2.3.4 Ethernet Concentrators
Ethernet Concentrators are network devices that receive all data passed
from Sensors through Collectors, format the data, and send it as a data
packet to a computer over a LAN. Up to four Collectors can be connected
to one Ethernet Concentrator. Each Ethernet Concentrator is assigned an
IP address, which is how the data is communicated to the Data Server.
2.3.5 Optional Hardware
Badge Tester (VER-0005)
A Badge Tester tests the battery and auxiliary information from the badge. It
will indicate whether a valid IR packet is received and if the battery needs to be
replaced. If a valid IR packet is received, the tester will display all badge details
and flash a red LED in the corner. Badge information includes the badge
number, T-count, button press state(s), motion state, and battery state. The tester
does not test RF function.
Auto Assigner (VER-4440)
The Auto Assigner makes the badge assignment process fast
and easy. By placing a Versus IR or combination IR/RF
badge under the unit, the Versus Badge Wizard automatically
pops up on the computer screen and fills in the badge number
field without the need to manually type in each badge number
during the assignment process. Requires the Event Monitor
software.

inches in length. Up to five Digital I/O Boards can be installed in one
computer, assuming there are five PCI slots available, to control up to 480
relays. Includes a ribbon cable to connect to two external relay boards.
Requires at least one external relay board (VER-3015).
External Relay Board (VER-3015)
The external relay board controls up to 48 relay-controlled
devices, such as corridor lights, door locks, etc. Two
External Relay Boards can be connected to one Digital I/O
Board. Requires Digital I/O Board (VER-3010).
