EN6080 Area Control Gateway Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Inovonics EN6080 area control gateway bridges the Inovonics proprietary
commercial mesh network to a standard TCP/IP over Ethernet LAN, allowing
the entire range of Inovonics physical security products to be added to any IP-
based or PSIA revision 0.8 compliant system using RESTful web services.
Inovonics security products include motion detectors, glassbreak sensors,
panic buttons and door/window sensors. All of these operate on the self-
monitored and fully-supervised Inovonics EchoStream commercial mesh
network. Designed to move small amounts of data over a moderate range in
commercial environments, the commercial mesh network uses a frequency-
hopping, spread-spectrum technology that sends redundant messages across
multiple channels to avoid interference obstacles.
Due to its low latency and high reliability, the EchoStream commercial mesh
network is an ideal solution for security applications. The network is secure
and dedicated, ensuring personal security messages are delivered without
interference from less critical applications.
The EN6080 area control gateway includes a built-in web page server for
complete system setup and configuration, as well as enhanced, on-demand
system supervision for detailed event audits.
This manual covers the EN6080 area control gateway’s web page server. For
