Option DIP Switch Settings

Switch 1: Latch Enable/Disable

Default setting = Open: Enable.
Description: An intercom key can always be turned on for momentary conversation by pressing and holding the key during the conversation. There is also an electronic latching feature that lets you tap intercom keys to turn them on or off. This permits convenient hands-free conversation. However it can also result in a talk circuit being left on unintentionally. For example: A key that talks to a public address system could be accidentally left on. Or an IFB key (a type of key assignment that is often used by a director or producer to give instructions to a listener, such as a news anchor during a television broadcast) could accidentally be left on, causing confusion for the IFB listener. To prevent such accidents, the latching feature can be turned off.
Note
DIP switch 1 disables latching for the entire keypanel. If you just need to disable latching for selected keys, leave DIP switch 1 in the "Open" position. Then, disable latching for the desired keys using the "D" check boxes in the Keypanels / Ports setup screen of ADAMedit.

Switch 2: Key Gain Enable / Disable

Default setting = Open: Enable.
Description: Enables or disables the Key Gain item in the Key Assign menu.

Switch 3: Screen Saver Enable / Disable

Default setting = Open: Enable.
With Screen Saver enabled, the KP-32 will shut off the display and enter a low-power state after a few minutes of inactivity. The display reactivates instantaneously on incoming call or when the keypanel operator actuates any control. As with all fluorescent and back-lit LCD displays, some dimming will occur after many years of operation. Using the screen saver helps maximize the display life.

Switch 4: Call Flash Timeout

Default setting = Open: 15 Second Flash.
Description: Whenever there is an incoming call and there is a talk key assigned to the caller, the talk LED next to that key will flash. The flash can be set for 15 second timeout, or until the caller's talk key is released.
Future versions of ADAM Edit and Zeus Edit will be able to override the Call Flash Timeout setting.

Switch 5: Footswitch Enable / Disable*

Default = Open: Disabled.
Description: The optional Connector Module has a footswitch (GRP CALL) input. If the footswitch is enabled (DIP switch 5 set to the "Closed" position), then keys that are latched on will not activate until the footswitch is closed. Latched keys are indicated by winking green talk LEDs (on time less than off time), and when the footswitch is activated, the LEDs provide the normal talk-on indication.
1 If the talk key is held down in Footswitch mode the channel will be activated until the user
releases the key. The use of this function does not require the footswitch to be used.
2 If DIP switch 1 is set to the “Closed” position, nothing will latch.
3 Individual keys can be set to non-latching via ADAM Edit. If this is done, the footswitch has
no effect on the keys that have been set to non-latching. Please see ADAM Edit help for more information.

Switch 6: Network Mode Selection

Default Setting: Open (Mode 1)
Description: In the Mode 1 setting, the keypanel functions operate as called out in the main portion of this manual. If the switch is closed (Mode 2), then the functions operate as outlined in this manual with slight modifications. Any function that is affected by Mode 2 operation will have an asterisk (*) by it. The changes/modifications to the functionality is called out in the section titled “Mode 2 Operation”

Switch 7: Test/Debug

Default Setting: Open.

Address Switch Setting

General Information

In Zeus, ADAM CS, and ADAM Intercom Systems, intercom ports are arranged in groups of eight. All ports in a group share a common data port. Each KP-32 keypanel is uniquely identified on the data port by the setting of its Address switch. The method of determining the proper Address switch setting varies for each intercom system. Use the method for your intercom system as described below. Then set the white pointer on the Address switch to point to the correct setting.
2-2 KP-32 User Manual
Note

Address Setting for Zeus

Intercom port connectors on the Zeus back panel are arranged in three groups of eight intercom ports. For each group, intercom port connectors are labeled ID 1, ID 2, etc. When you connect a KP-32 keypanel to Zeus, set the Address switch to match the corresponding ID number on the Zeus back panel. Note that address switch settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.

Address Setting for ADAM CS

Each Audio I/O card contains 1 group of 8 intercom ports. However, the method of breaking out the groups depends on the type of connectors on the back panel.
ADAM CS with RJ12 or DB-9 back panel:
The intercom port connectors are arranged in groups of 8. The first connector at the left for each group is Address 1, the next is Address 2, and so forth.
Address switch settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.

Then, read across to the "Address" column to find the Address number. Set the KP-32 Address switch to this number. Note: settings 0, and 9 through F are not used.

Connections

EXP. AND LCP Connectors

Connect from the Exp. connector on the back of the KP-32 to the Expansion 1 connector of an optional EKP-32 Expansion Panel. Use the interconnect cable supplied with the Expansion Panel. The Expansion 2 connector on the Expansion Panel can connect to a second Expansion Panel, but no more than 64 intercom keys can be operated per intercom port.
Each LCP-32/16 adjusts the listen levels for 16 keypanel keys, and you can connect as many LCP-32 panels as required to adjust all keys on the KP-32 and on an optional EKP-32 Expansion Panel. An interconnect cable is supplied with each LCP-32. Connect the first LCP-32 to the LCP connector on the KP-32. Connect the second LCP-32 to the first LCP-32, and so forth.
Note
When arranging LCP-32 panels in an equipment rack, you should put them directly above or below the keys they will be used to adjust.

Frame Connector

Use either of the Frame connectors (but not both) to connect to an intercom port of the intercom system. The intercom port you connect to should agree with the address that you set previously. Cable wiring diagrams are shown in Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.3.

Power Supply Connector

Align and insert the external power supply connector. Tighten the locking ring. Connect a power cord to the power supply and to an AC power source. The power supply accepts 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
At power-up, the alphanumeric displays will first show asterisks (****). After several seconds to a minute the intercom key assignments will display.
Note
If the keypanel cannot establish communication with the intercom system, all alphanumeric displays will continue to show asterisks. Check the keypanel to matrix cable connection if this occurs. If the keypanel loses communications with the intercom, it will not revert to ****’s for 30 seconds. Hence, if there is a short disruptionin the data communications, the panel will not show ****’s at all (although the panel my briefly display ----’s).

Headset Connector

A stereo headset may be connected for use along with or in place of the front panel speaker and a separate microphone. Headphones may be connected for use with a separate microphone.

Headset Microphone Gain Adjustment

The gain of the headset microphone preamp can be adjusted via the recessed trim pot located on the back panel. Turn the pot clockwise to increase gain and counter-clockwise to decrease gain. The limits are ±20 dB from nominal.

Dashes
Flashing Alphanumeric Display: This means the key is activated to talk to an IFB, ISO, or TIF.
The flashing alphanumeric display for TIF keys, remote IFB keys, and remote ISO keys can be disabled by placing a check mark next to "Don't generate tallies for TIF and trunk use" in ADAMedit (Options menu, Intercom Configuration, Options tab).
----
: Dashes indicate a key that has no talk or listen assignment.

LED Indications for Intercom Keys

Future versions of ADAM Edit can override LED indications.
Talk LED Indications
The talk LED is the lower LED for each key. The talk LED indications are as follows:
Continuous Green*
Talk is on and the keypanel operator can be heard at the destination.
Continuous Red Talk LED & Flashing Display Alpha ("In-use")*
The key is off, but someone is talking to the destination. This indication is provided for any local PL, IFB, ISO, or TIF key. It does not apply to remote IFB or ISO keys. This indication is provided so keypanels operators know when critical director communications are occurring. If you activate the key, either of two things will happen:
• If you activate the key and the talk LED turns continuous green, this indicates that you and the other keypanel operator are both talking to the destination.
• IFB keys only: If the talk LED flashes red when an IFB key is activated, this indicates that the other keypanel has a higher IFB priority and you cannot talk at this time.
Note
Note
3-2 KP-32 User Manual
The red "in-use" indication for TIF keys can be disabled in ADAMedit: In the ADAMedit Options menu, select Intercom Configuration, then click on the Options tab. Place a check mark next to "Don't generate talliesfor TIF and trunk use". Be sure to send the change to the intercom system. Note that this will also disable the flashing alpha display when talking to remote IFBs or ISOs as previously described.
Flashing Red Talk LED & Flashing Display Alternating Pattern of Alpha & (-**-) ("Busy")
You cannot talk at this time. This indication occurs when you activate a local IFB key that is already in-use by a keypanel with a higher IFB priority. It also occurs when you activate any key assigned to a remote destination, but there are currently no trunks available.
Flashing red is also the intended indication when attempting to talk to a remote IFB while someone else with a higher trunk IFB priority is already talking. However, this will require ADAM MC version later than 9.9.x and Trunk MC version later than 7.x.x. As of this writing, these versions are not implemented. Regardless of the indication provided, you will not be heard
Note
at the remote location if your keypanel has the lower trunk IFB priority. IFB trunk priorities are set in ADAMedit. (Click the "KP" button on the ADAMedit toolbar to access Keypanels / Ports setup, then click the "Edit" button, then click the "Advanced" tab. Enter the desired IFB priority in the fields provided. Be sure to send the change to the intercom system.)
Flashing Green Talk LED & Display Alpha (on time equal to off time)*
There is an incoming call from the destination assigned to the key. Activate the key to talk back.
The duration of incoming call flash is controlled by DIP switch 4 on the KP-32 back panel. See "Option Switch Settings" for further information.
Winking Green Talk LED (on time less than off time)*
This indicates that a key is ready to talk (key is on), but requires external footswitch activation to talk.
Listen LED Indication
The listen LED is the upper LED for each key. The listen LED is green when listen is on.

Intercom Key Operation

Basic Intercom Key Operation
The "up" position of an intercom key activates listen (if assigned). The "down" position activates talk (if assigned). If there is no talk assignment for an intercom key, the talk position of the key will not activate. If there is no listen assignment, the listen position will not activate.
Note
Note
For momentary activation of a key press and hold the key. Then, release it when finished.
For latching operation (if enabled) tap a key; it will turn on and remain on. Tap the key again to turn it off when finished.
Latching may be turned off for the entire keypanel by setting DIP switch 1 on the KP-32 back panel to the Closed position. Latching may be disabled for individual keys on a keypanel using ADAMedit: Click the KP button on the ADAMedit toolbar to open the Keypanels / Ports setup screen. Select the intercom port where the keypanel is connected. Place a check mark in the "D" check boxes for any keys where you want to disable latching. Be sure to send your changes to the intercom system.
Operation of Intercom Keys with Auto Functions
Assignment of keys with auto functions is described in the programming sections that follow. Descriptions of the auto functions are also contained in the Glossary.
Operation of keys with auto functions is as follows:
Talk + auto follow
Talk and listen can be activated separately. The listen assignment listens to whatever is assigned to the talk key.
Talk + auto listen
Both talk and listen will activate when talk is activated.
Talk + auto mute
Listen will turn off when talk is activated.
3-3
Note
Note
Talk + auto reciprocal
Listen will always be on, and talk may be turned on or off.
Talk + auto table
If an IFB talk key has an auto-table listen assignment, talk and listen can be independently activated. The listen key listens to whatever is defined as the IFB Listen Source for the IFB that is assigned to the talk key.
A full explanation of the auto-table feature is beyond the scope of this manual. For further information, search for "IFB" in ADAMedit help, then read the topics "IFB Auto Table Description" and "IFB Setup Procedures".
All Call Key
Activating the key will also activate all keys to the left of it (up to, but not including another all­call key).
Talk + DIM
If a point-to-point key has the DIM function as a level 2 talk assignment, activating the key will cause the crosspoint levels to diminish for any other intercom ports that are currently listening to the same destination and that are in the same DIM table.
A full explanation of DIM tables is beyond the scope of this manual. For further information, search for "dim table" in ADAMedit help.
Note
Note
Operation of Intercom Keys with Options
Group Option Keys
Activating the master key in a key group will activate all keys in that group according to each key's individual key assignment. Activating a slave key will not affect any other keys in the group.
Solo Key
Activating a key that has the solo option will cause all other keys to turn off until the solo key is again turned off.
Operation of Intercom Talk Keys with the Speaker DIM Setting
Activating any talk key will cause the speaker or headphone volume at this keypanel to diminish by the amount specified in the Dim menu item on the Service menu.
Do not confuse this with the Talk+DIM auto function previously described. Talk+DIM affects the speaker or headphones on other keypanels when a particular talk key is activated on this keypanel. Speaker DIM affects the speaker or headphone level on this keypanel when any talk key on this keypanel is activated.
Operation of Intercom Keys assigned to TIF Ports
If an intercom key is assigned to talk to an intercom port that is designated as a TIF port in ADAMedit, placing the key in the talk position will activate the KP-32 dialing menu. See "TELEPHONE OPERATION" for further information.
You designate an intercom port as a TIF port by checking the "Port is TIF" check box in ADAMedit. (In ADAMedit, click the "KP" button on the toolbar to access Keypanels / Ports setup, then select the intercom port where the TIF s connected, then click the "Edit" button, then
3-4 KP-32 User Manual
click the "Advanced" tab. Place a check next to "Port is TIF". Remember to send the change to the intercom system.)

Muting the Microphone

Tap the MUTE key to turn microphone muting on or off.
The Vol. Sel. display alternates between microphone is muted.
Note
While muting is on, you cannot be heard on the intercom, or by anyone on the telephone, or by any device connected to the mic preamp output of the optional connector module.

Call Waiting Operation

Occasionally, a keypanel may call, and there won't be a key assigned to talk back to that caller. In this case, the caller's name will appear in the Call waiting window. Press down and hold the Call waiting key to talk back.
To clear a name from the Call waiting window, tap "up" on the Call waiting key.
If a second call is received in the Call waiting window while a caller name is already displayed, the Call waiting LED will flash red. To answer the second call, tap "up" to clear the first name, then hold the key down to talk to the second caller.
Note
By default, only the names of callers who are not currently assigned to intercom keys will appear in the Call waiting window. Alternatively, you can force all caller names to display in the Call waiting window. This is controlled either by DIP switch 2 on the ADAM Master Controller card or by the ADAMedit check box titled "Always stack callers in call waiting window". (ADAMedit Options menu, Intercom Configuration, Options tab. Note: the setting in ADAMedit overrides the DIP switch 2 setting on the Master Controller card.) If your intercom system has mostly keypanels with alphanumeric displays, we recommend that you do not stack all callers in the Call waiting window.

Receiving A Phone Call

When there is an incoming telephone call, the talk LED will flash red next to the KP-32 key that is assigned to the TIF. Activate the key to answer the call.
Note
The red flash for incoming TIF call is the default operation. Alternatively, a continuous-red talk LED indication can be provided. This is accomplished by checking the check box "Don't generate tallies for TIF or trunk use" in ADAMedit (Options menu, Intercom Configuration, Options tab).

6 Use the KP9X hang-up sequence when finished with the call.

KP9X Autodial Sequences

Unlike the autodial operations using the KP-32 menu system, which store telephone numbers locally within the KP-32, the KP9X autodial operations work with telephone numbers that are stored at the TIF-951. The advantage to saving at the TIF-951 is that many users can access a common set of stored telephone numbers. A disadvantage is that users can easily over-write important telephone numbers. Also, telephone numbers at the TIF-951 are stored in volatile memory and will be lost if the TIF-951 loses power.

Storing an Autodial Number in the TIF-951

1 Tap the PHONE key.
2 Tap the TIF talk key to latch it on.
3 Using the number keys on the keypad, dial the phone number that you want to store. The entire
phone number sequence can have up to 30 digits.
Note
To insert one or more pauses anywhere in the dialing sequence, enter CLR CLR 9 9 for each pause. A pause may be required, for example, if you need to enter a digit to get an outside line and your phone system requires a pause before continuing to dial. If you are using credit card dialing, several pauses may also be required between the phone number and your personal access code.
4 After dialing the telephone number, click CLR PGM, then enter a two-digit number (01, 02,
etc. up to 32) that you will use as the autodial number.
5 After storing the autodial number, hang up using the KP9X hang-up sequence.

KEYPAD PROGRAMMING, DISPLAY REQUESTS

Display requests let you view information about the keypanel configuration. You can display information by two methods: either by entering sequences on the programming keypad, or by scrolling the names of display requests in the Call waiting window and then selecting the desired display request. The scrolling method also gives you access to additional features that are not available with the keypad sequences. The following paragraphs discuss these two methods.

Display Requests Using Keypad Sequences

All display request sequences start with FUNC DISPLAY.

Display Panel ID

FUNC DISPLAY 1 .
This sequence displays the calculated port number. The calculation is based on the data group that the keypanel is connected to, combined with the Address switch setting on the back of the keypanel. Note that if the Address switch is incorrectly set, the wrong Panel ID will display.

Display Setup Page Assignments

FUNC DISPLAY E-PNL
Currently, there are four setup pages available for each keypanel. Each setup page defines a set of 16 talk and listen key assignments. Most RTS keypanels have a maximum of 16 keys, so one setup page is typically assigned to the main keypanel, and is referred to as the "Main" setup page. Additional setup pages are assigned to any connected expansion panels, and are referred to as "Expansion 1", "Expansion 2", etc.). Since the KP-32 requires 2 setup pages, it uses the main page assignments and also one expansion page (Figure 5.1). The EKP-32 uses two additional expansion pages.

FUNC DISPLAY 7
This sequence activates the keypanel's internal tone generator. You can use the tone generator to check the audio send and receive paths to and from the matrix. For example, you can assign a talk key on the keypanel to talk to itself. When you activate the talk key, you should be able to hear the tone from the keypanel speaker or from a headset.
To turn off the tone generator, press the CLR key.
The microphone input is turned off when the tone generator is active.

• To display setup page assignments at any time, see "Display Setup Page Assignments".

KEYPAD PROGRAMMING, ASSIGNING INTERCOM KEYS

General

There are three methods to assign intercom keys with keypad programming. These methods are summarized below and explained on the following pages.
• Key Assignment using Keypad Numeric Entry: Using this method, you enter the panel number, party line number etc. that you wish to assign to a key. This method requires that you know the number (not the name) of the port, party line etc. that you wish to assign. Since most users do not have access to this information, this method of key assignment is not recommended.
• Key Assignment by Copying an Assignment: Using this method, you can copy an assignment from one key to another. You can also use this method to transfer an incoming call to a talk key and/or listen key.
Note
• Key Assignment using Alpha Scrolling: Using this method, you scroll through lists of alpha names in the Call waiting window and select the name of the panel, party line etc. that you want to assign. Then you copy that name to a key. If descriptive names have been assigned (using the intercom system configuration software) alpha scrolling is easiest to use.

Assigning Keys Using Keypad Numeric Entry

Each programming step must be completed within 4-5 seconds. Otherwise, the programming sequence will automatically quit.
General Procedure
1 For talk level 2 assignment only: Tap 0 0 . Otherwise, skip this step.
2 Select the key assignment type:
NUM Intercom port.
PL Party line.
AUTO Auto function.
FUNC SLIST Special list.
FUNC IFB IFB
FUNC ISO Camera ISO
FUNC RELAY Relay or GPI output.
3 Auto function assignment only: Tap an additional number to select the desired auto function:
1 Auto listen (listen keys only)
2 Auto follow (listen keys only)
5-4 KP-32 User Manual
Note
Notes
3 Auto mute (listen keys only)
4 Auto reciprocal (listen keys only)
5 All call (talk level 1 only)
6 DIM (talk level 2 only, for point-to-point key, must enter 00 first)
7 Auto table (listen only, when talk level 1 is an IFB assignment)
4 Trunked intercoms only: (Skip when assigning auto functions or local key assignments.) Select
an intercom matrix (tap 1 , or 2 etc.).
Intercom system numbers are the numbers that appear in the "Icm" column in CStrunk when you select "Names" or "Setup" from the Intercoms menu.
5 (Skip when assigning auto functions.) Tap one or more number keys to select the desired port
number, party line number, etc:
1 If the destination is in the local matrix, just enter the number.
2 If the destination is in a remote matrix, you must always enter exactly 3 digits for a port
number, or exactly 2 digits for anything else. For example, to assign port 1 you must enter
0 0 1 ; for party line 1 you must enter 0 1 .
6 Tap PGM.
7 Tap down on a key to assign talk. Tap up to assign listen.
• If a key will not accept an assignment, the destination that you are trying to assign may not be scrolling enabled in ADAMedit. Or, the key that you are trying to assign may be restricted in ADAMedit.
Note
• Auto functions are always assigned in the local intercom system, even when used with keys assigned to a remote intercom system. For example, you can program a talk key to talk to a remote party line and then program the listen key using auto-listen on the local intercom. Pressing the talk key automatically activates listening for the remote party line.

Programming Key Assignments Using Copy

There are two ways to copy key assignments: 1) you can copy a call from the Call waiting window to a key; or 2) you can copy one key's assignment to another key.

Copying a Call from the Call waiting Window to a Key

1 While the caller's name is displayed in the Call waiting window, tap the COPY CW key.
2 Tap the key where you want to copy to. The name of the caller should appear in the display
above the key.
If a key will not accept an assignment, the destination that you are trying to assign may not have scrolling enabled in ADAMedit. Or, the key that you are trying to assign may be restricted in ADAMedit.

Copying One Key Assignment to Another Key

1 Tap the FUNC key.
2 Tap the EX COPY key.
3 Press the talk or listen key from which you wish to copy.
4 Press the talk or listen key to which you wish to copy. The name of the key assignment should
appear in the display above the key.
5-5
Note
If a key will not accept an assignment, the destination that you are trying to assign may not have scrolling enabled in ADAMedit. Or, the key that you are trying to assign may be restricted in ADAMedit.

Programming Key Assignments Using Alpha Scrolling

Alpha scrolling lets you scroll through a list of names of ports, party lines etc. in the Call waiting window. Once the desired name is displayed in the window, you can copy it to a key. There are four scrolling modes: intercom, type, prefix and single-step. The following example demonstrates their use.
Example: Assign a port to a key using the various scrolling modes.
1 If the port is located in a remote intercom system, tap FUNC  or FUNC ⎠⎠ to enter
intercom scroll mode and scroll up or down the list of intercoms in the Call waiting window. Otherwise, skip to step 2.
2 When the desired intercom system name is displayed, or when making an assignment in the
local intercom system, tap FUNC TYPE to activate type scroll mode.
3 Use the  or ⎠⎠ keys to locate the desired type of communication. In this example, you
would scroll to "P-P".
Abbreviations for types of communication:
• P-P: Point-to-Point
• PL: Party Line
Note
Note
•IFB: IFB
• SPCL: Special List
• RLY: Relay or GPI output.
•ISO: ISO
4 When the desired type of communication is displayed, press PGM to retrieve the requested list.
Pressing PGM also exits type scroll mode and places the keypanel in single-step scroll mode.
In some cases, "WAIT" may display briefly while the requested list is being retrieved. "N/A" may display if there is no list. In this case, scrolling is disabled in ADAMedit for all destinations of the selected type. For further information about scroll settings, search for keyword "scroll" in ADAMedit help.
5 When the keypanel is in single-step scroll mode it may take a long time to scroll to the desired
name (this is particularly true of point-to-point lists). To speed up the process, you can use prefix scroll mode. Prefix scrolling mode scrolls through a list in alpha-numeric order, but displays only the first occurrence of each two-character prefix. For example, if your intercom system had users CAM1, CAM2, CAM3, DIR1, DIR2; prefix scrolling would display CAM1 followed by DIR1. Once you locate a desired two-character prefix using prefix scroll, you can switch back to single-step scrolling to make your final selection. Tap PREFIX to enter prefix scroll mode, then use the  ⎠⎠ keys to scroll. When you locate a name with the same first two characters as the name you are looking for, tap the PGM key to return to single-step scrolling mode.
6 In single-step mode, use the  ⎠⎠ keys to make your final intercom port selection.
If you cannot locate the destination that you are looking for, it may not have scrolling enabled in ADAMedit.

Service Menu, Mod Assign

Normally, this is a service adjustment that is required only when replacing a key and display module. It may also be required if for some reason, the key assignments, as displayed in ADAMedit, appear to be in the wrong positions on the keypanel or expansion panel.
The KP-32 and EKP-32 use module ID numbers (Mod ID numbers) to define the address of each key and display module. See Figure 6.2. By default, Mod 1 is always assigned to the right half of the KP-32 and this never changes, since this module has the keypad and is unique. However, the rest of the modules are identical. When replacing any of these modules, you may have to reset the Mod ID number as follows:

Talk LED Indications
The talk LED is the lower LED for each key. The talk LED indications are as follows:
Continuous Red*
Talk is on and the keypanel operator can be heard at the destination.
Flashing Display Alpha ("In-use")*
The key is off, but someone is talking to the destination. This indication is provided for any local PL, IFB, ISO, or TIF key. It does not apply to remote IFB or ISO keys. This indication is provided so keypanels operators know when critical director communications are occurring. If you activate the key, either of two things will happen:
• If you activate the key and the talk LED turns continuous green, this indicates that you and the
• IFB keys only: If the talk LED flashes red when an IFB key is activated, this indicates that the
Note
The red "in-use" indication for TIF keys can be disabled in ADAMedit: In the ADAMedit Options menu, select Intercom Configuration, then click on the Options tab. Place a check mark next to "Don't generate talliesfor TIF and trunk use". Be sure to send the change to the intercom system. Note that this will also disable the flashing alpha display when talking to remote IFBs or ISOs as previously described.

Note
Note
Solid Red Talk LED & Flashing Display Alternating Pattern of Alpha & (-**-) ("Busy")
You cannot talk at this time. This indication occurs when you activate a local IFB key that is already in-use by a keypanel with a higher IFB priority. It also occurs when you activate any key assigned to a remote destination, but there are currently no trunks available.
Flashing red is also the intended indication when attempting to talk to a remote IFB while someone else with a higher trunk IFB priority is already talking. However, this will require ADAM MC version later than 9.9.x and Trunk MC version later than 7.x.x. As of this writing, these versions are not implemented. Regardless of the indication provided, you will not be heard at the remote location if your keypanel has the lower trunk IFB priority. IFB trunk priorities are set in ADAMedit. (Click the "KP" button on the ADAMedit toolbar to access Keypanels / Ports setup, then click the "Edit" button, then click the "Advanced" tab. Enter the desired IFB priority in the fields provided. Be sure to send the change to the intercom system.)
Flashing Display Alpha (on time equal to off time)*
There is an incoming call from the destination assigned to the key. Activate the key to talk back.
The duration of incoming call flash is controlled by DIP switch 4 on the KP-32 back panel. See "Option Switch Settings" for further information.

Alphas are the user-changeable names which identify destinations (intercom ports, party lines, etc). Change Alpha names for intercom ports using the Port Alpha button in ADAMedit. Change Alpha names for everything else using the Other Alpha button. When you assign a destination to a talk key, the alpha name will appear in the alphanumeric display for that key (on keypanels so equipped).
A key assignment for listen keys only. Auto follow causes a key's listen assignment to always be the same as the talk assignment. Thus, if you change the talk assignment, you do not also have to change the listen assignment. You can manually activate an auto-follow listen key independently of the talk key. If you want auto-activation (or deactivation) of listen during talk, use one of the other auto key assignments, such as auto listen or auto mute.
Auto functions are special key assignments that work with other key assignments. For further information, see the glossary descriptions of individual auto functions: auto-follow, auto-listen, auto-reciprocal, auto-mute, auto-table, all-call, DIM.
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment works like auto follow, except that listen automatically activates during talk, Auto listen is sometimes a good assignment for use with party lines or other non-keypanel devices that do not have talk-back control of matrix crosspoints.
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment works like auto follow, except that listen automatically mutes during talk. Auto mute can help prevent feedback or echo when talking to certain destinations. In some cases, you may find it works better to disable talk latching for this type of key, because if you accidentally leave talk latched on you will never be able to hear the destination. To disable latching, in the Keypanels / Ports menu of ADAMedit, check the "D" check box for any talk key that has auto mute selected as the listen assignment.
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment forces you to continuously listen to whatever is assigned to the talk key. It is used commonly on keypanels which are not equipped with listen keys, to allow listening to party lines. It is also useful to force listening when it is desirable to have an operator continuously hear a party line or other source.
A key assignment for listen keys only, when the corresponding talk key is assigned to an IFB. Auto Table causes a listen key's assignment to always be the same as the Listen Source for whatever IFB is currently assigned to the talk key. (You define the Listen Source in ADAMedit during IFB setup.) Auto Table is convenient in a broadcast environment when a director needs 2­way communication with the IFB talent, AND the IFB keys are frequently reassigned during the course of a program to talk to new talent locations. Using ADAMedit, several IFBs can be set up in advance, and their Listen Sources can also be defined during setup. Then every time an IFB talk key is reassigned on a keypanel, the Listen Source for each new IFB will automatically become the listen key assignment for that key. For further information about Auto Tables, Listen Sources, and IFBs, search for "IFB" in ADAMedit help.

Crosspoint

Dim
GPIO
IFB
The term "Crosspoint", like the term "Matrix" is inherited from intercom systems, such as the RTS CS9500, CS9600, and CS9700, that use a switching matrix to route intercom audio. In those systems, the crosspoints are the actual switches that close or open to connect or disconnect talk and listen paths. RTS ADAM, ADAM CS, and Zeus Intercom Systems do not actually use crosspoint switches, but use a technique called time division multiplexing (TDM), in which communications are routed as digital packets. However, use of the term "crosspoint" persists since packet routing basically accomplishes the same thing as conventional crosspoints: namely, connecting distinct talkers and listeners. In this sense, a crosspoint can be thought of simply as a communication link between any two points in the intercom system.
A destination is anything that a talk key talks to or a listen key listens to. A destination can therefore be any port, party line, IFB, etc.
"Dim" occurs in two contexts in RTS Digital Matrix Intercom Systems.First, there is the Dim Table feature. Dim tables are used to correct a feedback problem that can occur between two keypanels operating in close proximity that have keys assigned to talk/listen to a common destination. Dim tables are set up in ADAMedit (search for keyword "dim" in ADAMedit help. Once a dim table is set up, it can be assigned as a level 2 talk assignment for those keys that are causing the feedback problem. For information about how to make this assignment from a programmable keypanel, search for "Dim Table" in the keypanel manual index.There is also an adjustable speaker dim feature available on the KP-32 Keypanel. This causes the speaker or headphone volume to diminish by a preset amount whenever a talk key is activated. This can help to prevent occasional feedback between the speaker and microphone due to volume settings, microphone placement, etc. For setup and usage, search for "Speaker Dim" in the keypanel manual index.
General Purpose Input / Output. (You may also see this referred to simply as "GPI".) GPIO is a means of controlling devices using switch contact closures, DC voltages, or similar methods. For example, you can control a lighting system from keypanel keys, or key a transmitter from a talk key during transmit. Or, simply operate a light or buzzer for cueing. In ADAM, ADAM CS, and Zeus intercom systems, you can also control intercom events from external switches. For example, you can activate key assignments, close or open crosspoints, activate GPI outputs, etc.In CS9000 Series intercom systems, general purpose control outputs are provided by optional FR9528 Relay Frames (8 relays each). In those systems, a relay may be assigned to an intercom key on a keypanel using the Relay key assignment type. Pressing the intercom key activates the relay.ADAM, ADAM CS, and Zeus intercom systems all have a dedicated GPIO connector (J27 on a Zeus Frame, J903 on an ADAM CS Frame, and J11 on the XCP-ADAM-MC Master Controller Breakout Panel in an ADAM Intercom System). This connector supports 8 control inputs and 8 control outputs. Additionally, one or more UIO-256 Universal Input/Output frames may be connected to the intercom system. Each UIO-256 provides another 16 control inputs and 16 control outputs. Control outputs may be assigned to intercom keys using the Relay key assignment type, and the intercom keys can then control external devices the same as the FR9528. Control inputs can be assigned to activate "virtual" key assignments. (A virtual key assignment is a key assignment at an intercom port where there is not actually any keypanel connected. Basically, you use an external switch to act like a talk or listen key.) The control inputs and outputs can also be used as conditions for UPL statements in ADAMedit.Finally, there is a GPIO option available for the KP-12 keypanel, and a connector module option for the KP-32, which includes GPIO. These are referred to as "Local" GPIO, since they are assigned and used locally at the keypanel. Each local GPIO includes 4 control inputs and 4 control outputs.
IFB (Interrupt Foldback) is a special type of communication in which a listener at a particular intercom output port normally hears an audio program source connected to a particular intercom input port. A keypanel operator can activate a key to interrupt the audio program source and then talk to the listener. Normal operation resumes when the keypanel operator releases the key.IFB is typically used to cue on-the-air talent. For example, the news anchor during a news broadcast typically listens to the broadcast audio mix in an earset (except that the news anchor's own voice audio is removed from the mix). A director at a keypanel can interrupt the broadcast audio to the news anchor's earset and provide new information to the news anchor. IFB could also be used with a PA (public address) system that normally broadcasts background music. The background

music can be interrupted while someone is talking over the PA.IFB's are set up by defining the IFB inputs and outputs using the intercom system configuration software. The intercom output port is called the IFB output and the program input port is called the IFB input. IFBs can also be given names which are meaningful to keypanel operators. Once an IFB has been set up and named, it can be assigned to any keypanel key (provided that IFB assignment has not been restricted or disabled in the intercom system configuration software). For further information about IFBs, search for "IFB" in ADAMedit help.
ISO is a means for a keypanel operator to isolate a particular intercom port for private communication. While the intercom port is isolated, it can only hear audio from the keypanel operator. ISO is frequently used in television broadcasting to temporarily isolate a member of a camera party line. The isolated camera operator can then receive directions without interference from other audio traffic on the party line. ISOs are setup using the intercom system configuration software. Each ISO can also be given a name which is meaningful to keypanel operators. Once an ISO has been set up and named, it can be assigned to any keypanel key (provided that ISO assignment has not been restricted or disabled in the intercom system configuration software). For further information about ISOs, search for "ISO" in ADAMedit help.
"Matrix" is a term inherited from earlier point-to-point intercom systems, where all point-to-point communication was accomplished by closing specific switches in a switching matrix. Examples include the RTS CS9500, CS9600, and CS9700 Intercom Systems. In many instances, "Matrix" is used interchangeably with "Intercom System".RTS ADAM, ADAM CS, and Zeus Intercom Systems, on the other hand, do not use a switching matrix, but use a method called Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), in which communications are routed as digital packets. However, use of the term "matrix" persists since packet routing basically accomplishes the same thing as a conventional switching matrix: namely, connecting distinct talkers and listeners.
A party line (also called a conference line) is a group of intercom ports which can always talk and/ or listen to each other. Party lines have default names PL01, PL02 etc. These names can be changed to more meaningful names using Other Alpha setup in ADAMedit. Members are assigned to a party line using Party Line setup in ADAMedit. Once a party line has been set up, it can also be assigned to a keypanel key either from the configuration software or at a programmable keypanel. This allows the keypanel operator to talk and/or listen to the party line without being a member.IMPORTANT: Do not confuse special lists and party lines. A special list is used when a keypanel operator needs to occasionally talk or listen to a group of intercom ports that are otherwise unrelated. A party line is typically used when several users of non-keypanel devices (such as belt packs or camera intercoms) are engaged in a specific common activity and they need to talk and/or listen to each other all the time. Keypanels are almost never members of party lines (although they can be). However, a keypanel key can be assigned to occasionally talk or listen to a party line if desired. Just remember: party lines are primarily set up for party line members, with occasional access by keypanel operators, while special lists are set up exclusively for keypanel operators to talk or listen to several unrelated intercom ports.For specific information about party line setup, search for "PL" or "party line" in ADAMedit help.
The ports are the individual channels that devices are connected to. Devices include:·2-way communication devices, such as keypanels, belt packs etc.·Audio sources, such as broadcast feeds or background music·Miscellaneous audio output devices, such as powered loudspeakers, PA systems etc. Communication between Ports (Point-to-Point, or P-P)The audio signal from any input port can be routed to any output port. For example, during keypanel setup, you assign keypanel keys so that keypanel operators can talk and listen to other intercom ports. Communication of this type is called point-to-point communication. You can also route signals between intercom ports without keypanels. One way to do this is to force crosspoints in the Crosspoint Status screen of ADAMedit. Another way to do it is with a GPI input. Port ID Numbers and AlphasIntercom ports have identification numbers 001, 002 etc. These numbers cannot be changed, but may not be commonly known to intercom system users. Each intercom port also has a default name, called an "alpha", because this name appears in the alphanumeric displays on keypanels when you assign the ports to keys for talking and listening. The default alpha names are N001, N002 etc. These default alpha names can be changed to ones that are meaningful to keypanel operators using Port Alpha setup In ADAMedit. (Click the "Port Alpha"

button in ADAMedit, then press F1 on the computer keyboard if you need help.)Intercom Data Groups and Port Number CalculationFor data routing purposes, port numbers are arranged in groups of 8 sequential intercom ports. In an ADAM or ADAM CS Intercom System, each Audio I/O card comprises one data group. In a Zeus Intercom System, each group of 8 port connectors comprises a data group. Within each data group, each keypanel is uniquely identified by its address setting. Whenever you display the Panel ID, the intercom system determines which data group the keypanel is connected to, and also the address setting. It then reports the calculated address. For example, suppose a keypanel is connected to data group 3 and the keypanel address is set to 5. Since each data group consists of 8 sequential intercom ports, the calculated port number for this keypanel will be (2*8) + 5, or 21. This is the total of all intercom port numbers on the first 2 data groups, plus the offset of 5 ports into the third data group.Port GainsRTS Keypanels are calibrated to send and receive audio at the standard operating levels of the intercom system. No audio gain adjustment is normally required when connecting these. However, many other types of devices may not operate at the standard intercom system levels. To assure signal level compatibility between the various types of audio devices connected to the intercom system, there are separate analog input and output gain adjustments for each intercom port. It is also possible to adjust the listen gain for any specific intercom port when listening to any other specific intercom port. This is called the point-to-point listen gain, or crosspoint gain. For example, a keypanel operator might want to monitor a music source connected at some intercom port, but at a reduced audio level so that it does not interfere with normal intercom communications. The crosspoint gain can be reduced for the keypanel port listening to the port where the music source is connected.Analog gain adjustment is only available using ADAMedit. Crosspoint gains can be adjusted either within ADAMedit or from a programmable keypanel. For further information on any gain adjustment in ADAMedit, search for keyword "gain" in ADAMedit help. For procedures to adjust gain from a programmable keypanel, look for "gain" in the manual index.
Relay is used interchangeable with GPI output. The relay feature works with the 16 GPI outputs of an optional UIO-256 Universal Input / Output Frame, and with the relay outputs of an FR9528 Relay Frame. The relay feature also works with the 8 GPI outputs of an ADAM, ADAM CS, or Zeus intercom system (J27 on a Zeus Frame, J903 on an ADAM CS Frame, and J11 on the XCP­ADAM-MC Master Controller Breakout Panel in an ADAM Intercom System). You can assign a keypanel key to control a GPI output from any of these devices, and then use that key and output to control an external device. For example, you could use a keypanel key to control lighting. Or, you could assign a relay as a level 2 talk key assignment in a stacked talk key arrangement to both send audio and key a device, such as a paging amplifier or a 2-way radio.
A special list is a means for a keypanel operator to talk and/or listen to several unrelated destinations using a single key. Special lists are useful for group call or zone paging. Special list members are defined in the intercom configuration software. Once a special list has been configured, it can be assigned to a keypanel key.A special list is a group of intercom ports that a keypanel operator can talk or listen to by activating a single key. Special lists are typically used for paging, all call, group call etc. Special lists have default names SL01, SL02 etc. These names can be changed using Other Alpha setup. You define the members of the special list using Special List setup. Once a special list has been set up, you typically assign it to a keypanel key using Keypanel setup. The keypanel operator can then activate the special list key to talk or listen to all members of the special list.IMPORTANT: Do not confuse special lists and party lines. A special list is used when a keypanel operator needs to occasionally talk or listen to a group of intercom ports that are otherwise unrelated. A party line is typically used when several users of non­keypanel devices (such as belt packs or camera intercoms) are engaged in a specific common activity and they need to talk and/or listen to each other all the time. Keypanels are almost never members of party lines (although they can be). However, a keypanel key can be assigned to occasionally talk or listen to a party line if desired. Just remember: party lines are primarily set up for party line members, with occasional access by keypanel operators, while special lists are set up exclusively for keypanel operators to talk or listen to several unrelated intercom ports.For specific information about special list setup, search for "special list" in ADAMedit help.

Talk Level 1
Talk Level 2
Trunking
Talk level 1 is the normal talk key assignment. This is the assignment that normally appears in the alphanumeric display (on keypanels so equipped). You may add a talk level 2 assignment to activate a second device along with talk level 1.
Talk level 2 is used with stacked talk keys. A stacked talk key activates two types of communication at once. For example, a stacked talk key could simultaneously activate audio output to a transmitter and key the transmitter using a relay. The audio output is called the level l assignment and the relay is called the level 2 assignment.
Trunking is a method of interconnecting two or more independent intercom systems. The connection is accomplished by reserving one or more audio ports in each of the intercom systems for use as audio links between the systems. A special device, called a Trunking Master Controller, is required to control access and usage for the trunked intercom ports. A configuration utility, called CStrunk, is used to set up the Trunking Master Controller.

Installation

Installation of the RVON-1 Card

Before using the RVON-1 card with the KP-32, a few modifications need to be made to the keypanel. If the serial number on your KP-32 keypanel is 61170, you will need to update you backpanel with the Ethernet RJ-45 connection (part number ­9080-7656-002) knockout present. Also, the KP-32 flash chips need to be replaced with larger flash chips (4MB) see Table 2, “Flash Chip replacement part numbers.,” on page 14.
To install the RVON-1 card, do the following:

1. Remo ve the cover from the KP-32 keypanel.

2. If present, remove the GPI/ O board.
The GPI/O board contains the general purpose input and output connections located on the back cover.
3. Using a chip extractor, carefully remove and replace the flash chips located at U2 and U3 on the KP-32 Motherboard, see
“Flash Chip Replacement” on page 14.
4. Using a hammer and screwdriver, remove the specified knockout pieces, see Figure 2..
5. Moun t the supplied spacer on the RVON-1 card on the corner of the card near the DIP switch. See Figure 3 on page 16.

6. Securely connect the RVON-1 card to the KP-32 motherboard , see page X for connector specifics.

7. Replace the GP I/O board.

8. Re-attach the backplate to the KP-32 keypanel. Be sure to secure the spacer with a screw in the back plate. See Figure 2 on
page 15

9. Replace the cover on the KP-32 keypanel.

In the KP-32 keypanel, the R VON-1 card connects to the KP-32 by way of the J2 connector on the RVON-1, attached to J4 on the KP-32 header.
10. Gently secure the board in place (see Figure 4.).

NOTE: Be sure the orientation of the board is correct, otherwise undesirable effects may occur. Make sure the RJ-45 connection is positioned so it will fit through the specified knockout on the back cover . When installing the RVON-1 card in an existing KP-32 or KP-812, each keypanel needs to be upgraded to include the following:
KP-32
A backplate that allows for the RJ-45 connection (Ethernet).
Larger flash chips.
KP-812
A backplate that allows for the RJ-45 connection (Ethernet)
Extension for the RJ-45 connector.

RVON-1 Relay

When connected to an Ethernet LAN, audio comes from the RVON-1 card; and, when Ethernet is not plugged in, the audio comes from the AIO connection. Note, the user does not need to remove the RVON-1 to switch to AIO mode.
WARNING: You cannot have both an Ethernet connection and an AIO connection simultaneously. If the Ethernet and AIO are connected simultaneously, no audio communication will occur.
Addresses and the RVON-1
Because the RVON-1 has an Ethernet interface, it is required to have a MAC (Media Access Control) Address. This is a low level address that contains 48 bits. Do NOT confuse this address with an IP (Internet Protocol) Address. In order to be IP com­pliant, all cards must have a unique MAC ID when shipped from the manufacturer. Typically, the MAC ID of a piece of hard­ware, such as the RVON-1 card, has a fixed or static address. Where as the RVON-1 card’s IP Address can change over time.
The MAC Address uniquely identifies each node of a network and interfaces directly with the network media. The RVON-1 card has a small 8-pin serial device on the board that the processor can read the unique MAC Address from. For more information on MAC IDs, contact technical support.
NOTE: Each RVON-1 card needs to be programmed with it s own IP Address.
17
Installation

Configure the RVON-1 from the KP-32

T o use the RVON-1 with the KP-32, the KP-32 firmware must be at version 2.0.0 or higher. In turn, the firmware requires that larger flash chips be used as well (see See “Flash Chip replacement part numbers.” on page 14.).

8. From the Packet Sized drop down list, select the size of each audio packet.

NOTE: A CODEC is an algorithm used to compress audio. Codecs dictate the quality of audio you hear and the network bandwidth used. The packet size determines how much audio data is carried across the network in each transmitted packet. The CODEC type and packet size chosen require different amounts of bandwidth from the network. As with the CODEC type, the packet size you choose for the audio transfer will affect the audio you hear and the bandwidth you use over the network. The larger the audio packet you choose to use, the lower the bandwidth used. However, the larger packet size can result in a higher delay and longer gaps if the packet is lost. On the other hand, smaller packet sizes result in larger bandwidth use, but lower delays and smaller gaps if the packet is lost. The Intercom System Engineer and the Network Designer may want to work together in choosing the CODEC type and packet size suitable for the size of the network, so degradation of network resources does not occur.
9. Select E na ble VAD (Voice Activation Detection), if you want to conserve bandwidth when the audio level is below a
given threshold.
NOTE: VAD saves network bandwidth by stopping the flow of audio packets when silence is detected. VAD is similar to VOX.

Basic Network Configuration

Basic Network Configuration
This section covers basic network configuration set-up and testing. Also covered are basic concepts and operations, including the difference between LAN and WAN networks and how IP Addressing is used.
In a networked environment, such as a company, typically there are many compu ters connected together using a router or a switch. In larger companies, there may be several different routers distributed in buildings and plant locations. A router allows any LAN-side computer to communicate with other computers and devices outside the LAN (local area network). Routers send data packets from one place to another place on a network. routers use network addresses to route packets to the correct destination. For example, in a TCP/IP network, the IP (internet protocol) address of the network interface is used to direct router destinations.
Because routers help computers inside the LAN “talk” with computers outside of the LAN, the security of a company’s LAN may be compromised by gaps of open ports in the router. Security measures may have been instituted to compensate for these vulnerabilities. Consult you network administrator to learn about the security measures taken to protect your network. VPN, or virtual private network, is one such security measure to protect the intelligence of the LAN. A computer outside the LAN must have an address or key known by the VPN to allow access to the LAN. Many companies use a VPN to connect two different LANs, thus allowing the transfer of data between two networks.

LAN (local area network) vs. WAN (wide area network)

LOCAL AREA NETWORK

Simply put, a LAN is a computer network that connects a relatively small area (a single building or group of buildings). Most LANs connect workstations and computers to each other. Each computer (also known as a “node”), has its own processing unit and executes its own programs; however, it can also access data and devices anywhere on the LAN. This means many users can access and share the same information and devices. A good example of a LAN device is a network printer. Most companies cannot afford the budgetary or hardware expense of providing printers for each of its users; therefore, one printer (or device) is placed on the LAN where every user can access the same printer.
The LAN uses IP Addresses to route data to different destinations on the network. An IP Address is a 32-bit numeric address consisting of four numbers separated by periods (for example, 1.160.10.240).
NOTE: For more information on IP Addresses, see you local network administrator.
25
Basic Network Configuration
Figure 6. Local Area Network Diagram

WIDE AREA NETWORK

A wide area network (WAN) connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headq uart e rs in Burnsvil le, MN is connected to several branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over a WAN. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.
Figure 7. Wide Area Network Diagram
26
Basic Network Configuration

ACCESSING THE WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)

Figure 3 shows LAN IP Addresses using a common IP Address, 10.2.100.X (192.168.X.X is another common address). Most devices are shipped with these addresses as its default. It is recommended to use these addresses for LANs.
Figure 8. Network Address Translation

NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION (NAT)

Using the initial IP Address, then converting it to a valid WAN IP Address is how the network address translation works, in theory . Once the IP address is changed, it is up to the network interface device (such as a router, gateway, switch, etc.) to keep track of which computers are talking on which ports. For example, if two local devices (PC1 and PC2 in Figure 3) both wanted to talk via port 1031, then the network interface device would have to change one of the port requests to the next available port,
1032.

PORTS

In general, a network port is an endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of port it is. For example, port 80 is used for HTTP traffic. When you type an address into the address bar of a web browser, your computer goes to find an IP Address for the url you are requesting (http://www.telex.com). To obtain this address, the computer contacts a DNS server (Domain Name Server). Once the IP Address is found, it tries to connect to the http port of the network device (port 80). See Table 1 for a list of the more well -k nown port numbers.
Each network device can be set-up to respond or not respond to the various ports. The function of responding or “hosting a service” is called “serving”.

If a second workstation on the LAN wants to communicate to the same server, and happens to use the same source port number, then the LAN Modem will translate the source port number as well as the source IP address. In Table, 2, a second LAN computer wants to access a web page. The NAT device now uses port 1032 for this connection where it used port 1031 in Table 1.

IP ADDRESSES

If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS screen in a W indows®- based environment and bring up the ipconfig screen.
28
Basic Network Configuration
To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following:
1. From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen.
2. A t the pro mp t, type ipconfig, then press Enter.
The IP configurations appear for your machine, such as the DNS suffix, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
3. A t the pro mp t, type Exit to close the screen.
NOTE: If you want more detailed parameters for your machine, type ipconfig/All. This screen sh ows the computers network
configuration settings.

Ping a Computer

Pinging a computer on the network makes sure it is able to be “seen” and receive messages on the network.
NOTE: You can also ping your RVON-8 card to verify that it is responding over the network by putting the cards IP Address in place of the computer IP Address.
To Ping a computer on the network, do the following:
1. Fro m the Start menu, select Run... .
29
Basic Network Configuration
2. At the Run command, type CMD to open a Command Prompt screen.
3. At th e prompt, typ e the IP Address of the computer you wish to ping (for example, 10.2.100.130).
4. Press Enter.
NOTE: If the computer you are pinging is not responding to the ping, you will receive a time-out message in the command prompt screen.

POSSIBLE PITFALL WITH ROUTERS, GATEWAYS, AND SWITCHES

Anytime computers communicate through routers, gateways, and switches, they may be allowed or denied the connection. Network interface devices can be configured to block specific outgoing requests, as well as incoming requests, based on the IP Address and/or port. This is one of the security mechanisms of a router. This also happens when broa dcast messages are sent and received.
To view the path an IP Address takes to retrieve information, you can execute a tracert from the Command Prompt Screen.
1. From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen.
30

RVON Configuration

2. A t the pro mp t, type tracert and type the url or IP Address you want to trace.
3. Press Enter.
The details of the tracer route are displayed.
NOTE: You will the message “request timed out” if the IP Address/ port IN or OUT is denied to the incomin g or out goi ng message.
4. When you are finished, type exit to close the Command Prompt screen.
RVON Configuration
RVON cards use ports for communication of audio and control packets. Because routers can be configured to block certain incoming and outgoing requests, you will need to open the following ports in your network to allow WAN connections to and from a Network Interface Device. See Table X for the ports that need to be opened for the RVON cards to operate properly.

TABLE 4. Ports necessary for RVON card functionality.

Basic Network Configuration
Below, is an example of a router configuration screen. Not all routers are configured the same way and may not look exactly like this screen.
NOTE: Linksys™ supports up to 253 nodes on a router. This is why it is called a Router/Switch because there are WAN functions like a router as well as having a 4-port LAN sw itch. It also does not support simultaneous forward and DHCP.

Network Terminology

Bridges
A bridge is a device that connects two LANs, or two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol.
Sometimes called “transparent bridges, they work at the OSI model Layer 2. Simply put, they are not concerned with protocols. Their main job is to pass data to a destination address that is predetermined in the data packet.
With a bridge, all of your computers are on the same network subnet (see Subnet). This means your computers can communicate with each other and have their own Internet connection. If you assign your own IP Addresses be sure to use the same first 3 “octets” of the IP Address (for example, 192.168.0.X).
Domain Name Server (DNS)
A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names (for example, in the URL http:// www.telex.com, the domain name is the telex.com) into IP Addresses. The Internet is based on IP Addresses which are numeric and since domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. Every time a domain name is used it must go through the DNS server to be translated into an IP Address.
32
Network Terminology
Gateway
A gateway is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. The gateway routes traffic
from a computer to an outside network that is serving the web pages. For example, the gateway for a home computer is the ISP provider that connects the user to the Internet.
In a corporate environment, the gateway often acts as a proxy server and a firewall. Gateways are similar to routers and switches in that they forward data to the destination and provide the path for which the data will travel to the destination.
Hub
A hub is a common connection point for devices in a network. A hub has multiple ports. When a data packet
arrives at a hub, it is copied and distributed to all of its ports so that all nodes on the LAN can see the packets.
There are three types of hubs:
passive hub
- this hub serves as a conduit for the data, enabling it to go from one device to another.
intelligent hub (also known as manageable hubs) - this hub includes addition features that enable administrators
to monitor traffic through the hub.
switching hub - this hub reads the destination address of each packet and then forwards the data pack to the
appropriate port.
IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
An IP Address is an identifier or numerical name for a computer or device on a network. Data between computers are routed over the network using these addresses to identify the computer the message is being sent to and the computer the message is being sent from.
The format of an IP Address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. For example, an IP Address looks like 10.100.1.1.
IMPORTANT: When working within an isolated network (meaning there is no Internet access), IP Addresses can be assigned at random just as long as they are unique to each computer and device. When the isolated network is connected to the Internet, registered Internet Addresses must be obtained. This is to prevent duplication of addresses.
The four numbers in and IP Address are used in different was to identify a particular network and host on that network. There are three classes of Internet Addresses.
CLASS A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 127 networks. CLASS B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks. CLASS C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks.
LAN
A LAN is a computer network that connects a relatively small area (a single building or group of buildings). Most LANs connect work stations and computers to each other. Each computer (also known as a “node”), has its own processing unit and executes its own processing unit and executes its own programs; however it can also access data and devices anywhere on the LAN. This means that many users can access and share the same information and devices. A good example of a LAN device is a network printer. Most companies cannot afford the budgetary or hardware expense of providing printers for each of its users; therefore, one printer (i.e., device) is placed on the LAN where every user can access the same printer.
The LAN uses IP Addresses to route data to different destinations on the network. An IP Address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods (for example 1.160.10.240).
33
Basic Network Configuration
Port
A port, when referring to TCP and UDP networks, is an endpoint in a logical connection. The port number identifies the type of port it is. For example, port 80 is used for HTTP traffic.
Routers
A router is a device that forwards data packets over networks. Most commonly, a router is connected to at least two networks (normally LANs or WANs). Routers are located at gateways, the place where two networks are connected. Routers do little data filtering, they mainly deliver the data.
Subnet
A subnet is a portio n of a network that shares a common address component. On a TCP/IP network, a subnet is described as all computers or devices whose IP Address have the same prefix.
Subnetting a network is useful because it provides security for the network as well as increases performance of the network. IP networks are divided using subnet masks.
Switches
A switch is a device that filters and forwards data packets between networks. Switches operate at the data layer, and sometimes at the network layer.
WAN
A wide area network connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, T elex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several of its branch of fices in Nebraska and Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN is the Internet.
