==== Adding devices ====
 
−
Add two GPD devices, one Node device and one Station device.
 
−
* Right click the Node device and select the custom NodeStatus Icon Set.
 
−
* Right click the GPD devices and select the GPD custom Icon Set.
 
−
Place the icons on the map by drag and drop.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Startup script====
 
−
If the VSOP is started after the IPHA monitor scripts have already run in the ICX-AlphaCom Event Handler, the status is unknown for the VSOP, so a startup script is needed the force the Event Handler to resend the status:
 
−
[[File:IPHA example9.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Click Menu <br> 2: Click Global Settings <br> 3: Enable Startup script <br> 4: Click the three dots to open the editor <br> 5: Add a script to start a 10 second timer]]
 
−
<br style="clear:both;" />
 
−
 
 
−
==== Filter ====
 
−
In order to catch the custom parameters sent from the Event Handler we need a filter, and this filter must be tied to an Intercom station.
 
−
[[File:IPHA example10.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Click Filter sets <br> 2: Click Global Settings <br> 3: Enable Startup script <br> 4: Click the three dots to open the editor <br> 5: Add a script to start a 10 second timer]]

Create a custom filter:
 
−
[[File:IPHA example11.png|thumb|left|500px|1: Give the filter a name <br> 2: Select '''On Custom params''' <br> 3: Enter a text to be shown in the VSOP Journal <br> 4: Enter the script]]

This article shows possible solutions for redundancy with the ICX-AlphaCom server.

ICX-AlphaCom redundancy

For redundancy between ICX-AlphaCom servers, see Redundant Servers - ICX-AlphaCom.

  • High availability and fault tolerant solution maximizing uptime during
    • System level failures
    • Environment-level failures (power outage, fire, earthquake, etc.)
    • Planned outage for system maintenance and upgrades
  • Maximum downtime at switch-over (552 stations) is 35 seconds
Redundant ICX-AlphaCom system


Power Supply redundancy

The ICX-AlphaCom normally has one power supply, and it only supports one power input. Using third party products it is possible to Increase durability by adding a solution for redundant power.

Such a full redundant system might look like this:

An example Power Supply configuration with optional TKIS-2 to provide Power Supply and ICX-500 monitoring:

RCO or RCI

Any physical inputs and/or outputs needs to communicate with the server via an IP device such as the TKIS-2 or an IP-LCM. These devices, as any other IP device in a redundant system must register and communicate with the operational IP address, and thus always be online with the active server.

Serial Port

The ICX-AlphaCom does not have a serial port and must use an Ethernet-to-serial converter. Since the ICX-AlphaCom redundancy system is using a singular IP address as the operational IP address the solution is to have the converter pointed at the operational IP address, and will work fine, independent on which server is the active one.

Monitoring

Monitoring the redundancy and logging is explained in this article: IPHA - Monitoring server status

The server redundancy, and/or the power redundancy can be monitored and presented live on a PC monitor using VS-Operator. See article Monitoring redundancy in VS Operator for more details.
