3.Configure the intercoms and set up the intercom list for each console PC. Each console could be set up to monitor a different group of intercoms, but most likely the lists will overlap.
In this example, an installation in one building of a college campus, each room (classroom, lab, or office) contains an intercom. Configure one button on each intercom to contact the computer help desk, and another button on each intercom to contact the campus security department. However, only the intercoms located in physical sciences classrooms and laboratories have a third button configured to contact the PC console in the lab stockroom. Only the intercoms installed in offices have a button configured to call the registration department’s console.
4.Once the system is configured, each intercom user presses and holds a button to initiate talk mode. The button glows bright amber, and the Monitor LED lights.
5.The user speaks into the intercom. Audio plays through the speakers or headset at the console the pressed button was configured to call.
6.The intercom user releases the button when done speaking.
7.The console operator clicks the Talk button (in the software) or presses the PC’s space bar to reply.
Panel-to-panel mode
You do not need to include a console PC as a permanent part of an IP Intercom System. Here is an example in which panels are configured to “talk” to each other. The software does not need to be running during intercom system operation.
NPanel to panel mode will only work when both panels are in the same network subnet.
1.Connect two IPI 101 AAPs and their MLC 226 IPs to a network using
2.Using a PC connected to the same network (as shown in the following figure), configure the two IPI systems. Read chapter 4 for instructions on how to use the software for configuration.
3.Close the configuration program. The PC can be disconnected from the network or used for other functions.
4.Push the button on one IPI to contact the other IPI. On the calling IPI, the microphone is enabled, the Mic On LED lights, and the button’s light changes from low amber to bright/high amber. On the IPI being called, the button’s light changes from low amber to bright/high amber.
