About the IP Intercom Modules

The Extron MediaLink IPI 104 AAP and IPI 204 are four-button IP intercom modules and the IPI 101 AAP and IPI 201 are one-button IP intercom modules for use with Extron’s two-way IP Intercom System. The IP Intercom System facilitates room-to­help 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.

IPI 100 Series, IPI 200 Series • Introduction

MediaLink IP Intercom HelpDesk software is installed on a central ofce or help desk PC to congure and manage IP Intercom System operations.
Connections between the IPI 101 AAP and IPI 104 AAP intercoms with MLC 226 IP and the network are via existing network drops using standard CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cables.
The Windows®-based MediaLink IP Intercom HelpDesk software makes it easy to set up, manage, and monitor the IP Intercom System. The software also provides the ability for
• faster call response by any available help desk in the system
• enhanced staff utilization by consolidation of monitoring
• secure administrator conguration and operator log-in
• making announcements to all intercoms simultaneously With the paging feature, the help desk operator can page a
single room or group of rooms simultaneously. A line level output is available on the back on each MediaLink controller and stand-alone IPI model to mix into a local sound system in each room.
The IP Intercom enables real-time audio monitoring by the help desk for any room where an IPI is installed. Using the IP Intercom HelpDesk software, intercom calls and pages can be logged and date- and time-stamped on the help desk computer. Event logs can be accessed and archived for record keeping and tracking purposes.
In addition to the status monitoring capabilities built into the MLC 226 IP, the IP Intercom makes it possible to monitor audio for each room. For example, if a projector is disconnected from the MLC 226 IP serial port, the GlobalViewer software can be congured to automatically notify a help desk operator or security personnel via e-mail. For immediate notication, e-mails can be sent to multiple addresses including cell phones and wireless PDAs. 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.
N
The IPI 201 and IPI 204 are stand-alone units that do not
require a connection to a MediaLink controller.
operations
In 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.

Mounting the IPI 201 or IPI 204 into an AAP Wall Plate or Device Faceplate

The IPI 201 and IPI 204 intercoms must be attached to a device faceplate or AAP wall plate and cabled before the device or wall plate is installed in a wall or furniture. Unlike the IPI 100 Series intercoms, the IPI 200 AAP Series intercoms are secured by attaching a clamp bracket to the back of the intercom after it has been inserted through the front of the AAP plate.
1. Before cables are attached, insert the IPI through the front
of the device’s faceplate or AAP mounting frame. Secure the IPI to the faceplate/wall plate by attaching the provided clamp bracket.
2. Connect cables to the IPI. See “IPI Rear Panel Features and
Cabling” on page 2-6.

(console PC). To function together, the PC must be network-capable with
the proper protocols, and, when using IPI 100 AAP series
intercoms, the MLC 226 IP must be connected to a LAN (local area network). See “Software-and Web Page-based Setup and Control“ in the MLC 226 Series User’s Manual for IP setup instructions. Once the MLC has been congured for network communication, you can install and use the intercom system software.

IPI 201/204 SIS™ Programming and Control
The Extron MediaLink IP Intercom modules can be remotely set up and controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the LAN port, or the front panel Cong port.
N
The IPI can be set up and controlled by using Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands, accessed via RS-232 or Ethernet LAN connection.
IPI RS-232 protocol:
• 38400 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• no ow control
N
LAN port defaults:
gateway’s IP address: 0.0.0.0
subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
DHCP: off
N
Refer to the MLC 226 IP Series User’s Manual for
IPI 101/104 series SIS command and control information.
The configuration port requires 38400 baud
communication. This is a higher speed than many other Extron products use. If using HyperTerminal or a similar application, make sure the PC or control system connected to these ports is set for 38400 baud.
IP address: 192.168.254.254
The IP Intercom (IPI) must be configured before use.
Host-to-IPI Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per eld. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the IPI determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the IPI to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

IPI-initiated Messages

If you are communicating with the IPI via RS-232 or via a verbose Telnet connection when a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the IPI responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. The IPI-initiated messages are listed here (underlined).

The IPI sends the boot and copyright messages under the following circumstances:
• If the IPI is off and an RS-232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to the IPI 204 series and a serial terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal is open), the connected unit sends these messages via RS-232 when it is rst powered on.
• If the IPI is on, it sends the boot and copyright messages when you rst open a Telnet connection to the IPI. You can see the day of the week, date, and time if the IPI is connected via Telnet, but not via RS-232. If you are using a Telnet connection, the copyright message, date, and time are followed by a password prompt.
Additional messages may be sent by the IPI in response to front panel selections and volume adjustments and when scripts are executed during scheduled events.

Password information

The “]Password:” prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level) followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered.
If the correct password is entered, the unit responds with “]Login Administrator ]” or “]Login User]”, depending on the password entered. If passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the unit will default to administrator privileges.

Error responses

When the IPI receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the IPI is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host.
The error response codes and their descriptions are as follows: E12 – Invalid port number
E13 – Invalid value (the number is out of range/too large) E14 – Not valid for this conguration

Commands and Reponses

Using the command/response tables

The IPI 201/204 Series intercom can be controlled via either a Telnet (port 23) or RS-232 connection using ASCII commands. Or it can be controlled via a Web browser (port 80) connection
ASCII to Hex conversion table

IPI 100 Series, IPI 200 Series • Programming and Control
using URL-encoded commands. The ASCII and URL commands listed in the tables starting on page 5-8 perform the same functions, but they are encoded differently to accommodate the requirements of each port (Telnet or browser).
The ASCII to hexadecimal (HEX) conversion table shown above is for use with the command/response tables.
The command/response tables list valid ASCII (for Telnet or RS-232) command codes, the corresponding URL (uniform resource locator) encoded (for Web browsers) command codes, the IPI’s responses to the host, and a description of the command’s function or the results of executing the command.
• Upper and lower case characters may be used interchangeably in the command eld unless otherwise specied.
• Commands may be sent back-to-back without spaces (for example, 2!65V1Z).
• Numbers can be entered with leading zeroes, as 1, 2, or 3 digits, e.g., 8V = 08V = 008V.
• There are a few differences in how to enter the commands depending on whether you are using Telnet or a Web browser.
When using these commands through a Web browser, the URL reference is used to shorten the examples. “URL” refers to the full URL of the intercom and Web page reference including all path information (e.g., http://192.168.100.10/myform.htm).
To send any of the commands using a Web browser you must prex them with the full URL followed by ?cmd=.
For control via a Web browser, all non-alphanumeric characters must be represented as the hexadecimal
equivalent, %xx, where xx represents the two-character hex byte. A comma (,), for example, would be represented as %2C. Characters such as %, +, and the space character ( ) must be encoded as hex bytes, or they will be misinterpreted by the IPI For example, the ASCII command +V must be encoded as %2BV for Web browser use.
Some characters differ depending on the method you use to send the commands: Telnet Web browser Escape (hex 1B) W [must not be hex encoded] Carriage return (hex 0D) Pipe character (|) [must not be hex encoded]
N
IPI 100 Series, IPI 200 Series • Programming and Control
With Telnet you can use either an “Escape” (E)
command or a “W” command, and the carriage return or

Verbose mode is a communication mode in which the device responds with more information than it usually would—more than the device,
N
creates more network traffic than usual, which can slow down network performance.
Verbose mode is usually enabled for troubleshooting and disabled for daily use.
• For a direct RS-232 connection, the controller is set for verbose mode by default.
• When the IPI is connected via Ethernet, verbose mode is disabled (by default) in order to reduce the amount of communication trafc on
the network. If you want to use the verbose mode with a controller connected via Ethernet, this mode must be set to “on” each time you
reconnect to the controller.
