1.0 Product Description:
This document discusses the installation, configuration and use of the various
programs and hardware in the AES MultiNet Receiver uses. This Receiver is the
heart of the AES MultiNet system. All properly configured 7170 IP-Link
Transceivers (see section 1.4) will send their received AES●IntelliNet packets to
this Receiver via TCP/IP over a LAN, WAN, the Internet or if necessary and
equipped, via Modem (as backup), for distribution to the appropriate application
or external system.
1.1 About AES IntelliNet:
AES IntelliNet is a two-way data radio network for the monitoring of alarms or
transmission of specialized data packets. It is faster and more reliable than
telephone and cellular systems, which are subject to both tampering and general
failure. Phone lines may still be used for backup.
What makes the patented AES system unique are its “smart” radio
communicators, called subscriber units. Each subscriber unit is connected to an
alarm panel or specialized data port. Alarm information or data is transmitted by
radio to the central receiver or an “IP-Link Transceiver” (see section 1.4). If a
subscriber unit is too far away to reach the central station or an IP-Link
Transceiver directly, its message is relayed by another subscriber unit closer to or
in better communication with the central station or other closer units. This unique
built-in “repeater” capability creates a highly rugged, adaptive security network.
The system adjusts itself to forward messages by the shortest and best available
route. The “smart routing” capability is completely automated, with no special
programming needed. Also, by eliminating the need for dedicated repeaters and
towers, the AES system dramatically reduces the cost of setting up and operating
a wireless monitoring system.
1.2 MultiNet Receiver:
The AES 7705i MultiNet Receiver with integrated PC, Linux operating system
and IP-Link programs is housed in a 19” rack mountable enclosure. This device
acts as the central receiver. It is a specialized Linux based server with specific
programs running that acquire data packets from one or more IP-Link
Transceiver(s). AES Linux server software reads subscriber data from these IP-
Link transceivers via a TCP/IP socket connection. The server programs
categorize the incoming data and forward it to customer systems for further
processing. An example of this activity is alarm processing, where the server
software identifies an alarm received by an IP-Link, sent by a Subscriber attached
to an alarm panel, processes it, then forwards an alarm message to a customer’s
alarm automation software.
The software installation consists of several AES programs that process the data
and a web-based GUI for server administration and subscriber configuration. The
AES programs rely on open system components, including the Apache web server
with php, and the MySQL database, to process the subscriber data.
