1.2.5 Dialogic® Combined Media Board
A dialogic combined media board allows the Radius system to make and
receive phone calls. A voice-enabled Radius server includes one four-port
Dialogic board installed.
1.2.6 Two-Way Radio Interface
A two-way radio can be connected to the Radius server using a radio interface
box with a phone connection on one end and a 2.5mm jack to interface to a
base radio. The radio interface box will use one of the RJ11 jacks found on the
dialogic board.
1.2.7 Paging Base Station and Pagers
The Radius server can connect to a paging base station via one of the serial
ports to deliver POCSAG compliant messages to pagers.
1.3 Defining the Radius System
Every Radius system will differ depending on the specific application, but they
all have in common that they must turn alarms from end devices into alerts
delivered to the user.
Generally, Radius system components are defined as follows:
1.3.1 Monitored Devices
Monitored devices provide the alarm messages in a Radius system. Every
device that you are watching for an alarm must be defined as a monitored
device. This includes universal transmitters, pendants, door alarms,
temperature devices, smoke detectors, and motion detectors.
