Alertex IP Bridges in Education

Luminite are delighted to announce that, following feedback from larger school estates, Alertex IP Bridges can now be linked, meaning any number of devices can be installed on a site.

The IP bridge connects Alertex devices to a local network enabling a school to remotely monitor lockdown devices.  The bridge reports which unit has been triggered, allows for remote tests of the system both site wide or individual tests and reports low battery and signal strength status.  It also facilitates text and email notifications to key personnel.

Recent development of the IP bridge software means that Bridges can now be linked.  This has a number of advantages – it allows for larger schools to have an unlimited number of lockdown devices on a site.  It also means that bridges can be linked without location restrictions.  Within a Trust, for example, one site can see activations or check on the health of the system across all the school locations within the group, as long as they are on the same network.

The system consists of a master IP bridge device (Main Zone) and multiple slave devices (each representing a separate Zone). The Master bridge serves as the primary control unit whilst the slave bridge relays information and activates or deactivates as instructed.  Each bridge and the units assigned to that bridge work on a selected frequency to prevent interference and ensure reliable communication.  Frequency changes are made using the BLE terminal app.  Each slave has a unique Device ID and static local IP and is linked via the master IP bridge’s web interface, where it can be assigned a zone name. The master operates independently if no slaves are connected, covering a single UHF zone. Adding slaves expands the system, with all devices communicating over the local network. Users monitor all Alertex devices from the master interface.
