Introduction
Introduction
The RTS MCII-e System controller card is the third generation controller for the ADAM Intercom System. Designed to
replace the ADAM-MC, it adds a number of key features. Adding Ethernet connectivity between the ADAM Intercom and the
PC running AZedit, the new controller can support up to 35 simultaneous AZedit sessions (32 using Ethernet and up to 3 using
serial ports). Using a pair of MCII-e controller cards will provide full redundancy with seamless automatic change-over upon
failure.
The speed of Ethernet, combined with expanded memory, allows the card to fully support large matrices with reduced setup
file download time.
As with all ADAM™ Intercom family products, the MCII-e card supports all standard, hot-swappable, and configurable
features through the AZedit configuration software. It is fully compatible with existing ADAM systems and cards, including
AIO-8, AIO-16, AES-3, and RVON VOIP interfaces
*The New MCII-e System Controller card is only for use in the ADAM Matrix Intercom System and cannot be intermixed with older ADAM
master controllers in a given frame.
Features
Installation:The MCII-e System Controller card is hot-swappable and installs into slots 19 or 20 in an
ADAM™ Intercom System.
®
Trunk Capable:The MCII-e System Controller card supports ancillary data control for use with Telex
Trunking.
Ethernet Compatible:Fully Ethernet capable. The MCII-e provides a single RJ-45 connection for use with a 10BASE-T
or 100BASE-TX compliant and network. Each system contro ller ha s its own IP address network
access.
AZedit Configurations:The MCII-e can connect to AZedit via Ethernet or Serial (RS-232) connections. Also, the new
Intercom Sizing Wizard in AZedit makes configuring the new system controller card easier than
ever.

XCP-ADAM-MC Master Controller Breakout Panel
The XCP-ADAM-MC Breakout Panel allows many different peripherals to be connected to the master controller of an ADAM
Intercom System, such as AZedit, trunking systems, UIOs, PAPs, LCPs, GPI/Os, etc. For the breakout panel pinouts, see pages
9-15.
AZedit
AZedit is a Windows®-based, full-featured configuration software, providing online and offline configuration capabilities. It
gives you the ability to manage multiple intercom systems, assign and reassign users to dif ferent ports, as well as dynamically
add hardware to your system setup without jumper changes, rewiring, or taking the system offline. AZedit has the capability to
load pre-set configuration files, which means configurations saved to a disk can be uploaded to the “live” application at
anytime, without interruption.
The XCP-ADAM-MC breakout panel has three DB-9 connectors that can be used to connect to AZedit (AZedit #1, #2, and
#3).
Trunking Systems
The RTS™ Trun king System manages intercommunications between separate intercom systems using intercom ports that
have been reserved and interconnected between the intercom systems with devices in other frames. Keypanels or other data
devices can then communicate with devices in other frames.
UIO-256
Each UIO-256 provides 16 GPI inputs and16 GPI outputs. The GPI inputs can be used just like keypanel keys to activate
intercom ports, party lines, relays, etc. Each relay output provides a choice of normal open and normal closed contacts. The
20
Accessories
relays can be assigned for activation from keypanel keys, and can be used to control lighting, or to key remote transmitters,
paging systems, etc.
PAP
Program Assist Panels provide a fast and easy method of selecting any of several program sources (connected to input ports of
the intercom system) for use with the IFB outputs feature of the intercom system.
LCP
The LCP panel (Level Control Panel) combines the functionality of three products into one. The LCP allows you to adjust
analog input and output gains, assign sources to IFB outputs and make changes on the fly, and to add members to a party line
on the fly.
GPI/O (General Purpose Input/Output)
J11 provides 8 general purpose control inputs and 8 general purpose control outputs. The control inp ut s ca n be used just like
keypanel keys to activate intercom port s, party lines, relays, etc. The control outputs are open-collector, active-low outputs.
They can be activated by keypanel keys and can be used to control lighting, to key a remote transmitter, to activate a paging
system, etc.
Pin-outs for the digital inputs and outputs are summarized in the table on page 15.
