Glossary (continued)
Internet Protocol (IP) address: The address of a computer that is attached to a
network. Part of the address designates which network the computer is on, and
the other part represents the host identification.
LAN: A Local Area Network (LAN) is a high-speed, low-error data network
covering a relatively small geographic area.
Load Center: Metal enclosure with power relays, transformer, and circuit
breakers. The Load Center is installed before to Personality Kit installation. Used
for distributing power for controlling IntelliTouch
®
Control Systems. Also known as
the “sub-panel.”
Low Voltage Compartment: Top compartment of Load Center for all low voltage
wiring.
Low Voltage Raceway: Vertical space in the left side of Power/Load Center for low
voltage cabling.
Megabits-per-second ( Mbps): Transmission speed of 1,000,000 bits per second.
Megahertz (MHz): A unit of frequency equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second.
Wireless Controller: Wireless controller for IntelliCenter™ Control Systems with
all the functionality of the Indoor Control Panel.
Outdoor Control Panel: LCD color touch control panel with flexible hinge is
installed in upper portion of Power/Load Center and connected to the main circuit
board (iS5).
Personality Board: The circuit board mounted on top of the Outdoor Control Panel
motherboard. The Personality board defines the system capabilities.
Personality Kit: Set of parts to define the capability of a system; may include:
Outdoor Control Panel, temperature sensors, actuators, and additional relays.
Power Center: Same as Load Center with the exception of the circuit breaker base.
Relay Circuits: The circuits that control the relays on the Personality Board.
Connectors on top edge of the circuit board.
RF: Radio Frequency.
Screw Terminal Connector: Removable connector that may attach to circuit board
with multiple sockets (anywhere from 2 to 12) to receive wires from controllers and
sensors; wires held by screw terminals; multiple wires of a small enough gauge
(usually 22 AWG) may be coupled to a single socket of a terminal connector.
Transceiver: Circuit board with attached antenna that can send and receive radio
frequency (wireless) transmissions.
Wi-Fi: Wireless Fidelity is meant to be used generically when referring of any type
of 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a. WiFi is a seal of approval
from the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA).
WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network is a type of local-area network that uses
high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate between nodes.
