1 Introduction
TFortis integration units are designed to connect TFortis PSW
switches to security systems. Integration units have discrete inputs and relay
outputs, RS-485 and Ethernet ports.
Teleport integration units perform the following functions:
Broadcasting RS-485 over Ethernet
RS-485 to Ethernet conversion
Broadcast dry contacts over Ethernet
Transmitting of alarm events from PSW switches
Remote control of automation

Broadcasting RS-485 over Ethernet

Integration of video surveillance and perimeter security
systems
Two devices: Teleport-1 and Teleport-2 allow you to organize “Virtual channel” RS-485
over Ethernet. At the same time, the ready-made transport infrastructure is used and there
are no restrictions on the length of the RS-485 line. Thus, in the presence of an existing
video surveillance system, you can very easily deploy perimeter security system. The
Teleport-2 unit, in addition to the RS-485 port, allows you to supply power to the
detectors, while at the same time it is powered by the same cable that connects to the
switch (PoE) .
Fig 1.1 Application for perimeter security systems
1.2 Remote control of devices with RS-485 interface
Similar to the application with perimeter security systems, you can use the RS-485
broadcast over Ethernet to control actuators, for example, a servo drive for some PTZ
cameras that are located at a considerable distance from the server.
