Sample Applications

There are several ways to make use of an IP Intercom System. To see what you can do with the IPIs, look at the sample scenarios provided in this section.

Single PC-to-panel mode

For a simple intercom system, connect one or more panels to a PC that serves as the help desk console.

1.Connect one or more IPI 201, IPI 204 units, or MLC 226 IP(s) with one or more IPI 101 AAP and/or IPI 104 AAP units to a network using straight-through cable.

2.Using a PC in the same network, configure the IPI systems, assigning the PC’s IP address to one button on each IPI (see chapter 4 ). The button light changes from red tolow amber to indicate it is configured and connected to the PC.
