8.3.4 Remote IMACS Terminal System (RITS)
The Remote IMACS Terminal System (RITS) is a special application for users using
microwave transmission. Using communication software, a user can log into a number of
different systems from a single control station (PC, MAC, Sun, or HP Workstation) to
download alarm information, change card settings, and perform maintenance.
Systems are connected from the Interface card’s COM port to a wireless control network
through the RS232 input on one of the four service channels on the wireless network. The
Control Station (PC) is connected to pin #2 out and #3 in. Each of the integrated access
controllers is connected to RS232 pin #2 in and pin #3 out.
The actual number of the systems that can be connected together is determined by the amount
of different numbers that can fit in the “SYS PH#” field in the CPU submenu. The CPU
submenu is accessed by selecting a CPU through the user interface and pressing the
<ENTER> key.
8.3.4.1 Identification
Each system has a unique identification number on the integrated access controller network
(phone number). The unique identification number is used to determine which Controller can
be accessed remotely on a serial line. The identification number for each console needs to be
entered in the “SYS PH#” field in the CPU submenu. No two systems can have the same
number in the “SYS PH#” on the same network. If that field is the same on more than one
integrated access controller, race conditions will occur. Therefore each console on a single
network must have an individual number in the “SYS PH#” field.
