8 Converting the Galileo Controller to the G2W
System
Converting the Galileo controller to the G2W system involves installing one or two Radio INT adaptor
cards, and configuring the Galileo controller to enable recognition of radio field units and repeaters. This
is achieved by defining the number of radio units will be added to the system, and assigning adaptor card
slots to them.
cards, and configuring the Galileo controller to enable recognition of radio field units and repeaters. This
is achieved by defining the number of radio units will be added to the system, and assigning adaptor card
slots to them.
Installing Radio INT Adaptor Cards
Note: Each Radio INT adaptor card provides 64 ports in the Galileo controller for radio field
units. Every two field unit output ports require one port on the controller; for example, a
field unit with four output ports requires 2 ports in the controller, etc. If more controller
ports are required for radio field units, you must install additional adaptor cards (each with a
corresponding concentrator) in the Galileo controller.

field unit with four output ports requires 2 ports in the controller, etc. If more controller
ports are required for radio field units, you must install additional adaptor cards (each with a

To install a Radio INT adaptor card:
1. Verify that the controller power supply is disconnected.
2. Insert the Radio INT adaptor card (AC0117) to the corresponding slot in the Galileo controller.
3. Reconnect the controller power supply.
Defining the Number of Units in the System
After installing the Radio INT adaptor card, you must define the number of field units (whether cable
units or radio units) which will be registered in the system.
units or radio units) which will be registered in the system.
Note: It is recommended that you define the exact number of units you plan to currently
use in the system. If you define a larger number, the controller will waste resources scanning
for units which do not exist. If you need to add additional units at a later time, you can
change the defined number of units.
use in the system. If you define a larger number, the controller will waste resources scanning
for units which do not exist. If you need to add additional units at a later time, you can
change the defined number of units.
To define the number of units in the system:
1. Launch the Galileo Client software.
2. Click Setup > Controller setup > Maximum elements definition. The Maximum Active elements
definition window appears.
