Progress Report Week 6

Work in Progress - Integration of Mircom TX3 to OpenGN part 2
2019/02/15

Description:
Last week work was a bench test of one TX3 panel. This week goal is to integrate all TX3 panel we have. There are three TX3 panel that we had to connect. Also planning to have a one working router (switch) for all as a central network.

The TX3's are connected to one another through RS-485. RS-485 interfaces provide robust and reliable communication. This allows panels to convey data and receive it. In TX3 software tool, all panel can be found and create configuration within one job. This job will be exported and imported to OpenGN.

We tried to create one master node panel and the two panels as slave to see if this work as one working config. We tested it by tapping the access module if the signal will go and show to the openGN. The master node shows a signal but the other two didn't. We found out that in OpenGN Gateway, each panel has to have a corresponding IP to be able for the openGN to receive a signal from the panels. So we run an Ethernet wire from one of the slave panel to a the switch(router) we're using. That works. So all panels will get there corresponding IP in one switch in order to communicate. 

Concern:
The room C527 have a separate main routers, one in east side desks and  one in west side desks. One panel is at one side and two in the other.  Due to the room's central network designation, we're using a long ethernet cable for this.
