RTS OMNEO Quick guide

OMNEO Configuration
Notes
There will be several application plug-ins required for the Firmware Upload Tool. Using the above suite
tool will install them all, Windows may seek approval depending on the User account and they will
install individually. It is necessary for them all to be installed. Firmware downloads will fail without the
necessary plug-ins.
To verify that they have been installed go to C:\Program Files\Bosch\OMNEO\Firmware Upload
Tool\UploadPlugins and check against the list below. A minimum for an OMI card upgrade you will
require the Microblaze, FPGANios and Host Processor plug-ins.

OMNEO Requirements
For specific network requirements refer to the OMNEO Network Requirements and
Considerations document.
OMNEOSuite
1. Open the OMNEOSuite file and double-click Setup.exe and check AZedit, IPedit and OMNEO
Firmware Upload Tool. The Bosch DNS-SD Service will automatically be checked as it is
necessary. This software packages will then install.
Firmware for MCII-e controllers and keypanels that support OMNEO is also supplied.

OMNEO OMI Card Configuration
1. Use the Quick Start Guide OMI – OMNEO Matrix Interface to install the OMI card into an
ADAM or ADAM-M.
2. Connect the OMI card to your network via the Ethernet Connector J1 or the fibre connector.
3. Using AZedit under Options\Preferences\Discovery select your network interface from the
drop down list that will be used for the OMNEO configuration.
4. Using AZedit under Options\Port Allocation table assign port numbers to the OMI card.

OMNEO Configuration
Notes
*1OMNEO devices are discovered via their Device Names and also configured using Device names
(unlike RVON which uses the IP addresses). It is important to configure your OMNEO devices with a
suitable name for this purpose. Default names are provided but can be changed. The device name
should not need to change on a daily basis.
.

5. Under System\Miscellaneous\OMNEO Configuration you can configure the OMI cards Device
Name*1,network settings, channel configuration and pass-through data settings.
The OMI cards can use fixed addressing, DHCP or Link Local addressing. DHCP addresses
for OMI and OKI devices can be provided from a third party DHCP Server capable switch or
router on your network, via the MCII-e controllers or via an ARNI device.
oLink local addressing uses the following ranges: IP 169.254.0.0/16 (Subnet
255.255.0.0)
oThe MCII-e controllers would need to have an IP address in the link local range as
would your PC.
To change IP address settings of the MCII-e controllers you need to be connected via a serial
J1 session. Under Options\Ethernet setup you can change the IP addresses of the
controllers.

OMNEO Configuration
Notes
DHCP Relay should be checked when using the MCII-e as the DHCP Server and running more than
one subnet. E.g. if you have 4 x OMI cards in a matrix, all on different subnets. Normally the MCII-e
would only be assigned to one subnet. By checking the DHCP Relay box this allows the MCII-e to issue
the defined DHCP addresses to the other 3 subnets. A maximum of 8 different subnets can be
created.

6. To set the MCII-e controllers to provide DHCP go to Options\DHCP Server Configuration.
Check the Enable DHCP Server box and enter the range for the addresses in the First IP
Address and Last IP Address fields. Enter the gateway information if applicable and the
netmask.
7. Connect your keypanel OKI module/s to the network. Under the Menu\Service\OMNEO
Setup\OKI item you can set the device name, enable or disable DHCP and set the IP
parameters. Enable DHCP or set a fixed IP address, netmask and gateway under IP
Parameters. You can also change the device name in IPedit.

IPEdit
8. Open IPEdit and under Edit\Preferences\Discovery select your network interface from the drop
down list that will be used for the OMNEO configuration.
9. Go to Device\Add\Search and any available OMNEO devices should show up in the list.
Highlight your devices in turn and click Add. If you do not see your devices you can manually
enter the device name or IP address of the device in the Name or IP Address field on the Add
tab.

10. Under Edit\Preferences\Catalog you can configure how the devices appear in the catalogue.
Make sure Show device name and Show devices by type are checked.
11. To configure your devices select them from the catalog on the left. To change IP settings you
will need to log in as an administrator. This is done via the Device\Change User menu.
Username: admin
Password: password
If the device is set to DHCP then the IP address fields will populate automatically. You can
check the Use Static IP Settings to manually enter in a fixed IP address, subnet and gateway.

OMNEO Configuration
Notes
If you only enter an IP address in the Destination IP Address field without selecting the device name
the OMNEO devices will not establish a connection. The Device Name field must always be populated.
To connect an OKI keypanel to an OMI card you must use Channel 1 on the OKI. Keypanel data is
only provided on Channel 1. Channel 2 is for an auxiliary audio connection.

12. To configure the OMI card to connect to an OKI device highlight your OMI device from the
Catalog on the left. Select the appropriate channel from the channel columns in the middle of
the screen. Click the Destination Type down arrow and from the dropdown list select OKI-2.
13. Click the Destination Device Name field for your channel and then click the […] button.
Double-click .local and select your OKI device name from the list. This is why it is important to
configure a device name (the system will suffix incremental numbers against device names if
they are the same) as devices are discovered and configured via this, not IP addresses as
previously used with RVON products. The IP Address and Destination Description fields will
automatically populate.

14. Click the Destination Channel field down arrow and select the correct destination channel on
the OKI keypanel you wish to use. Keypanel data is only provided on channel 1. Channel 2
would be used for an auxiliary audio connection. The Destination Channel Description will
automatically populate if you have enter names into the Channel Description fields on your
destination device.
15. Click the Send All Changes button to send all of the changes made to your OMI card.

16. Repeat the process for the destination OKI keypanel. Highlight your OKI from the Catalog on
the left. Select the destination type as OMI-XX (representing number of channels – so in this
example OMI-64).
17. Click the Destination Device Name field for your channel and then click the […] button.
Double-click .local and select the OMI device name from the list. The IP Address and
Destination Description fields will automatically populate.

OMNEO Configuration

18. Click the Destination Channel field down arrow and select the correct destination channel on
the OMI card you used. Each ends need to be configured the same e.g. if you configured the
OMI card channel 1 to communicate with the OKI keypanel on channel 1, you must configure
the OKI keypanel channel 1 to talk to the OMI card channel 1. The Destination Channel
Description will automatically populate if you have enter names into the Channel Description
fields on your destination device.
19. Click the Send All Changes button to send all of the changes made to your OKI card.

20. Once both ends of the connection have been configured and established you should find the
appropriate channel status changes to green to indicate a positive connection. A blank
channel status indicates no configuration and a red channel status indicates a configured but
not connected channel. Under Connection Status it will also show as Connected and the
duration will be incrementing.

CLD Keypanels – OMNEO Menu Items
21. Go to your OKI keypanel and select Menu\OMNEO Offers\Keypanel\OKI-2. Using your up
and down arrow keys on the keypad you should be able to select the port in the intercom your
configured OMI cards channel corresponds to. Press the PGM or SEL key on the keypad to
accept this selection. Your keypanel should populate with alphas.

Enabling/Disabling OMNEO connection in keypanels
It is possible to enable or disable the OMNEO connection in a keypanel depending on whether
you wish to connect via an analogue matrix connection or via an OMNEO IP connection. This
is done via the OMNEO Offers\Keypanel\AIO menu. If it is set to disabled then the keypanel
will be expecting an OMNEO IP connection. If this is set to enabled the keypanel will be
expecting an analogue matrix connection. There are also OMNEO icons visible on the front of
the panel in normal operation (not displaying the menu items).
