3 Overview
Cerberus PACE is a network-based voice alarm and announcement system that
complies with the requirements of EN 54-16 and allows for a decentralized and
redundant system structure. It is an important feature of the system that the critical
risks of single point of failure vulnerabilities are eliminated.
A typical Cerberus PACE system is comprised of digital audio matrices, amplifiers,
operating terminals, and call stations. Ethernet switches are used to link these
components to a network via copper or fiber-optic cables.
A typical Cerberus PACE Compact system is comprised of Cerberus PACE
Compact voice alarm panels, operating terminals and call stations. The voice alarm
panels contain an audio matrix and power amplifiers. They can be extended with
system operating and call station equipment.
Cerberus PACE systems are configured in real-time using the 'PACE-Design'
system software.
An EN 54-4-certified power supply guarantees uninterrupted operation and high
system availability.
You can use the 'PACE-Design' software to configure 'PACE-Net' devices in real
time over an Ethernet interface. 'PACE-Net' is executed on layer 2 in the OSI
model and 'PACE-Net' devices are identified by their MAC address and station ID.
3.1 Basic functions
