1 Introduction
TFortis integration units are designed to connect TFortis PSW
switches to security systems. Integration units have discrete inputs and relay
outputs, RS-485 and Ethernet ports.
Teleport integration units perform the following functions:
Broadcasting RS-485 over Ethernet
RS-485 to Ethernet conversion
Broadcast dry contacts over Ethernet
Transmitting of alarm events from PSW switches
Remote control of automation
1.1 Application options
1. Broadcasting RS-485 over Ethernet
1.1 Integration of video surveillance and perimeter security
systems
Two devices: Teleport-1 and Teleport-2 allow you to organize “Virtual channel” RS-485
over Ethernet. At the same time, the ready-made transport infrastructure is used and there
are no restrictions on the length of the RS-485 line. Thus, in the presence of an existing
video surveillance system, you can very easily deploy perimeter security system. The
Teleport-2 unit, in addition to the RS-485 port, allows you to supply power to the
detectors, while at the same time it is powered by the same cable that connects to the
switch (PoE) .
Fig 1.1 Application for perimeter security systems
1.2 Remote control of devices with RS-485 interface
Similar to the application with perimeter security systems, you can use the RS-485
broadcast over Ethernet to control actuators, for example, a servo drive for some PTZ
cameras that are located at a considerable distance from the server.

Fig. 1.2 Application for control of devices with RS-485 interface
1.3 Electricity monitoring
For remote reading of indications of energy consumption at the facility, you can use
meters with RS-485 interface.
Fig. 1.3 Application in the monitoring of electricity meters
1.4 Converting RS-485 to Ethernet
There is another option to connect detectors working via RS-485 to the server. In the
Teleport integration units, an Ethernet frame is formed that contains data from the RS-
485 port. Reverse decompression can be performed on another integration unit, or in
upper layer application. (as shown in Fig. 1.4)
Fig. 1.4 Converting RS-485 to Ethernet

Teleport Integration Unit. Configuration Manual

In addition, the TFortis Administrator program is developed, which runs on a server and
translates data into a virtual COM port. The connection of the program for detectors
monitoring is made to this port.
Fig. 1.5 Converting RS-485 to Ethernet
2. Broadcasting of Dry contacts
2.1Control of unauthorized access to cabinets
TFortis PSW switches have discrete inputs to which you can connect any sensors
such as "dry contact", for example, reed switches, limit switches, to organize
control of opening the cabinets. The signal of opening is transmitted by the switch
to the integration unit. Thus, when the input is triggered on the switch, the
corresponding output on the Integration Unit is triggered.
Fig. 1.6 Cabinets opening control

Figure 1.7 Transmission of alarm signals from TFortis PSW switches to Orion integrated security system
2.2 Remote control automation
Broadcasting the input of one device to the output of another can also be used for remote
control of actuators.
However, it should be kept in mind that the built-in output relays are low-power. To switch a
powerful load, you need to use additional switching devices (contactors).

3. Transmission of alarm events from PSW switches
TFortis switches form a series of events that can be transmitted to Teleport integration units:
• Camera hanging
• Loss of power 230VAC
• Disconnection of fiber optics, etc.
On the server side these events are converted into logical states of the outputs of the Teleport
unit, which can be connected to the security controller.

5 Management
5.1 Management Interfaces
TFortis Teleport integration units have the following options of remote
management: Web interface, Telnet, SNMP.
Web interface contains a full set of managed parameters with a detailed
explanation and a short summary. The interface is available in Russian and in English.
You may connect to it via a standard web browser.
Telnet is an alternative way of device configuring using a console application,
such as Microsoft Telnet, PuTTY, Hyper Terminal, etc.
Management by means of SNMP is currently implemented in the test version
and not all commands are supported in full. SNMP is recommended for monitoring
rather that management of the switch.
5.2 What you need to know before connection
Attention!
The device outputs are not designed to switch to powerful load.
Maximum port load is 100mA 250V.
Teleport-2 integration unit includes 24 VDC output to provide power
supply for peripheral devices. Maximum power of the output is 5W.

5.3 Management via web interface
5.3.1 First connection, quick start
When switched on for the first time, the integration unit has the following default
settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Login/Password not specified
DHCP client off
Telnet on
SNMP off
Before connecting, make sure that the network card of the computer is on the
same subnet as Teleport integration unit (192.168.0. *).
Start the web browser and enter the IP address 192.168.0.1 in the address bar
(Figure 5.3.1.1)
Figure 5.3.1.1. Connection to the integration unit
After connection, main web interface page should display (Figure 5.3.1.2).

Teleport Integration Unit. Configuration Manual
17
Figure 5.3.1.2. Web interface
The web interface can be divided into 4 frames shown in Figure 5.3.1.2:
11 –side menu that provides access to various groups of settings
22 –the main frame containing the group of settings
3 –help for these settings
4 –header with input and output state (automatically updated every 10 seconds)
Note: by default, access to web interface is available without login and password. It
is recommended to restrict access in the future by setting login and password. In this
case each subsequent connection will be accompanied by a standard authentication
dialog box.
After connecting to web interface, proceed with configuration. To start the
configuration, you should have a deep knowledge of the network map including
location and functions of all units.
Consider the structure displayed in Figure 5.3.1.3.

Teleport Integration Unit. Configuration Manual
18
Figure 5.3.1.3. Structure of the system
This example shows the perimeter surveillance system that is remote from the
data collection and processing server (DCPS). The perimeter surveillance controller
checks sensitive cable elements and warns of the system response via the standard
two-wire interface RS-485. Around the perimeter, there are also surveillance
cameras connected to TFortis PSW switch. This bundle of equipment makes up the
Security node. To use this system, connect the Server and the Security node
However, the Security node may be located too far away from the Server. The only
solution may be the use of fiber optic lines for the Ethernet network. In this case you
can implement a virtual channel –pipe –via Ethernet for RS-485.
Teleport-2 converts RS-485 to Ethernet. Data goes through the nodal switch
TFortis PSW, then by fiber optics through the core switch, then to Teleport-1
integration unit, where the reverse conversion Ethernet → RS-485 is performed.
To create a virtual RS-485 channel between two Teleport-1 and
Teleport-2 units, they must be configured.
In general, the configuration process looks like this:
1. Configure the network settings
2. Register a remote device (For Teleport-1 it is Teleport-2 and vice versa)
3. Setting the RS-485 port to paired mode with a remote device.

Network settings
In the network settings of the integration unit, you should specify a unique IP
address within the subnet. Let's say, the IP of Teleport-1 is 192.168.0.1, and the IP of
Teleport-2 is 192.168.0.2. Change these fields as shown in Figure 5.3.1.4. To do that,
select Basic Settings → Network Settings in the side menu
Figure 5.3.1.4. Network settings of Teleport-1
List of remote devices
To make Teleport-1 visible to Teleport-2, and Teleport-2 visible to Teleport-1,
you should introduce them to each other. To do that, each unit has a list of remote
devices. It stores all the devices that a local device can interact with.
Let's take Teleport-1 as an example. For it, the remote device is Teleport-2.
Therefore, go to Teleport-1 web interface, tab Teleport Settings → Remote
Devices. As we see, the list is empty yet. Add Teleport-2 to the list indicating its IP
address, type (Teleport-2) and a user-defined description to ease the identification.
Press Apply.
Figure 5.3.1.5 Configuration of remote devices of Teleport-1
As we see in Figure 5.3.1.6, Teleport-2 has been added to the list.
