About the IP Intercom Modules
The Extron MediaLink IPI 104 AAP and IPI 204 (four-button modules) and the IPI 101 AAP and IPI 201 (one-button modules) are for use with Extron’s two-way IP Intercom System.
The IP Intercom System helps with room-to-help desk or room-to-room communications within a building, a group of buildings, or even greater distances as long as the intercoms are part of the same network. It provides enhanced support using a standard local area or wide area IP network.
For an IP Intercom System, each room requires an IPI 201 or IPI 204 intercom, or an MLC 226 IP MediaLink Controller connected to an IPI 104 AAP or IPI 101 AAP.
NThe IPI 201 and IPI 204 are stand-alone units that do not require a connection to a MediaLink controller.
Connections between the IPI 101 AAP and IPI 104 AAP intercoms with MLC 226 IP and the network are via existing standard network twisted pair cables.
NThe MLC 226 IP to which the IPI 100 Series intercoms are connected must have been shipped after November 16, 2005 and also have firmware version 1.05 or later to support the IPI. Examine the rear panel of the MLC 226 IP. If there is a second RJ-45 connector, labelled “Intercom” and an audio output (see page 2-2), it is capable of supporting an IP Intercom station.
To set up the IPI you must use the IP Intercom HelpDesk.software. The Windows®- based MediaLink IP Intercom HelpDesk software is installed on a central office or help desk PC to set up, manage, and monitor IP Intercom System operations. The software also provides the ability for:
•faster call response by any available help desk in the system
•enhanced staff use by consolidation of monitoring operations
•secure administrator configuration and operator log-in
•making announcements to all intercoms simultaneously
The paging feature allows the help desk operator to page a single room or group of rooms simultaneously.
A line level output is available on the back of each MediaLink Controller and stand- alone IPI model to mix into a local sound system in each room.

Security features
The IP Intercom permits real-time audio monitoring by the help desk of any room where an IPI is installed. Using the IP Intercom HelpDesk software, intercom calls and pages can be logged and date/time-stamped on the help desk computer. Event logs can be accessed and archived for record keeping and tracking purposes.
NIn some states it is illegal to listen in on rooms. To satisfy legal and privacy requirements, the intercom can play a recurring tone during room monitoring. This tone can be turned on or off in the HelpDesk Preferences.
The status monitoring capablities of the MLC 226 IP and the audio monitoring capabilities of the intercom can be combined to monitor the status of equipment for each room. GlobalViewer software can be configured to automatically notify a help desk operator or security personnel via e-mail. Help desk operators or other authorized personnel can then use the IP Intercom’s audio monitoring capability to listen to the activity in this room, helping them determine if security personnel should be dispatched to investigate.
Features
•Two-way, half-duplex voice communications over an IP network
•Compatibility with IP Intercom-enabled MLC 226 IP MediaLink Controllers (IPI 101 AAP and IPI 104 AAP)
•Backlit, configurable Push To Talk buttons
•Integrated speaker and microphone
•Three-position switch to adjust speaker volume levels (IPI 101 AAP and IPI 104
AAP only)
•LED indicator to show when the room is being monitored
•Four space Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP) and 2-gang opening (IPI 200 series only) mounting
•Connection via existing network cable drops (one drop per MLC-IPI pair, IPI 101 AAPs and IPI 104 AAPs, only)

1.Connect one or more PCs to the network and install the IP Intercom HelpDesk
Software on each PC. If call forwarding is used, Extron recommends that no more than six PCs should be set up for call forwarding.
See chapter 5 for instructions on how to install and use the software.
2.Connect up to a maximum of 250 intercoms (per help desk PC) to a network using straight-through cable. Extron recommends that large systems should be segmented, so that no more than 60 intercoms are associated with a single help desk.
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 the example shown above, 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. For IPI 104 or IPI 204 models, configure a second 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.
2-6 IPI 100 and IPI 200 Series • Installation
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.
Connect for configuration. This connection is not needed for later operation.

2.Using a PC connected to the same network (as shown in the figure above), configure the two IPI systems. Read chapter 5 for instructions on how to use the HelpDesk 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.
