Built-in remote function, manage multiple bells across multiple locations with the easy-to-use BellScheduler program
All of the Netbell products are built on TCP/IP platform with a built-in server. With Linortek’s remote scheduling function built into the Netbell products, we have now made it super easy to expand your timed alert system cross different locations. Whether you have a large warehouse, separate areas that need multiple bells, or multiple buildings even they are in different locations, we have the solutions! For locations where running additional wiring is not an option, but network is available, you can build a networked bell system. Wire the bells or buzzers to the Netbell, connect the Netbell to your network, download our Discover program to find the IP addresses from your network, download our special designed BellScheduler program, you now can setup a system over a network or Internet without the need of hard-wiring the bells to a central control station.
Networked Bell System BellSchedulerr
Master – Slave Networked Bell System
The Netbell software includes a remote function that can deliver a signal from a master bell controller to remote bells or horns in multiple locations as long as all the units are on the same network. This means you only need to schedule your master bell controller, then all your remote bells will ring at the same time after you setup the remote function. The feature is useful for schools or factories that have a need for audible signals in separate areas or multiple buildings where running additional wiring is too expensive or not practical.
There are several ways to build a networked bell system:
- The simplest way is to install a Netbell at each of your locations, create your schedules in one of the Netbell controllers, then download your schedule to a .txt file and upload it to the other Netbells, this way all your bells will ring at the same time, no remote configuration required. This solution also gives you the option to set different schedules if needed at multiple locations.
- The other option is to use an existing network to build a bell system. In this application, you will use a Netbell as your master controller for scheduling, and our Fargo or Koda controller as the slave controller. Link the slave controller with the master controller via their IP addresses. A typical use case for this Master-Slave feature is to build an emergency alarm system using the Netbell multifunction PA system and the Koda 100 controller. Click HERE to find out how!
