Features
The 5404CS/5401CS digital microphone station provides immediate
high-quality digitization of full bandwidth audio, and transmission over a
standard Ethernet connection. The microphone stations utilize the IED
501HH teardrop handheld microphone that includes a programmable
push-to-talk switch. The station uses a metal magnet landing area for the
501HH to provide a storage position for the microphone.
In the standard configuration, the microphone stations can be mounted
using a standard 2-gang electrical box or a 1-gang electrical box using the
included plastic backbox. An optional weighted based (IEDA530DTB) is
available for desktop mounting configurations.
The microphone stations have indicators for power, busy and ready states,
as well as a beeper to alert the operator during certain states of the
microphone station.
Buttons
The 5404CS digital microphone station features four selection buttons.
These buttons are configured using the IED 5400 Designer software to
function as one-touch action buttons to trigger any of the following types
of announcements or messages:
• A live page to a designated zone group
• A recorded (delayed) page to a designated zone group
• A permanent message playback to a designated zone group
(e.g., customer reminder or emergency message)
General Description
The IED 5404CS digital microphone station is a 4-button device for
initiating audio / visual announcements, messages and pages with the
5400ACS Announcement Control Systems. The 5401CS is a push-to-talk
switch only digital microphone station. It is a network appliance with a
unique IP address that requires no configuration.
Just like IED’s other digital microphone stations, the 5404CS/5401CS uses
a single Ethernet interface for audio and control data. The 5404CS/5401CS
is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet
(PoE), allowing the microphone station to be powered directly from any
standard off-the-shelf PoE switch.
These microphone stations, like all IED LAN-based GLOBALCOM®
and 5400ACS components, are designed to maximize the benefits of
a standard 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN-based network, using off-the-shelf
switches and structured CAT5e or better cabling. The 5404CS/5401CS
utilize Dante® technology for transporting high-quality, low-latency digital
audio over Ethernet.
The 5404CS or 5401CS microphone stations may be used as part of an
EN 54-16 listed life safety system; although the mic stations themselves
are not EN 54-16 listed and cannot be used for the emergency locations.
Instead, in a dual-use system, these microphone stations may be used for
everyday paging functions.

The 5404CS/5401CD digital microphone station utilizes Dante® technology
licensed from Audinate Pty Ltd. Live audio on the data network is time
sensitive and requires minimal latency through the network to ensure
uninterrupted audio. The 5404CS/5401CS digital microphone station and
Dante operate on Layer 3 (IP Layer) of the OSI Model, but only within
a Local Area Network (LAN) or Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). This
audio traffic will not operate across a Layer 3 Router or above. The
network should support Quality of Service (QoS) and Prioritization for
best audio performance. All connections to the 5404CS / 5401CS digital
microphone station must be full duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet.
