98
How iVESDA Connects
 Connectivity between VESDA-E and iVESDA
can be established within the protected facility
using a standard WiFi network, or remotely via
the Internet
 Typical topology is where iVESDA, on a
handheld device, communicates with the entire
VESDAnet via a wireless router, and VESDA-E
acts as a gateway into the VESDAnet allowing
for backwards compatibility
 Before starting iVESDA the following must be
prepared and already in place
− The target detector must be configured to
communicate with a nearby access point
− The handheld device that will run iVESDA
must also communicate with the same
access point
− The target detector IP address must be
recorded for later use
− The target detector password must be
known
99
How iVESDA is Used
• With iVESDA the interaction and response to
the VESDA detection system is taken to a
completely new level of ease and portability
• Facility Managers now have a convenient
means of monitoring their entire VESDA
population for status, alarm, fault and
configuration information with a handheld
device, without the need for a PC and High
Level Interface, no matter where they are
located
• First Responders can receive live status
information to direct immediate response to
imminent threats and can monitor any spread of
the threat across the VESDA network
• Field Service Engineers can obtain system
diagnostic and maintenance information before
and during a site visit without the need for a
local hard wired connection, simplifying and
speeding up site visits
