TM-10K is the next generation in RTS Trunk Masters. The RTS trunking system manages communications between separate intercom systems using intercom ports reserved and connected between intercom systems. Keypanels or other data devices can communicate with various destinations in other intercom systems via reserved intercom ports. (This is different from bus expansion, in which the bus system of two (2) or more frames are interconnected to form one (1) system with decentralized hardware) . The RTS trunking system consists of TM-10K which supports trunking data through Ethernet. In addition, the TM-10K supports legacy RS-485 data, which utilizes up to four (4) 8-port ACCES I/O RS-485 PCIe serial cards, in conjunction with ICP-2000 Interconnect Panels, depending on the number of intercom systems to be connected serially. A backup TM-10K may also be added to prevent downtime in the event of failure of the main master control unit. The TM-10K replaces the TM-2000 Trunk Master and MTM-2000 Mini-Trunk Master.
