Push to Talk button(s) — The IPI 101 AAP and IPI 201 units

 

include one of these buttons, and the IPI 104 AAP and IPI 204

 

units have four.

 

N The MLC and IPI intercoms must be configured (via

 

software) to associate each button with the IP address of

 

a specific console PC or intercoms. Once configured, the

 

IPI 101 AAP and IPI 201 can communicate to one location

 

(one IP address). The IPI 104 AAP and IPI 204 can

 

communicate with up to four different locations.

F

Config Port (IPI 200 Series only) — This 2.5 mm port is used to

 

configure the IPI 201 and IPI 204 and to upload firmware when

 

necessary.

Button Operation

Push to talk operation

Press a Push to Talk button to call the help desk or another console. That enables the microphone, causes the Mic On LED to light, and enables communication to the location associated with that button. When pressed, the button lights bright amber.

If the console PC being called is busy, the IPI plays a WAV file to tell the caller that the line is busy. A “call received” message appears at the help desk console PC to indicate that the intercom is calling.

If the console PC being called is not connected to the network, the IPI plays a WAV file stored on its local MLC to notify the intercom user that the connection is not available. Also, the button lights red instead of amber.

Once a call is successfully connected, press and hold the button when you speak, and release it to allow the other party to speak.

NYou must press and hold an IPI’s button to speak and to call the help desk or another intercom. When you release the button, the intercom’s microphone turns off.
