Chapter 1
Radius Overview
1.1 About Radius
Radius is a revolutionary alert server and awareness engine. Designed to link
people to events in life-safety situations, Radius combines the latest mass
notification capabilities with advanced positioning technology to provide
detailed location information.
Radius provides the central nervous system for your Physical Security
Information Management system. The system integrates data from traditional
security devices, even IP-enabling legacy security and fire panels to do so,
and then coordinates an appropriate response. The location functionality
provided by Inovonics® Positioning Technology™ then ensures those alarms
can be located, so that the response can be effective.
Radius allows users to monitor a variety of end-devices; interface to fire,
access control, and environmental systems; and provide notification to mobile
devices such as cell phones, pagers, and two-way radios.

1.2 Defining the Radius System
Every Radius system will differ depending on the specific application, but they
all have in common that they must turn alarms from end devices into alerts
delivered to the user.
Generally, Radius system components are defined as follows:
1.2.1 Monitored Devices
Every device that you are watching for an alarm must be defined as a
monitored device. This includes universal transmitters, pendants, door alarms,
smoke detectors, and motion detectors.
1.2.2 Device Categories
Every monitored device must belong to a category. If you are using motion
detectors, you will need a motion detector category; if you are using pendants,
you need a pendant category. It is in the device category section that you
determine what you want Radius to do when an alarm occurs at a monitored
device.
Radius Overview
1.2.3 Alert Devices
Every device that will receive an alert from Radius must be defined here,
including pagers, phones, and email addresses.
• Any device to which you want to send a quick message or reminder must
be set up in alert devices.
• Any device that you want included in an alarm escalation under modes
and actions must be set up in alert devices.
• If you want to put together an alert group, all members of the group must
be set up in alert devices.
1.2.4 Alert Groups
This feature allows you to create groups of alert devices that will always be
contacted together. Alert groups are especially useful in situations where you
wish to contact a large group of people; by creating an alert group, you only
have to choose a single entry to send a quick message or reminder.
• If you want to put together an alert group, all members of the group must
be set up in alert devices.
6.24.13 06325C © Inovonics, 2013 - www.inovonics.com 8
1.2.5 Modes and Actions
Alarms can be escalated using the modes and actions option. This will allow
you to set up time schedules (modes) and specific alarm responses (actions)
for each device category.
1.3 Radius Server Components
1.3.1 Radius Server
The Radius server is a Windows XP embedded server typically connected to
the local area network (LAN) to allow existing users to view and administer the
Radius system on their workstations.
The Radius server includes four serial ports, one Ethernet port, six USB ports
and four analog telephone jacks.
Radius Overview
• The Radius server requires 110VAC power with an uninterrupted power
supply and an ethernet connection.
1.3.2 Network Coordinator
The network coordinator manages signals between the wireless end devices
in the Radius system and the Radius server.
• The network coordinator requires 110VAC power.
• Generally speaking, the network coordinator should be mounted in an
elevated position, away from metal.
• The network coordinator should be mounted no more than 25 feet away
from the Radius server.
1.3.3 High Power Repeater
The high power repeater intelligently amplifies transmissions from any
Inovonics EchoStream end device, while ignoring background noise. Virtually
any number of repeaters can be added to a system, scaling the system size as
needed.
• The high power repeater requires 110VAC power.
Radius can also use the high power repeater network to provide the
approximate location of wireless end devices sending alert signals.

Radius Overview
1.3.4 Wireless End Devices
The Radius system can incorporate any Inovonics wireless end device,
including:
1.3.4.1 Pendant Transmitters
Inovonics wireless pendant transmitters offer virtually limitless opportunities for
panic/duress, life safety, and many custom applications.
• http://www.inovonics.com/pendant-transmitters.aspx
1.3.4.2 Universal Transmitters
Inovonics universal transmitters are designed for use with almost any standard
contact or sensor. They are available in a number of configurations for almost
any application.
• http://www.inovonics.com/universal-transmitters.aspx
1.3.4.3 Specialized Transmitters
Inovonics specialized transmitters are used for unique security, pulse
counting, temperature, and custom applications.
• http://www.inovonics.com/specialized-transmitter.aspx
1.3.5 Dialogic® Combined Media Board
A dialogic combined media board allows the Radius system to make and
receive phone calls. A voice-enabled Radius server includes one four-port
Dialogic board installed.
• The Dialogic combined media board can only be used with a standard
analog phone line. The combined media board will not work with a digital
phone line.
1.3.6 Two-Way Radio Interface
A two-way radio can be connected to the Radius server using a radio interface
box with a phone connection on one end and a 2.5mm jack to interface to a
base radio. The radio interface box will use one of the RJ1 1 jacks found on the
dialogic board.
