B573 MBX (TCT Router) Application
A single B573 configured as an "MBX" is used at a hotel that has a pre-existing TCP/IP Ethernet network
installed. An Inncom TCT "room Ethernet gateway" device is installed in each guestroom. The TCT
sends/receives Inncom related room information to and from the B573 MBX router over the “guestroom” (public)
Ethernet network.
Inncom related room information (ie temperature, control messages ,etc) sent/received between the TCT
“Room Gateway” and B573 MBX over the Guestroom Network using Layer-2 (MAC address based)
protocol via UDP Port 23210. TCT’s have NO IP address assigned. Only a unique MAC address
programmed at the factory.
“B573 Media Connector” software running on Inncom Server communicates with B573 MBX via UDP
Port 3008 to send/receive Inncom guestroom data. This link is typically routed through a Firewall
that must be configured to bi-directionally pass UDP Port 3008 traffic. If a firewall is present, it must
be configured to pass UDP Port 3008 data. The “B573 Media Connector” software also makes the
room data available to other software components running on the Inncom Server (ie WinP5PT).
