides reliable, low latency communications between beltpacks and Matrix.
• Provides roaming ability between access point locations with seamless communication.
• User-selectable CODEC to allow the best audio quality or narrowband audio quality with double the
number of users.
• Uses DECT for RF path, a globally-accepted, license-free standard.
• Ethernet backbone communications can be routed over existing LAN or WAN.
• The beltpack provides a USB port for software upgrades and the download of custom front display
graphics on boot.
• Easy battery removal for bulk charging in a 4-bay battery charger or in-device charging.
• Large color screen with easily recognizable icons for easy configuration and setup, and a smaller call
waiting window located on top of the unit.
Designed with four (4) independent talk/listen keys for full-duplex communications, CWW (Call
•
Waiting Window) functionality and one (1) XLR connector and one (1) 3.5mm connector for headset connections.
• Site Survey feature facilitates initial placement of access points for optimal performance.

CHAPTER 3
System Overview

System Description

A ROAMEO wireless intercom system consists of two types of devices: a wireless beltpack (TR-1800) and an access point (AP-1800).
The ROAMEO system can be configured for anything from small systems (one access point and a few beltpacks) to a large system (10 access points and up to 40 beltpacks). The ROAMEO system provides quality, configurable wireless audio across the coverage area and is easily expandable.
The typical indoor coverage area varies widely depending on the installation area. The typical range of an access point is between 50–100 meters.

System Considerations

• Number of access points required for coverage area.
• Sufficient access point coverage overlap to allow seamless roaming for beltpacks.
• The number of access points to provide sufficient capacity for all beltpacks planned to be in the area. It is especially
important to consider the number of beltpacks that are booted in the same area (and then moved to other areas). The initial beltpack staging area should be able to provide access to all devices.
• Area Considerations
• Metal Barriers - Signal reflects off metal which can provide good signal fill for areas; however, the signal will not pass through metal.
• Cement - Signal usually passes through with little problem. Dependent on the cement thickness and the presence of any metal rebar.
• Wood and Drywall - No issues.
• Overall Size - May need more access points to cover a large area even if only a few beltpacks are used.
• Spectrum Bandwidth - Other DECT systems in the area (i.e., wireless phone systems use some of the DECT spectrum allowing less beltpacks in the area).
• Matrix system supports enough OMNEO channels for the amount of beltpacks.
• Ethernet infrastructure supports access points with sufficient bandwidth for additional traffic and uses managed
switches (OSI Layer 3 capable).

Access Points

The ROAMEO AP-1800 converts DECT signaling to the OMNEO protocol, Audinate’s Dante digital high-quality audio transport over IP. AP-1800 units are physically connected via the Ethernet network to an ADAM or ADAM-M matrix using
an OMI card between the OMI card and the beltpack communicating via DECT.
There are two types of access points in a ROAMEO system:
1
. The OMI card maintains a bi-directional OMNEO channel for each beltpack. The AP-1800 acts as the interface
• Home AP
• Vis i tor AP
FIGURE 5. Components of a ROAMEO System

Home AP

The Home AP is any AP-1800 that configures the beltpack’s BPID (Beltpack ID) to one of its available OMNEO channels using IPedit.

Visitor AP

The Visitor AP is any AP-1800 that does not configure the BPID to one of the its OMNEO channels in IPedit. The Visitor AP can be thought of as a bridge that allows the visiting beltpack to communicate within the system while outside of its Home AP radius (Figure 6).
NOTE: The Home and Visitor labels are in reference to the beltpack. A beltpack’s Home access point could be a Visitor
access point to a different beltpack.

ROAMEO System System Overview 27

Roaming

The ROAMEO system allows beltpacks to move between the radio coverage area of one AP-1800 to the radio coverage area of another AP-1800. This is called roaming. Roaming is monitored and maintained by the system of access points, making it transparent to the user. Handoff from one coverage area to another is done in such a way to make it nearly seamless. Roaming does not involve any processing on the OMI, allowing the OMNEO bit stream to be completely uninterrupted.
In order for seamless hand-off to occur, the AP-1800 RF coverage area must overlap. This allows the beltpack handoff commands to be sent to both the current access point and the new access point in the coverage area which ensures a seamless hand-off.
The 80 RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) contour line shown in Figure 6 is a number related to the access point’s RF signal strength as received at the beltpack. This can be measured using the beltpack’s site survey screen when testing an access point location. For more information, see “Site Survey” on page 39.
IMPORTANT: When there is little or no coverage overlap, a beltpack can experience undesirable audio break-up before
the hand-off to a new access point occurs.
FIGURE 6. SimpleFigure 6 Roaming Diagram
When access points boot, they scan the area and pick an RF carrier and time slot based upon the other beacons detected in the area. The access points also avoid using carriers and time slots already in use by using AP IDs (access point identification). Each access point in a system has to be set to a unique AP ID using the IPedit application. An algorithm based upon the AP ID of the access point forces access points to never select the same carrier and slots.
In high density beltpack areas where more than six wideband access points may be required, some access points may not detect an RF carrier already in use, that can result in roaming issues. The system works best if these scenarios are avoided by designing high density areas with good access point overlap. Figure 7 shows how all seven access points can detect and coordinate carriers and time slots with each other, even when there are more than six devices present. The 112 RSSI contour line can be measured by a beltpack using the site survey screen when testing an access point location. See “Perform a Site Survey” on page 46.

IMPORTANT: It is important if more than six wideband or ten narrowband access points are used to cover the same
area that all the access point be placed in a location where they can detect each other.

Home Connections

IMPORTANT: When configuring home connections, remember to assign the configured access point channels to the
OMI card in the Matrix (see “Connecting the Access Point to the Intercom” on page 59).
Each access point channel is a bi-directional OMNEO channel for audio, command, and control with the matrix. For a wideband system (CODEC G.722), there are five access point channels available to assign BPIDs. For a narrowband system (CODEC G.726), there are 10 access point channels available.

Home to Visitor Roaming

When a beltpack roams from its Home AP to a Visitor AP, a new OMNEO connection is made between both access points. However, before the new connection’s OMNEO channel is used, the new DECT RF connection must be confirmed as good. The new DECT RF connection is made before breaking from the old connection. This means the existing DECT RF link to the Home AP is maintained until the new DECT RF link to the Visitor AP is confirmed. When the connection is confirmed, the existing DECT RF link is dropped and the new OMNEO channel from the Visitor AP is used.

ROAMEO System Setup Checklist

❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐
Each beltpack has only one HOME access point.
Each system can have only one Sync Master access point (set in IPedit).
When subscribing a beltpack to the system, the beltpack must be within 40 feet (12 meters) of an access point in that system.
Each access point set to the G.722 CODEC can be a host for up to five beltpacks (no channels left for roaming beltpacks).
Recommend each G.722 access point only be loaded to four beltpacks to allow for roaming beltpacks.
Each access point set to the G.726 CODEC can be host for up to 10 beltpacks (no channels left for roaming beltpacks).
Recommend each G.726 access point only be loaded to eight beltpacks to allow for roaming beltpacks.
If the CODEC is changed for a system, the beltpacks must be subscribed again.
A system can only have all G.722 or all G.726 access points (no CODEC mixing is allowed).
Always have Ethernet connected to an access point before powering up the access point.
❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐
❐
The Ethernet network follows standard Ethernet practices.
Use only CAT5e UTP or better Ethernet cable.
Use only Layer 3 IP routing-capable, managed switches.
100Mbit networks can only have up to seven hops (A link between the Matrix and an Ethernet switch counts as a hop, each link after daisy chaining through an access point counts as a hop).
1GBit networks can only have up to 20 hops (A link between the Matrix and an Ethernet switch counts as a hop, each link after daisy chaining through an access point counts as a hop).
Maximum system size is 10 access points and 40 beltpacks.
The overlap RF coverage area between two adjacent access points should have an RSSI reading of 80 or better from each access point for error free roaming.
In a high density beltpack coverage area with more than six access points (G.722) or more than 10 access points (G.726) covering the area, all access points must be within each other’s -70dBm RF coverage contour (112 or better on the beltpack’s RSSI site survey screen).
If a PoE adapter is used, access points cannot be daisy-chained. Only one access point can be powered from the PoE adapter. For more information, see “Power Over Ethernet” on page 57.

CHAPTER 4
Site Survey

Description

Site Survey is the application (standard on the TR-1800) used to plan and design the ROAMEO system. Site survey provides crucial information on roaming coverage. With the ROAMEO site survey application, finding coverage areas for access points, even when obstacles are encountered, such as metal walls, reinforced concrete, metal-coated glass, etc. is easier to accomplish.
There are two ways to perform a site survey:
• With a Static IP Address
• With a Dynamic IP Address

Set Up Site Survey

With a simple setup, site survey can be used and evaluated.

Requirements

Required equipment for a simple setup:
• AP-1800 access point and power supply
• TR-1800 beltpack and battery
• Computer with an Ethernet port and IPedit software application installed
• Standard Ethernet cable

Prepare the Hardware

1. Install the antennas on the access point (see “Antenna connection and placement ” on page 51).
2. If performing a site survey without a matrix, use an Ethernet cable to connect the AP-1800 to the computer.
OR If performing a site survey with a matrix, use an Ethernet cable to connect the AP-1800 to the network.

Set Up an Existing System with a Dynamic IP Address

IMPORTANT: The computer should be set to obtain an IP Address automatically. The DHCP server for the matrix
must be enabled in the AZedit application before the computer delivers an IP Address.
To connect the AP-1800 to the matrix, do the following:
1. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the AP-1800 to the Matrix directly or via a network switch.
2. Connect one end of the power supply to the AP-1800 and the other end to the wall outlet.
The AP-1800 powers on.
3. Using IPedit, configure the OMI card with the AP-1800 unit.
NOTE: If the AP-1800 being used is already part of an operating system and a TR-1800 is subscribed to it, then no
more IP configuration is required. Turn off all other AP-1800 devices in the system so coverage of the single access point being tested can be found. For more information, see “Perform a Site Survey” on page 46.
For complete instructions on how to configure the AP-1800, see “Connecting the Access Point to the Intercom” on page 59.

Perform a Site Survey

A site survey is performed to determine the placement of access points to ensure RF coverage of the desired area. A beltpack, communicating with an access point at a test location, is set to the site survey screen where RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) and QF (Quality Factor) are both used to find the RF coverage area.

Pre-conditions

•
A beltpack has been successfully subscribed to an access point.
• A site map or blueprint of the building that can be marked up.
• Power can be supplied to the access point at the possible test locations either by using power extension
cables or battery power. For battery power, 12VDC @ 0.600 Amps must be available to the access point. A charged 12VDC battery rated for at least 2.4 Amp-hours is recommended for a typical site survey length of time. The input connector required for an access point is a 13.8mm long, female barrel,
2.5mm x 5.5mm connector.
IMPORTANT: The unit is marked 1.5 Amps. This is an upper limit set to handle peak loads when fully loaded. When
doing site surveys, an access point is not heavily loaded.
To perform a site survey, do the following:
1. Place the access point in the location to be tested for coverage.
2. Power up the access point.
When the power light turns to solid green, the access point is ready.
3. Power up the beltpack.
The splash screen momentarily displays and then the home screen appears.
NOTE: When the beltpack finishes booting, the home screen of the beltpack indicates a wireless
connection . If the wireless connection does not display, verify settings in the “Setup for a Site Survey” section.
4. Press the Menu button.
The beltpack main menu appears.

10. Walk around with the beltpack throughout the area(s) of interest while looking at the site survey screen.
NOTE: Record the RSSI and QF number on the building layout diagram at several locations throughout the area of
interest.
GOOD COVERAGE AREA DEFINITION
RSSI = 71-216, Site survey bar in the green.
QF = 7-10, Site survey bar in the green.
If the two indications are different, always use the worst case of the RSSI and QF indication for defining a good coverage area. Example: QF =10 and RSSI=71, use the RSSI level as the cutoff for the good coverage area.
NOTE: When enough data points are collected, draw a line on the building layout, using the coverage limits. If surveying
for roaming coverage, take note access point coverage is shown in Figure 6 on page 27.

Notes

• Try other access point locations to improve the RF coverage in the desired area, if needed.
• If setting up a roaming system, ensure a good overlap of coverage areas of the access points. Good
roaming between access point areas requires overlap of coverage for error free roaming.
• The access points that support roaming beltpacks should have an RSSI of >80 from each access point
involved in the overlap to provide error free roaming. See Figure 6 on page 27.
• In high beltpack density areas, where more than six access points on wideband (G.722) or more than 10
access points on narrowband (G.726) are required to provide coverage over the same area due to a larger number of beltpacks, it is important the access points are located in good RF coverage of each other. In these scenarios, the access points need to be within -70 dBm of each other. This translates to each access point should be in a coverage area with an RSSI reading of 112 or better on a site survey. See Figure 7 on page 28.

CHAPTER 5
Installation

Access Point Placement

The placement of access points can be critical for optimal RF performance of the system. When positioning the access points, place them in the best location for maximum, unimpeded coverage of the area. Installation of the access point should be high, above the area of interest, on a truss or ceiling. Tilt the antennas so they are approximately 15° to 30°. The access point could also be placed high on a vertical wall; in this case, the antennas should pointing straight up.

Site Survey

For more information, see “Site Survey” on page 39.

RF (Radio Frequency) Considerations

Keep antennas away from metal, as metal can detune them and distort the RF pattern. It is recommended to keep the antennas at least 2λ (2 * wavelength) from any parallel metal object (about 30 cm/12 inches), not including metal trusses or metal roofs. A metal roof, metal trusses, or the access point’s metal case become a reflector, offering advanced coverage by reflecting the RF signal down to the intended area of coverage, which can improve coverage. Note, when mounting to drywall, be aware of metal studs that can affect signal quality. Metal in walls can greatly attenuate or even block RF signals. In the case of a metal wall, it may become necessary to place another access point on the other side of the wall if continued coverage is desired.
The polarization of the access point antennas should match the polarization of the beltpack’s internal antennas when worn on the belt. The standard position of the antennas are vertical. This means the electrical field of the antennas is also vertical. For
best reception, the access point’s antennas should be in the vertical position, either straight up or straight down.

Antenna connection and placement

Antennas should be in the upright-most position for the best reception of signal. The antenna has a joint to adjust the angle, if needed.
To attach the antennas to the ROAMEO AP-1800, do the following:
1. Gently push the antenna into the antenna connector on the ROAMEO AP-1800. Take care to align the connector
pin with the antenna pin hole.
2. Turn the antenna clockwise to tighten in place.
NOTE: For permanent antenna installation, we recommend tightening the antennas so they cannot come loose from
vibration or if bumped. Hand-tighten the antenna, then using needle-nose pliers, grasp the serrated metal collar of the antenna and tighten about 1/16th inch (1.6 mm) more in the clockwise direction. This tightens the connector to about 5 lbf-in (0.56 Nm), the specification for a solid connection.

Power Over Ethernet

The access point is tolerant of PoE (Power Over Ethernet) voltages on the Ethernet network, but cannot be powered by PoE directly without an add-on accessory kit (see “Accessories and Replacement Parts” on page 155). The add-on accessory kit can be used when combined with an existing PoE (802.3af) or PoE+ (802.3at) managed Ethernet switch to provide power to the access point from the Ethernet network. Only one access point can be powered by this regulated Ethernet PoE splitter, due to the power consumption of the access points.

PoE Splitter Recommendation

The beltpack/access point subscription process begins. This process can last several seconds.
• If the subscription is successful, the beltpack displays the main operating screen.
• If the subscription is unsuccessful, an appropriate error message is displayed.
IMPORTANT: Once a beltpack is subscribed it requests a startup packet from the digital matrix. Beltpack subscription
is only required for new beltpacks, or when making changes to the intercom system. A subscribed beltpack can be turned off and on, its battery changed, etc. without re-subscribing.
On power-up, a subscribed beltpack displays a splash screen, and then switches to the main operating screen. It may take several minutes (depending on the size of the system) to download the start-up packets from the digital matrix. Once downloaded, the talk/listen icons on the screen are populated with key assignments.

Call Waiting Window

The CWW (Call Waiting Window) function is similar to traditional call waiting where up to four calls can be received and answered by the beltpack. The maximum number of calls stacked in the call waiting queue is four.
IMPORTANT: Only one call can be active at a time. To answer calls in the call waiting queue, the active call must be
released. Once the active call is released, the next call in the queue can begin.
When a call is received at a beltpack that is already engaged in a call, an audible chirp is heard and the alpha shown in the CWW window begins to blink. The alpha tally and audible chirp continue for 15 seconds and then stops. However, the call is still waiting to be answered. Once the first call is released, the second call is active and its alpha is seen in the CWW window.

Unassigned caller calls, another unassigned caller calls

When an unassigned call is received by the beltpack and a second unassigned call comes in:
• The alpha of the first call blinks in the CWW window and, if configured, an audible chirp is heard in the
headset until the call is answered or until the first call is released and the second caller is engaged.

Unassigned caller calls, an assigned caller calls

When an unassigned call is received by the beltpack and a second assigned call comes in:
• The alpha of the first call blinks in the CWW window and, if configured, an audible chirp is heard in the
headset until the call is answered or until the first call is released.
• Additionally, the red LED button associated with the assignment blinks, letting the beltpack user know
an assigned call is waiting in the queue.

RSTP

RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is a fault tolerant Ethernet protocol, which allows the system to be set up with multiple Ethernet connection paths to the same access points. This provides a redundant connection if one connection path fails. The RSTP connection paths prevent the possibility of packets getting into an infinite loop. RSTP is an IEEE standardized network protocol (802.1w) ensuring a loop-free topology for any Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network), evolved from STP (Spanning Tree Protocol). OMNEO fully supports RSTP IEEE802.1w.
When using switches that also support this technology, it is possible to create redundancy loops even with daisy-chained devices. It is needed to adjust the RSTP parameters of the switch to do this according to the following:
Hello Time: 9 seconds Maximum Age: 22 seconds Forward Delay: 30 seconds
This is supported by the major brand switches.
The root bridge of a Spanning Tree is automatically elected by means of the root priority. When all root priorities in a system are equal, the MAC Address of the system is used as a determiner. In general, OMNEO devices are not meant to become a root bridge, therefore by default, the root bridge priority advertised is a higher root bridge priority value (less important) than other network equipment. The OMNEO RSTP Root Bridge Priority is between 45056 and 61440 (default RSTP root priority is
32768) depending on the product.
When using RSTP care must be taken when designing the network. The maximum age parameter defines the maximum number of hops seen from the Root Bridge; the same spanning tree information is valid and can be used. Devices which are not in range of this specified maximum age are not part of the spanning tree and are not reachable in the network.
Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
F.01U.306.750
Rev. 01
86 Basic Operation ROAMEO System
RSTP uses a mechanism to calculate a spanning tree in a redundant connected network, each network device searches for the shortest path to the root bridge, offers this path to other to other devices, and administers which path can be used as an alternative path. Ports are assigned this role.
If a root port fails, an alternate port is used as the new root port. If there is no alternate port available, a new spanning tree is calculated.
RSTP is useful within OMNEO when connecting OMNEO devices redundantly (for example in a daisy chain or when connecting OMNEO devices to different switches for a redundancy scheme to limit the audio loss to less than 100ms)
IMPORTANT: If devices do not support RSTP, chains of device may not be connected redundantly. This means audio
is lost for a longer duration of time if the link fails inside the daisy chain. When the link is restored, a loop is created for a few seconds. The loop created could flood the local network.
