Accessories

Physical interfaces


The ipTNA4i features a lot of (physical) interfaces out of the box to interact with all kinds of systems.

Data interfaces


To allow third-party devices to send data, the TNA features many interfaces to interact with.


For example, MQTT allows a broad variety of devices, such as PLCs or IoT devices, to send data. Making the TNA the ultimate gateway to connect many different systems to evalink.

Expandability


Because nobody can predict the future of technology, the TNA was built to be modular. Thanks to the USB ports, the functionality can be enhanced easily, for example, to add support for an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 interface. The pin header allows for a close integration of modules, for example, our PSTN to IP module or the I/O Module-

4G Mobile


4G Mobile can be used as a backup path to the Ethernet connection towards evalink. The connection is monitored 24/7 just like Ethernet with no additional costs.

I/O Module


If you require more than 10 inputs and/or 4 outputs you can double them by using the I/O Module.

PSTN to IP


Older alarm panels may utilize the analog phone line to transmit alarms. With the Dial Convert Module these alarms can be received by the TNA.

Wi-Fi Client Mode


Running an Ethernet cable may be expensive or simply not possible. With the Wi-Fi Client Mode Adapter the TNA can connect to the local Wi-Fi and use it as a path towards evalink.

Wi-Fi Access Point Mode


To further simplify the commissioning in difficult situations on site (i.e. no Ethernet available, no Mobile reception, ...) the Wi-Fi Access Point Adapter allows the TNA to become a Wi-Fi Access Point. This way you can access it from your Notebook or Smartphone via Wi-Fi to set it up.

Serial


Many alarm panels and other devices feature a serial interface on which they output (additional) data. This means you can receive serial data from any device on evalink via the TNA.

Antenna


We offer a variety of 4G antennas depending on your requirements.
