Introduction
This manual describes the installation, programming, and operating procedures for the RTS Model ARP-32 Audio Routing
Panel. The ARP-32 provides the user with the ability to assign one of up to 16 crosspoints and/or up to 16 different
crosspoints. Through the use of up to three (3) expansion panels, allowing for a total of 64 input keys and 63 output keys, in
addition to the scroll key.
The sum total of ARPs and LCP-102s cannot exceed 15 in a system. The ARP-32 works with ADAM intercom matrix system.
The ARP-32’s key assignments and setup page assignments are stored by the ADAM MCII-e controller, and downloaded to
the panel when it powers up. Changes made at the ARP-32 are automatically saved by the MCII-e. Changes can also be made
using AZedit. ARP firmware ver sion 0.0.1 and later allows configuration of crosspoint connections.

Configuration and Operation
Address Configuration
Address and Dip Switch Configuration is accomplished via the 16-position rotary switch (Address) and the 8-position DIP
switch, both located on the rear of the ARP-32. See Figure 1 on page 4 for the location of both switches.
Setting Address
A16-position rotary switch is used to select the polling ID. Valid IDs are 1-15. (Note, letters A through F on the rotary switch
represent IDs 10 through 15.) There can be at most one ARP-32 or LCP-102 at any given ID. Use a small flat blade screw
driver to rotate the switch to the desired setting.
Panel Options
The 8-position DIP switch is used to set options as follows
POSITION DEFINITION
8 Normally OPEN, when CLOSED forces boot down load mode.
7 Reserved for diagnostics, must be OPEN.
6 Unu sed , shou ld be left OPEN
5 Unu sed , shou ld be left OPEN

Configuration and Operation
Connections
The ARP-32 connects to the UIO-256/PAP port, J3 on an ADAM system. The baud rate, as with all UIO-256, PAP, and LCP102 devices, can be either 9600 baud or 76.8 K baud.
A cable must be made to connect the ARP-32 to the system.
FIGURE 2. ARP-32 D-Sub Cable Diagram
FIGURE 3. ARP-32 RJ12 Cable Diagram
Key Configuration
The ARP-32’s key assignments and setup page assignments are stored by the ADAM MCII-e controller, and downloaded to
the panel when it powers up. Changes made at the ARP-32 are automatically saved by the MCII-e. Changes can also be made
using AZedit.

Operation
Operation
The ARP-32 Audio Routing Panel is used to establish audio paths by forcing crosspoints. The ARP-32 connects to J3 of the
XCP-ADAM-MC breakout panel, along with other PAPs, LCP-102s, and UIO-256 devices.
The ARP-32 hardware consists of 32 keys, physically separated into two groups (see Figure 1, “ARP-32 Reference View,” on
page 4). The keys on the left side of the ARP-32 panel are configured with input ports, whi le the keys on the right side of the
panel are configured with output ports. The optional expansion panel doubles the number of input and outpu t ports.
NOTE: If the intercom is configured to have separate input and output alphas, the input alphas are shown for the keys on
the left side of the panel and the output alphas are shown on the right.
Each button can have an assignment (a port number for an input port, and a port number for an output port). The ARP-32
displays the alphas for these assignments.
By pressing a single key, the user can view the audio paths forced between particular ports, as well as any crosspoint inhibits
that may be configured. By pressing an input key and an output key, you can toggle the force status of a single crosspoint.
The right-most output key on the lower row, the scroll key, is similar to a standard keypanel’s call waiting window. The
keypad can be used to scroll through a list of available ports and assign them to keys. You can also change the setup pages
assigned to the ARP-32 panel from the keypad.
Assign Key Assignments
To assign key assignments on the ARP-32, do the following:
1. Using the scroll up or scroll down keys, scroll to the port you want to assign to a key.
2. Press Copy (keypad number 7).
3. Press the key you want to assign the port.
Clear Key Assignments
To clear key assignments, do the following:
1. Verify the scroll window is clear.
2. Press Copy (keypad number 7).
This copies the blank assignment.
3. Press the key assignment you want to delete.
The blank assignment is assigned to the key.
Viewing Audio Paths
To view audio paths, do the following:
> On the front panel of the ARP-32, press any input key.
The outputs associated which the input is forced or inhibited are displayed.
• If the input is forced to at least one output, the key’s LED turns red. Otherwise, it turns green.
• For each output key, if the input is forced to that output, the output key’s LED turns red. If the input is inhibited
to that output, the output key’s LED flashes green.
• If there is a single output to which that input is forced, and which does not appear on any key assignment, then
the assignment is displayed in the scroll window.
• If there are multiple outputs to which the output is forced, which do not appear on any key assignments, then the
scroll window displays Many. The scroll-up (keypad number 6) and scroll down (keypad number 9) can be used
to scroll through the list of outputs. Once the input key is released, the scroll window is cleared.

Configuration and Operation
NOTE: Similarly, pressing a single output key displays which inputs are forced or inhi bited to that ou tput.
Changing Audio Paths
To change an audio path, do the following:
1. Press and hold an input key .
2. Tap an output key assigned to a different port.
If the crosspoint is not already forced, the crosspoint becomes forced between to the two points.
NOTE: The scroll key can also be used to force and unforce crosspoints. However, it cannot be used to view the audio
paths. When using the scroll key to force/unforce, a crosspoint can be used as an input or an output key.
If a crosspoint (or its reciprocal) is inhibited, attempting to force or unforce the crosspoint has no effect. The ARP-32 cannot
change the crosspoint until the inhibit status is changed via AZedit.
A crosspoint cannot be forced or unforced if either the input or output port is a trunk port. If you try to force a crosspoint on a
trunked port, the port’s LED turns red briefly, and then will turn OFF again.
Scrolling
In normal scroll mode, the scroll up (keypad number 6) and the scroll down (keypad number 9) can be used to display a list of
available ports. The only ports displayed are those for which the LCP-102 is scroll enabled via AZedit.
To normal scroll using the ARP-32, do the following:
1. Using the scroll up (keypad number 6) or scroll down (keypad number 9) key, scroll to the port you want to assign to
a key .
2. Press Copy (keypad number 7).
3. Press the key you want to assign the port.
Prefix Scroll
Prefix scrolling allows you to scroll through the matrix ports in multiples of 100. This allows you to quickly get to higher ports
you want to use.
To prefix scroll using the ARP-32, do the following:
1. Press the Prefix key (keypad number 5).
Prefix Scroll mode is enabled.
2. Using the , scroll to the closest multiple of 100 to the desired port you want (for example, you want port
98, prefix scroll to 100).
3. Press PGM.
The scroll keys revert to individual ports.
4. Using the , scroll to the individual port you want.
Clear the Scroll Window
To clear the scroll window, do the following:
> Tap the scroll key up.
The scroll window clears.
