The Xpyda
module is a small, discreet device designed
to be deployed across TCP/IP networks where
they are needed - in close proximity to
the item(s) they need to protect and to
an available Cat. 5 network port.
The Xpyda
module contains a program (the firmware)
which tells it how it is configured, which
alarm ports are active, and where it is
located on the network.
The firmware
also maintains a permanent two-way dialogue
with software (called the Xpyda Service)
running on the network server. This way,
if an alarm is triggered on one of the Xpyda
module's alarm ports or if the Xpyda module
itself loses power or its connection with
the network, the Xpyda Service immediately
knows this and issues the corresponding
alerts.
The Xpyda
module is flash-upgradeable, meaning that
it can be reprogrammed at any time across
the network, without any requirement for
physical intervention. Xpyda Administrator
controls the flash upgrade process, enabling
administrators to specify whether to flash
upgrade Xpydas individually (e.g. to apply
a sensor configuration change) or en masse
(e.g. to upgrade all Xpydas on the network
at the same time with a new release of firmware).
