1.0General
This application note demonstrates how to configure and connect the Telex Dispatch
IP-223 Remote Adapter Panel panel to an RTS Intercom System. This interface provides PTT
(Push To Talk) control and audio connections from most LMRs (Land Mobile Radio) to the
operator keypanels.

3.0LMR Configuration Example
A line to line configuration example using an LMR is shown in Figure 2. The line to line
crosspatch is enabled in the IP-223. Control logic and audio (6-wire E&M) are generated by the
RTS system; these are connected to Line 2 I/O on the Ip-223 which is configured for local mode
operation.
Line 1 I/O of the IP-223 is also configured for local mode operation and is directly connected to a
LMR radio.
Receive audio from the LMR is connected to the IP-223’s Line 1 I/O. Based on COR (Carrier
Operated Relay) or LAM (Line Activity Monitor), the IP-223 passes this audio to the IP-223’s
Line 2 and out to the RTS Intercom System for playback at keypanels. P T T commands at the
keypanel generate a relay closure that activates the COR logic at the IP-223. The IP-223 then
accepts audio on its Line 2 input. The crosspatch transfers the audio from Line 2 to Line 1 and a
relay closure is activated to key the LMR. Audio is passed from the IP-223 Line 1 to modulate the
LMR.

4.0iDEN Configuration Example
An iDEN configuration example is shown in Figure 6. Line-to-line Crosspatch is enabled in the
IP-223. Control logic and audio (6-wire E&M) are generated by the RTS system; these are
connected to Line 2 I/O which is configured for local mode operation. Line 1 I/O of the IP-223 is
also configured for local mode operation with iDEN as the selected radio. A Telex NI-223 is
required for this interface.
Receive audio from the iDEN is connected to the Line 1 I/O of the IP-223. Based on LAM levels,
the IP-223 passes the audio to Line 2 and out to the RTS Intercom System for playback at
keypanels. P TT commands at the keypanel generate a relay closure that activates the COR logic at
the IP-223. The IP-223 then accepts audio on its Line 2 input. The crosspatch transfers the audio
from Line 2 to Line 1, and a relay closure is activated to key the iDEN. Audio is passed from the
IP-223 Line 1 to modulate the iDEN.

5.0WAN/LAN Remote Configuration Example
The Telex IP-223 Adapter Panel can be employed to provide access to remote radio devices over
a LAN or WAN. See Figure 10.
Receive audio from the LMR, or iDEN handset, is connected to the line’s I/O (DB-25) of the
remote IP-223. This audio is passed, via the IP network, to the corresponding line I/O of the local
IP-223. A PTT command, and audio, from the RTS keypanel, received at the local IP-223 line
I/O, are passed across the IP network to the remote IP-223. The remote IP-223 keys the radio
device and passes audio for transmission.

6.0Remote Tone Control Configuration Example
FIGURE 14. Remote Tone Control Example
Line to Line Crosspatch, see Figure 14, is enabled in the IP-223. Control logic and audio (6-wire
E&M) are generated by the R TS system; these are connected to Line 2 I/O on the IP-223 which is
configured for Local mode operation. Line 1 I/O of the IP223 is configured for Tone mode
operation and is connected to a 2- or 4-wire lease line for Tone Remote operation of a LMR
mobile radio. Industry standard radio control tones are generated and coupled with voice audio for
control of distant radio locations. Control tones are decoded by either a Telex TRA-223 or
DSP-223 Tone Remote Adaptor which is directly connected to the LMR radio.
Receive audio from the LMR is connected to the I/O of the DSP-223 and amplified down the
2- or 4-wire line to Line 1 I/O of the IP-223. The IP-223 based on LAM passes audio to Line 2 of
the IP-223 and out to the RTS Intercom System for playback at keypanels. PTT commands on a
keypanel generate a relay closure and audio is inserted on Line 2 of the IP-223 COR and audio
inputs. This creates a P TT tone generation sent out Line 1 of the IP-223 onto the 2- or 4-wire line
to the remote radio adaptor, the tone is decoded and a relay closure to key the LMR is generated,
audio is coupled and passed to the radio.

The IP-223 must be configured for tone mode operation on line 1 and local mode on Line 2.
