Management
InterChange
iQ 2000 products are designed for years of error-free running with little, or no,
requirement for management involvement once initial set-up is complete. Normally
any network faults are notified and diagnosed from alarms provided by the attached
equipment, after interaction with the InterChange unit, and it is superfluous and confusing to
network operations staff to have these indications repeated at a second interface.
For the rare cases where installation philosophy requires direct notification of alarms,
InterChange
iQ 2000 and iQ 2000plus have four types of management interface:
• LEDs,
• A relay which can make or break an alarm circuit in the event of a major hardware
related failure,
• An RS-232 serial interface which can be used for fault diagnosis and configuration
management, either from a locally connected PC running Vision iQ, or from a
remote PC via a modem link, and
• Ethernet.
These interfaces operate concurrently and quite independently.
