Addresses and the RVON-1
11.
Gently secure the board in place
NOTE
: Be sure the orientation of the board is correct, otherwise undesirable effects may occur. Make sure the RJ-45
connection is positioned so it will fit through the specified knockout on the back cover. When installing the RVON-1 card in an
existing KP-32 or KP-812, each keypanel needs to be upgraded to include the following:
KP-32
•
A backplate that allows for the RJ-45 connection (Ethernet).
•
Larger flash chips.
KP-812
•
A backplate that allows for the RJ-45 connection (Ethernet)
•
Extension for the RJ-45 connector.
RVON-1 Relay
When connected to an Ethernet LAN, audio comes from the RVON-1 card; and, when Ethernet is not plugged in, the audio
comes from the AIO connection. Note, the user does not need to remove the RVON-1 to switch to AIO mode.
WARNING
: You cannot have both an Ethernet connection and an AIO connection simultaneously. If the Ethernet and AIO
are connected simultaneously, no audio communication will occur.
Addresses and the RVON-1
Because the RVON-1 has an Ethernet interface, it is required to have a MAC (Media Access Control) Address. This is a low
level address that contains 48 bits. Do NOT confuse this address with an IP (Internet Protocol) Address. In order to be IP com-
pliant, all cards must have a unique MAC ID when shipped from the manufacturer. Typically, the MAC ID of a piece of hard-
ware, such as the RVON-1 card, has a fixed or static address. Where as the RVON-1 card’s IP Address can change over time.
The MAC Address uniquely identifies each node of a network and interfaces directly with the network media. The RVON-1
card has a small 8-pin serial device on the board that the processor can read the unique MAC Address from. For more
information on MAC IDs, contact technical support.
NOTE
: Each RVON-1 card needs to be programmed with its own IP Address.
