RF-NET Access Point 7

Introduction

Introduction

Description

The Access Point is part of the OMEGA-system.
It establishes the connection between the OMEGA locking devices and the overall control centre via a radio frequency (RF) link.
The master computer is a commercial PC with the OMEGA software.
The Access Point is connected with the control centre via an RJ45-Ethernet cable (10/100 MBit). The Access Point is thus the network interface of the system.
The desired access authorizations are created in the control centre and transmitted via the Ethernet to the Access Points. The Access Points then transmit the authorizations over the RF link to the locking devices. In return, the log data are retrieved from the cylinders and then fed back to the control centre via the Ethernet.
The wide range of the Access Points allows a wireless deployment of locking cylinders and wall terminals. No further installation work on your doors is required.
Parts of the software are covered by the BSD license. Please notice the copyright notices under: copying liquorice.txt and copying-gpl.txt.
8 RF-NET Access Point
Introduction
The stated reading ranges of 25 m cannot be guaranteed as the reading range depends on the local building conditions. CEStronics recommends to have your building situation checked by your professional CEStronics partner.
For further information on the available options, please contact your CEStronics partner.
Other features of the Access Point:
Integrated 868 MHz RF transceiver. The maximum RF range to the locking devices is 25 metres. Power supply of the Access Point with the supplied power
pack. No other power supplies are permitted.
Two colour LEDs at the Ethernet connection for visual
signalization of data traffic.
Available accessories for the Access Point: D-LAN™ adapter (System Powerline, to implement IP
networks using the 230 V power network). This option makes it possible to transmit the network signal via the 230 V power network using suitable adapters. This means that no separate network cables must be installed.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) adapter. To reduce the
installation expense and increase the failure prevention you can supply the Access Point with power via the network interface. This eliminates the need to use the plug-in power supply.

RF ranges

Ensure that the permissible RF ranges are observed. Install
the devices within the maximum RF range of 25 metres.

Checking the range

The optional RF-TRACE-MASTER transponder card allows you to check the quality of the radio frequency (RF) link between the OMEGA server and your locking devices.
The RF-TRACE-MASTER triggers the following signals of your locking devices:
Green LED of your locking cylinder, IES fitting or wall
terminal flashes twice: strong RF link.
Green LED of your locking cylinder, IES fitting or wall
terminal flashes once: adequate RF link.
If the red LED of your locking device flashes, the RF link is
not OK and must be checked.
14 RF-NET Access Point
Introduction
If the red and the green LEDs flash alternately or
simultaneously, the RF link is weak and should be checked to ensure full functionality and reliability.
To verify the quality of the RF link to your locking devices, proceed as follows:
Hold the RF-TRACE-MASTER for about two seconds in front
of your locking cylinder or wall terminal.
The function is performed immediately.
