How to Make a Wireless V series Panel
Issue to solve:
A shipping customer needs a V series intercom panel (from an Eclipse HX Pico in the main machine room) on the deck of their ship in a temporary office made from a shipping container. There is no provision for Cat6 cabling. There is 2.4GHz Wifi on the deck.
The solution is to create a wireless V series panel. You need the following: 2x LQ4W1x VSeries panelsAnd one of these: 1x http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/cat-11_TL-WA890EA.htmlThis is an entertainment router, it does lots ofthings around the home but primarily it makes devices that only have a wiredEthernet port- wireless.
This willdo the job in client mode. Also its on the Amazon.com USA website. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-Travel-Router-TL-WR902AC/dp/B01N5RCZQH/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501770499&sr=8-1&keywords=TP-Link+AC750+Dual+Band+Wi-Fi+Travel+Router
The entertainment router is accessed via a web configuration page, once in you tell it to connect to the local WiFI. Once this is done any wired device plugged into the entertainment router accesses the network via this wifi bridge.
The LQ devices allow our panels to be connected to a PICO matrix over IP by turning the analog audio and serial data for the panel into IP. This can then be transported over any ethernet network including Wifi. See the diagram below for wiring information.
