1.0 General

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.

All Telex Radio Dispatch reference documents are available at http://www.telex.com/Downloads/.

2.0 RTS Matrix to IP-223 Cabling

The R TS Matrix to IP-223 cabling diagram, shown in Figure 1, illustrates pinouts used to connect
an RTS Intercom to a Telex IP-223 Adapter Panel.

NOTE: RTS documents are available at: http://www.rtsintercoms.com/manuals/php.

3.0 LMR 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.

FIGURE 2. Line to Line Configuration Example

3.1 IP-223 Setup

The IP-223 is configured for local mode operation on both Line 1 and Line 2 and a
line-to-line crosspatch is enabled.

NOTE: The IP-223’s default username is admin and the password is blank.

3.1.1 Multicast Address Setup Window

The Multicast Address Setup window, shown in Figure 3, is used to configure the
line type for Lines 1 and 2.

To configure Lines 1 and 2 for an LMR configuration, do the following.

1. Click Multicast Address Setup.

2. From Line 1’s Line Type drop down menu, select Local Mode.

3. From Line 2’s Line Type drop down menu, select Local Mode.

4. Click Submit.

The Multicast Address Setup configuration is temporarily saved.

5. Click Save to EEPROM.

The EEPROM window appears.

6. Click Save Parameters.

All configurations are permanently saved to the IP-223 console.

The Crosspatch Setup window, shown in Figure 4, is used to set up a crosspatch.
To enable crosspatching, do the following:

1. Click CRP Setup.

The Crosspatch Setup window appears.

2. Select the Enable Line-Line check box.

Crosspatching is enabled.

3. Click Submit.

The Crosspatch Setup configuration is temporarily saved.

4. Click Save to EEPROM.

The EEPROM window appears.

5. Click Save Parameters.

All configurations are permanently saved to the IP-223 console.

3.1.3 Per Line Setup Window Line 1

The Per Line Setup window is used to configure per line setup. Line 1
configuration depends on the type of radio interface.

REFERENCE: For more information about special configuration requirements on

Line 2 for the type of radio connected, see the IP-223 Technical
Manual (P/N 803641) or the appropriate application note.

3.1.4 Per Line Setup Window Line 2

The Per Line Setup window, shown in Figure 5, is used to setup the connection to
the RTS equipment. Depending on the connection to the RTS equipment, VOX or
COR triggering may be used.

To configure an RTS supplied relay closure, do the following:

1. Click Per Line Setup.

The Per Line Setup window appears.

2. Click Line Select 2.

The Per Line Setup window for Line 2 appears.

3. Select the COR Enabled check box on Line 2’s Per Line Setup window.

The RTS supplied relay is enabled.

4. Click Submit.

The Per Line Setup configuration is temporarily saved.

5. Click Save to EEPROM.

The EEPROM window appears.

6. Click Save Parameters.

All configurations are permanently saved to the IP-223 console.

4.0 iDEN 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.

4.1 IP-223 Setup

Configure the IP-223 for iDEN on Line 1 and local mode operation on line 2.

NOTE:

• The IP-223’s default username is admin and the password is blank.

• The Line-Line check box on the Crosspatch window and F1 Last Call check box
on the Per Line Setup for Line 1 must be selected.
