1 Introduction

The NEO-10 device is a network based Input Output device. Within its enclosure are 10 DPDT relays with all 6 contacts of the relays brought out to ports (Normally Open, Normally Close, Common for each half of relay). There are also 10 diode blocked inputs which can be used to monitor external events. The NEO sends out multicast packet bursts anytime a relay or input changes allowing for all users of the device to see status updates in real time. Actual control of the NEO is accomplished by a TCP/IP socket connection from the controlling console. Version 2.52 of C-Soft supports control and monitoring functions to support multiple NEO devices on the network. Later releases of software for the desktop VoIP capable consoles will support NEO as well.

In addition to the I/O functions of the device, NEO supports 10 channels of echo packet functionality. Echo Packet is a method of copying voice/data content on the network from and to multicast addresses. This features allows the Vega multicast scheme to operate on a network without having multicast enabled. Until the release of NEO, only the Vega C-Soft product has this capability which relied on the stability of the Windows operating system. With the release of NEO this capability is now embedded in dedicated hardware and software in a more robust package.
