IQA-eNode

Ethernet to CS-Bus Firewall

 

Intelligent Internet Protocol Adapter Designed for Home Automation Requirements

The eNode™ provides an Internet Protocol (IP) data stream that can enable connection from the Internet to any CS-Bus networked devices (one to 65,000). A high speed, 32-bit embedded processor supports fast network communication while providing exceedingly fast generation and processing of keypad (menu button) HTML web pages embedded within the e-Node™.

 

Easy Installation

Small foot print allows unit to be installed easily behind the equipment rack. Industry standard RS-232-C and RS-485 interfaces (direct and pass-thru) permit easy connection to a home automation component.

 

Enables iPhone®/iTouch® Conenctivity

If the system is connected to a Wireless (802.11b/g) Access Point, remote monitoring, setup and control of supported clients/devices is also possible. Furthermore, any wireless enabled iPhone® or iTouch® can be used as a user interface device or for seamless set-up or commisioning or a CS-Bus system.

 

Built-in Real Time Internet Clock

If the eNode™ is connected to the Internet, a built-in Internet Clock within the e-Node™ can provide real time corrections to targeted device’s time clock settings year round automatically without user intervention. In addition, the device provides real time scheduling capabilities that can be used to automatically poll, analyze and control supported devices according to a pre-specified schedule.

 

Built-in Webpages for Easy Device Control

Keypad server pages are embedded within e-Node ™ device and are “served-up” on any connected wireless iPhone®, tTouch®, PocketPC®, notepad or Table PC. Individual zone or group or whole facility control is possible anywhere within the facility, inside or outside.

 

Built to Last

Design, verification and testing are critical to proper engineering design. In fact, the same engineers and team who have built the sophisticated electronic controllers driving today’s most popular printers and copiers have lent their expertise to the e-Node™ interface (ours). Unique technology integrated within the controller eliminates the need for components that have been found to fail within alternative systems. The system is designed to meet the highest reliability targets within the market and meets the most stringent emission requirements required by the FCC for both home and office/industrial use.
