FUNC

The RTS™ Model KP-632/24 Keypanel mounts in a standard 19” equipment rack, is two rack
spaces high and has 24 lever keys: 22 keys for intercom talk/listen assignment; 1 key for call
waiting respond/clear; and 1 key for headset/microphone switching. The KP-632/24, like the
KP-32 keypanel, combines all of the programmable features of the KP-9X and KP-12 series of
keypanels. It adds significant new features such as digital signal processing and binaural headset
operation with lerft/right assignment of audio signals. The KP-632/24 introduces large LCD
displays with adjustable backlighting. These new displays allow for a total of 6 characters per key
which translates into more naming possiblities.

• Large LCD displays that provide 6 characters per lever key. Provides good contrast with
adjustable backlighting over a wide range of light conditions.

• 24 lever keys, with 22 keys available for full Talk/Listen configuration. Keys support both
latching (hands-free) and momentary (push-to-talk) operation.

• Enhanced programming keypad. Provides the complete KP-9X keypand command subset, plus
new keypad commands and an extensive scrollable menu system. Menus include helpful
prompts to walk the user through setup.

• Only 90 mm deep behind the front panel (approximately 130 mm with connectors). Perfect for
consoles, OB vans, etc.

• Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Improves microphone voice activation and limiting. Adds
new mixing, metering and filtering capabilities.

• Binaural (5-pin) Headset Connector: Works with the DSP mixing feature. Lets you
independently assign intercom, mic, and program audio to left or right headphone. Note:
monaural (4-pin) connector available as an option. For monaural operation, the mixer lets you
select which items are monitored in the headphones.

Options

• Upgradeable. Firmware updates can be received via the internet, for example, and then
downloaded to the KP-632 via the intercom connection. Firmware is available in both English
and Japanese Katakana character sets.

• Optional General Purpose Interface (GPI)/Connector module: Can be installed either in the
factory or in the field. Provides a variety of audio and logic inputs and outputs.

• Optional EKP-632 Expansion Panel: Provides additional Talk/Listen keys for a total of 48
Talk/Listen keys.

GPI/Connector Module

Figure 1.2

Provides connectors for two line-level audio inputs (program 1 and 2), an unswitched, balanced
microphone preamplifier output, an external headset, an external speaker output, and a foot
switch input (for remote switch activation of all "armed" talk keys, or just one key). Also includes
a General Purpose Input / Output (GPIO), with four opto-isolated inputs, two open-collector
outputs, and two SPDT relay outputs. Inputs can activate single keys, groups of keys, or change
setup pages. Outputs can activate external devices from keypanel keys or from GPI inputs.
Available factory installed or as an add-on kit.

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.

NSTALLATION

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-632 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 ADAMedit and ZEUSedit 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.

Switch 8: 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-632 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.

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-632 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.

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.

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-632 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

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-632 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-632 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-632 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

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

Note

The last dialed phone number is always stored at the TIF and over-writes any previously dialed
phone number. If several people have access to the TIF, redial may not produce the results that
you expect!

5 If the far end answers, tap "down" on the TIF key to activate talk.

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

KP9X Autodial Sequences

Unlike the autodial operations using the KP-632 menu system, which store telephone numbers
locally within the KP-632, the KP9X autodial operations work with telephone numbers that are
stored at the TIF-951 / TIF-2000. The advantage to saving at the TIF-951 / TIF-2000 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 / TIF­2000 are stored in volatile memory and will be lost if the TIF-951 / TIF-2000 loses power.

Storing an Autodial Number in the TIF-951 / TIF-2000

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.

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 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-632 requires 2 setup pages, it uses the main
page assignments and also one expansion page (Figure 5.1). The EKP-632 uses two additional
expansion pages.

KEYPAD PROGRAMMING, ASSIGNING SETUP PAGES

VRst

PGM

1 Tap the E-PNL key.

2 Select one of the four setup pages: tap 1 , or 2 , etc.

3 Tap the PGM key.

4 Tap any key in the row of keys where you want to assign the setup page.

5-3

Notes

• The same setup page cannot be assigned in more than one place. If a setup page is already

assigned somewhere else, you must clear or change that assignment first. With the exception of
the main row assignment, you can clear any page assignment from a row of keys by entering
E-PNL 0 PGM, then pressing any key in the row.

• If you cannot change the setup page assignments for a particular keypanel, this feature may be

restricted in ADAMedit (Keypanels / Ports screen, Edit button, Setup tab, Setup Page Options).

• 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-632 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.

7 Copy the selected port to a talk or listen key:

1 Tap COPY

Method 2: Copying a Blank Key Assignment to the Key that You want to Clear

1 Tap the FUNC key.

2 Tap the EX COPY key.

3 Tap an unassigned key.

4 Tap the key that you want to clear. Tap up to clear listen, down to clear talk.

If a key will not clear, it is probably restricted using the "R" check box in ADAMedit.

Service Menu, LCP-632

By default, each LCP-632 that you connect to the KP-632 takes control of level adjustment for the
first available group of 16 physical keys that it finds. The first LCP-632 adjusts keys 1-12, which
corresponds to the bottom row of keys on the KP-632; the second LCP-632 adjusts keys 13-24,
and so forth (Figure 6.1). If you do not want to use an LCP-632 with certain keys, you must
program the KP-632 to skip those keys.

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-632 and EKP-632 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-632 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:

LED Indications for Intercom Keys

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-632 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-632 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-632, 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.

11-4 KP-632 User Manual

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.

Introduction

General Description of the RVON-1 Voice Over Network Card

Installed directly into KP-32 or KP-812 keypanels, the RVON-1 provides voice over IP (Internet Protocol) commu­nications for the RTS™ ADAM intercom family. In general, voice over IP means sending voice information in digital
form using discrete packets rather than the traditional hardwire connection. The RVON-1 delivers an integrated
solution for connecting keypanels to the Intercom matrix over standard IP networks.

The RVON-1 is compatible with any RTS™ Matrix Intercom system equipped with a suitable RVON interface. In
conjunction with any new or existing KP-32 or KP-812 keypanel, the RVON-1 brings a new level of enterprise-wide
and remote access functionality to your RTS™ Matrix Intercom.

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 RVON­1 card 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.

RVON-1 User Manual 11

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 its own IP Address.

Configure the RVON-1 from the KP-32

To use the RVON-1 with the KP-32, the KP-32 firmware must be at V 2.0.0 or higher. In turn, the firmware
requires that larger flash chips be used as well. For more information, see page 9.

8. From the Packet Size 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 Enable VAD (Voice Activity 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 de-

tected. VAD is similar to VOX.

Appendix A

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 computers connected together
using a router or a switch (for more information router or switch in the definitions section). In larger companies,
there may be several different routers distributed in buildings and plant locations. A router allows any LAN­side computer to communicate with 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 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 your network administrator to learn more 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 of 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 the 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 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 users IP addresses to route data to different destinations on the network. An IP Address is a 32-bit
numerical address written as four numbers separated by periods (for example, 1.160.10.240).

NOTE: For more information on IP Addresses, consult your local network administrator.

Figure 1. Local Area Network Diagram

RVON-1 User Manual 19

Wide Area Network

A wide area network connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For
example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several branch offices in Nebraska and
Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN in existence is the Internet.

Figure 2. Wide area network diagram

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 3. Network Address Translation

20 RVON-1 User Manual

Network Address Translating (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.

Por ts
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, you computer goes to find an IP address for the URL you are requesting (http://
www.telex.com). To obtain this address, the computer contact 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-known 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”.

Table 1. Packet Translation

If a second work station 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 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.
