1.0 Product Description:
This document discusses the installation, configuration and use of the various
programs and hardware in the AES MultiNet Receiver uses. This Receiver is the
heart of the AES MultiNet system. All properly configured 7170 IP-Link
Transceivers (see section 1.4) will send their received AES●IntelliNet packets to
this Receiver via TCP/IP over a LAN, WAN, the Internet or if necessary and
equipped, via Modem (as backup), for distribution to the appropriate application
or external system.
1.1 About AES IntelliNet:
AES IntelliNet is a two-way data radio network for the monitoring of alarms or
transmission of specialized data packets. It is faster and more reliable than
telephone and cellular systems, which are subject to both tampering and general
failure. Phone lines may still be used for backup.
What makes the patented AES system unique are its “smart” radio
communicators, called subscriber units. Each subscriber unit is connected to an
alarm panel or specialized data port. Alarm information or data is transmitted by
radio to the central receiver or an “IP-Link Transceiver” (see section 1.4). If a
subscriber unit is too far away to reach the central station or an IP-Link
Transceiver directly, its message is relayed by another subscriber unit closer to or
in better communication with the central station or other closer units. This unique
built-in “repeater” capability creates a highly rugged, adaptive security network.
The system adjusts itself to forward messages by the shortest and best available
route. The “smart routing” capability is completely automated, with no special
programming needed. Also, by eliminating the need for dedicated repeaters and
towers, the AES system dramatically reduces the cost of setting up and operating
a wireless monitoring system.
1.2 MultiNet Receiver:
The AES 7705i MultiNet Receiver with integrated PC, Linux operating system
and IP-Link programs is housed in a 19” rack mountable enclosure. This device
acts as the central receiver. It is a specialized Linux based server with specific
programs running that acquire data packets from one or more IP-Link
Transceiver(s). AES Linux server software reads subscriber data from these IP-
Link transceivers via a TCP/IP socket connection. The server programs
categorize the incoming data and forward it to customer systems for further
processing. An example of this activity is alarm processing, where the server
software identifies an alarm received by an IP-Link, sent by a Subscriber attached
to an alarm panel, processes it, then forwards an alarm message to a customer’s
alarm automation software.
The software installation consists of several AES programs that process the data
and a web-based GUI for server administration and subscriber configuration. The
AES programs rely on open system components, including the Apache web server
with php, and the MySQL database, to process the subscriber data.

40-7705I-UM Page 7 Rev 6a March 1, 2018
Other programs in the MultiNet receiver evaluate and distribute the data to an
appropriate application on this machine or another located on the LAN, WAN or
Internet. These other applications may re-distribute the data, store it in a database
for later retrieval, send it out a local RS232 serial COM port, send it out a printer
port or perform whatever function the application is designed. A single MultiNet
Receiver can have multiple IP-Link Transceivers installed locally or anywhere
connected by a TCP/IP connection. This capability allows the IntelliNet network
to be expanded virtually to any location desired that is serviced by the LAN,
WAN or Internet.
1.3 7170 IP-Link Transceivers:
These units communicate to the MultiNet Receiver via a direct Ethernet
connection, LAN, WAN or the Internet. Models have an integrated Modem to
communicate using a phone line if the TCP/IP connection is down. The IP-Link
acts much like a subscriber that re-transmits its received data packets via the
TCP/IP connection rather than via an RF transmission. This allows the IP-Link
Transceiver to be located outside of RF communication with a central station
receiver and the expansion of the IntelliNet system into previously unreachable
locations. They should be installed with the same care that a central station
receiver would as they are usually the primary path to the central receiver
location. Multiple IP-Link Transceivers can be installed in a single RF cloud to
act as backup or to provide multiple paths for subscribers in a geographical area.
Each IP-Link Transceiver can operate at the same frequency or at another.
Operating at other frequencies allows for an overcrowded region to get a new
clear frequency and still be able to be managed by the same receiver. It also
allows the expansion into other regions, states, countries or islands where
regulations may require operation at a different frequency than your other IP-Link
Transceivers. Document Conventions:
<Key> Characters between angled brackets refer to a specific key on the
keyboard.

40-7705I-UM Page 14 Rev 6a March 1, 2018
4.0 Installation and Setup :
A separate “Initial Installation and Setup Guide” is provided to
guide you through the initial installation and setup.
A standalone Receiver requires a monitor, keyboard and mouse for user interface.
See Figure 4-1. The standalone configuration is not recommended by AES
Corporation for anything other than initial setup and preliminary testing of the
system. Once properly configured and connected to a LAN, a network
workstation is used to access and configure the receiver remotely. See Figure 4-2
and Figure 4-3.
A printer is also required for printing any output directed to the printer port.
Refer to Appendix F for a listing of printed messages. Ethernet port(s) are
integrated into the PC, and are used to connect to the IP-Link Transceiver(s) and
external applications on remote servers or systems via direct connection, LAN,
WAN or the Internet.
A system, while it may not have a keyboard, video monitor or mouse
connected during normal operation, will require these peripherals connected
directly for initial setup until remote access is accomplished. They may also
be needed later for occasional configuration modifications.
The 7705i, monitor and any network related equipment shall be connected to a
suitable UL-UPS to maintain power during power outages.
In a Dual system, each 7705i and the 7170 IP-Link Transceiver shipped, is
configured exactly the same. At least one set must be modified to operate the two
pairs together in the same TCP/IP network. Each device in the system must have
unique TCP/IP addresses. Each 7170 must have a unique Unit ID for the
IntelliNet Network it will operate in.
Figures 4-1, 4-2 & 4-3 on next pages illustrate some typical system installations.
The illustration on page 8 also illustrates a typical system.

40-7705I-UM Page 15 Rev 6a March 1, 2018
Notes:
Power Line, router/ switch, and telephone connections shall not leave the
room where the AES equipment is installed. This must be accomplished
by co-locating outlets and interfacing equipment in the room where AES
equipment resides.
7705i must be installed in a UL Listed metal rack-mounting cabinet that
complies with UL864. The cabinet must be provided with integral outlets
and the ability to connect AC input via conduit. All wiring exiting the

1481 power supply. In addition, the central station shall have a generator
to maintain power for the receiving equipment and environmental
controls for a period up to 24 hours or longer.
A UL Listed UPS or generator to supply 24 hours of standby must be
installed and utilized at the monitoring station. If the primary power
source at the monitoring station is lost or otherwise faulted, this condition
must be obvious to the operator on duty.
Equipment Location: A UL 7705i MultiNet Receiver must be
installed in a room where operators can properly hear the Audio Alert
Sounder.
When connecting the 7705i MultiNet Receiver’s modem to a telephone
line, a UL Listed 497A Secondary Protector is required to be installed on
the incoming lines. Installation shall be in accordance with the NEC
Article 800, the manufactures installation instructions and in accordance
with all local codes.
When connecting the 7705i MultiNet Receiver’s Ethernet ports to a
network, a UL Listed 497B Secondary Protector is required to be
installed on the Ethernet cable. Installation shall be in accordance with
the NEC Article 800, the manufactures installation instructions and in
accordance with all local codes.
4.1 Software Installation:
All necessary software is pre-installed on your 7705i.
If your system has a catastrophic failure it may require the reinstallation of the
Linux operating system and the specialized IP-Link software programs. BIOS
settings should also be checked to confirm that the unit would initialize and
operate properly. Routine backing up of the databases to another storage device
would be essential in any successful reinstallation or recovery process.
Contact AES Technical Support if you need assistance with software installation
or BIOS settings.

5.0 System Startup and Access:
AES ships the 7705i MultiNet Receiver with the Linux operating system and IP-
Link programs pre-installed and with basic configuration already complete to
operate as shown in Figure 4-1. Each installation will have site-specific
parameters that would typically be changed or entered during initial installation
and setup.
Refer to separate guide for assistance with initial setup.
Familiarity with the Linux operating system will be necessary to run programs
that operate, control and configure your IP-Link system. Refer to Appendix A for
a list of some common Linux commands you might use in this process.
5.1 1st Time Notes:
The first time that the MultiNet Receiver is powered up, it will require some
configuration specific to the unique installation environment in which it is to be
used. A directly attached keyboard, monitor and mouse will be needed to perform
this configuration. Refer to separate Initial Installation and Setup Guide. Do not
connect the Ethernet ports to an active network until you are confident the TCP/IP
settings are appropriate for the target network.
5.2 Power up:
If this is a standalone system, or if you are still configured for initial setup as
shown on Figure 4-1 with an attached keyboard, monitor and mouse, turn on
power of the attached video monitor.
Switch the power of the 7705i to the on position. The main switch for the power
supply is on the back panel. This must be switched to on first. Then if the startup
process does not automatically begin, push the Power push button Switch on the
front panel to initiate the startup process.
Once the startup process has begun, the 7705i MultiNet Receiver will initialize,
going through its normal boot sequence executing the programs defined in the
configuration files. Password protected remote access through VNC is factory
configured. Web access to the Admin GUI, which is an html-based interface,
should be available after a proper startup, assuming the network settings are
properly configured for the receiver’s attached network.

5.3 Power Down - Information:
The power to the 7705i should not just be removed without going through the
proper shut down procedure.
DO NOT REMOVE POWER OR TURN OFF POWER of the 7705i
MultiNet Receiver WITHOUT USING THE PROPER SHUT DOWN
PROCEDURE!
This receiver is a Linux server and improper shut down could damage files and
prevent operation. There are several ways to shut down a Linux server. Linux
provides a command named “shutdown ” to perform this function.
● To shut down a MultiNet receiver, enter the following command from a
command line prompt:
shutdown –h now<Enter> Or
● To shut down a MultiNet receiver from the GUI, right click on the desktop and
select “Shutdown Server!”
5.4 Local Access and Login: - Initial Setup
Local access means to operate the MultiNet Receiver using a keyboard, monitor
and mouse that are connected directly to the back of the Receiver. Login is
required to operate the Receiver in this manner.
After a successful power-up, you should be presented with the login prompt “aes
login:” You may have to press <Enter> after the boot up process to get the actual
login prompt. Note the lines at the top of the display in Figure 5-1. They are
typically the last lines seen before the login prompt on the display for a normal
boot up. Press <Enter> after these lines are displayed if the “aes login” is not
displayed. For Super user Administrator functions you need to login as root
using the current password. The factory default password for user root is
peabody2.
At the “aes login” prompt, type
root<Enter> then
peabody2<Enter>.
Note: After initial setup, if the password has been changed, as it should be,
use the current password for user root to login to perform setup and
configuration functions.
○Be sure to log out when finished. See “User Logout”
○The user root is the most powerful Super user in a Linux server.
Do not leave the system unattended when logged in as root!
○User root should only be used to perform administrative functions!
○To prevent unauthorized access –change default passwords as
described in “Managing Users”, section 9.
When the startup and login process is complete, you should be presented with the
command prompt “[root@aes root]#”. See Figure 5-1 below. Enter key may need
to be pressed before the prompt is actually displayed.
