and can source 3 mA. This voltage can be used with the relay contacts to
create an active high output for some devices that require a +3.3 VDC signal
to activate. For example, connecting pin 7 to pin 3 of the Relay 1 & 2 connec
tor will result in +3.3 VDC on pin 2 when the relay is activated.

Installation
Note: To see where the DIP Switch is on the circuit board, see Figure 4, page 20.
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 often used by
a director or producer to give instructions to a listener, such as a news anchor during a television
broadcast) could accidently be left on, causing confusion for the IFB listener. To prevent such accidents, the latching feature can be turned off.
2
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 in AZedit.
Switch 2: Enable/ Disable the adjustment of listen volumes.
Default Setting: Open (Enable)
Description: Enables or disables the Key Gain item in the Key Assign menu.
Switch 3: Unused
Default Setting: Open (Enable)
KP-812 Keypanels User Manual
19
Switch 4: Call Flash Time-out
Default Setting: Closed (Infinite Tally)
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. If this DIP switch is closed the flashing light goes off as the callers talk
key is closed. Otherwise, flash time can be set for 15 second time-out, or until the caller’s talk key is
released. Call Flash Time-out can be set to 5 sec, 10 sec, and 15 sec.
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 amber talk LEDs (on time less than off
time), and when the footswitch is activated, the LEDs provide normal talk-on indication.
NOTE:
1. If the talk key is held down in the 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 AZedit. If this is done, the footswitch has no effect on
the keys that have been set to non-latching.
Switch 6: Reserved
Switch 7: Reserved. Must be left in the Open position.
Switch 8: Reserved, Must be left in the Open position.

LED Indications for Intercom Keys
Note: For the Japanese model KP-812 keypanel, the talk ON LED will appear red and the Listen ON
LED will appear green.
Talk LED Indications
Each button is back lit with a Bi-colorLED as an indicator. The talk LED is the button below the display
panel. The talk LED indications are as follows:
Continuous Red
Talk is on and the keypanel operator can be heard at the destination.
Continuous Green 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
keypanel 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 red, this indicates you and the other
keypanel operator are both talk to the destination.
• IFB keys only: If the talk LED flashes green when an IFB key is activated, this indicates the
other keypanel has a higher IFB priority and you cannot talk at this time.
Note: The green “in-use” indication for TIF keys can be disabled in AZedit. In the AZedit Options
menu, select Intercom Configuration, then click on the Options tab. Place a check mark next
to “Don’t generate tallies for TIF and trunk use”. Be sure to send the change to the intercom
system.
Flashing Green Talk LED
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.
KP-812 Keypanels User Manual

Flashing Red Talk LED
There is an incoming call from the destination assigned to the key. Activate the key to talk back.
Note: The duration of incoming call flash is controlled by DIP switch 4 on the KP-812 keypanels. See
Option Switch Settings
, for further information.
Amber 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
or the key has been selected but the handset is still on the receiver.
Listen LED Indication
Each button is back lit with a bi-color LED as an indicator. The listen LED is the button above the
display panel.
Intercom Key Operation
Basic Intercom Key Operation
The upper button of an intercom key is on continuously (if assigned). The lower button activates the
talk (if assigned). If there is no talk assignment for an intercom key, the talk button will not activate. If
there is no listen assignment, the listen button will not activate.
For momentary activation of a key, press and hold the key. Then, release it when finished.
For latching operation (if enabled), tap the button; it will turn on and remain on. Tap the button again to
turn it off when finished.
Note: Latching may be turned off for the entire keypanel by setting DIP switch 1 on the keypanel to
the “closed” position. Latching may be disabled for individual keys on a keypanel using AZedit or the
latching menu (Menu>KeyOption>Latching). Click the KP button in the AZedit toolbar to open the
Keypanels / Ports setup screen. Select the intercom port where the keypanel is connected. Place a
check mark in the check box marked “D” 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
Note: 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.
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. For an assignment other than IFB, auto-table acts like auto-follow.
Note: A full explanation of the auto-table feature is beyond the scope of this manual. For further
information, search for IFB in AZedit help, then read the topics
Setup Procedures
.
IFB Auto-Table Description
and
IFB
All Call Key
Activating the key will also activate all keys to the left of it (up to, but not including another all call 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.
Note: A full explanation of DIM tables is beyond the scope of this manual. For further information,
search for “dim table” in AZedit help.
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.
Exclusive Key
Activating a key that has the exclusive option will cause all other keys to turn off and stay off after the
exclusive key is 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.
Note: Do not confuse this with the Talk+DIM auto function previously described. Talk+DIM affects the
speaker or headphones on the 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 AZedit,
tapping the talk button will activate the KP-812’s dialing menu. See
Telephone Operation
.
Note: You designate an intercom port as a TIF port by checking the Port is TIF check box in AZedit.
In AZedit, click the KP button on the toolbar to access Keypanels / Ports setup. Select the intercom
port where the TIF is connected, then click Edit. Select the Advanced tab. Select the Port is TIF
check box. Remember to send the changes to the intercom system.
Muting the Microphone
Tap the Mic Mute key to turn the microphone muting ON or OFF. The Mic Mute LED indicator activates with a blinking green light.
Note: While muting is on, you cannot be heard on the intercom, 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 will not be a key assigned to talk back to that caller. In
this case, the caller’s name appears in the
back.
To clear a name from a Call Waiting Window, tap the listen key above the assignment.
If two call waiting windows are configured on the keypanel, the first call will display in the left window.
If a second call comes into the keypanel, it will display in the right call waiting window. Once the first
call is complete the call in the right call waiting window moves to the left call waiting window. However,
if the first call waiting window key is latched on and a call is waiting in the second call waiting window
and a third call comes in, then the second call is dropped and the third call displays in the right call
waiting window.

Telephone Operation
Note: Telephone operations require an optional TIF-2000 Telephone Interface. Also, you must first assign an
intercom key to talk/listen to the TIF. We recommend a talk+auto listen assignment.
Receiving a Phone Call
When there is an incoming telephone call, the talk LED will flash green on the selected key
assigned to the TIF.
Note: The green flash for incoming TIF call is the default operation. Alternatively, a continuous-
green talk LED indication can be provided. This is accomplished by checking the check box
“Don’t generate tallies for TIF or trunk use” in AZedit (Options menu, Intercom Configuration,
Options tab). Note, this check box also affects other tally indications. For further information,
see the AZedit User Manual.

By default, each LCP-16 that you connect to the KP-812 Keypanel takes control of level
adjustment for the first available group of 16 physical keys that it finds. The first LCP-16
adjusts keys 1-16, which corresponds to the bottom row of keys on the KP-812 Keypanel; the
second LCP-16 adjusts keys 17-32, and so forth.
If you do not want to use an LCP-16 with certain keys, you must program the KP-812 Keypanel to skip those keys. For example, you may not want to use the LCP-16 with the KP-812
Keypanel but do want to use it with an EKP KP-816. In this case, you must turn off LCP usage

Glossary
A
All Call For talk key assignment only. Activating an All Call key will also activate all talk keys
to the left of the All Call key (up to, but not including another All Call key).
Alpha 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 AZedit. Change alpha names for everything else using the Other Alphas 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).
Auto Follow (AF) A key assignment for listkeys 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 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.
Auto Listen (AL) 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.
Auto Mute (AM) 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 AZedit, check the “D” check box for any talk key that has
auto mute selected as the listen assignment.
Auto Reciprocal (AR) A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment forces you to continuously
listen ton 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.
KP-812 Keypanels User Manual
63
Auto Table (AT) 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 AZedit during IFB setup.) Auto Table is convenient in a broadcast
environment when a director needs 2-way 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 AZedit, 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.
C
Crosspoint 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.
D
Destination 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 “Dim” occurs in two contexts in RTS™Digital Matrix Intercom Systems. First, 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 setup in AZedit (search for keyword
“dim” in AZedit help). Once a dim table is setup, 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. Second, the adjustable speaker dim available of
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
feeback 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.

KP-812 Keypanels User Manual
G
GPIO General Purpose Input / Output. (You may also see this referred 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 button 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 no
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 AZedit. 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.
I
IFB (Interrupt Foldback) is a special type of communication in which a listener at a particu-
lar intercom output port normally hears an audio program source connected to a
particular intercom 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-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. IFBs
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 “IFB” in AZedit user manual.
KP-812 Keypanels User Manual
65
ISO (Camera ISO) 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, see the AZedit user manual.
M
Matrix “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 Systems”. 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.
P
Party Line (PL) 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 AZedit. Members are assigned to a party line using Party Line setup in
AZedit. 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 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.
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, see the AZedit User Manual.
Port 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. 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 AZedit. Another way to do this is
to with a GPI Input. Intercom 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
66
KP-812 Keypanels User Manual
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 AZedit.
For data routing purposes, port numbers are arranged in groups of eight 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 eight port
connectors comprises a data group. Within each data group, each keypanel is
uniquely identified by is 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 eight 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 two data groups, plus the offset of five ports into the third data
group.
RTS™ 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 AZedit. Crosspoint gains can be adjusted either
within AZedit or from a programmable keypanel. For further information, see the
AZedit User Manual.
R
Relay Relay is used interchangeably 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 eight 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 XCP-ADAM-MC Master Controller Breakout
Panel in and ADAM Intercom System). You can assigned 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 2way radio.

Special List 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 AZedit. 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.
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 lists using
Special List setup. Once a special list has been setup, 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 non-keypanel
device (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. 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 more information, see the AZedit
User Manual.
Stacked Key See Talk Level 1 and Talk Level 2 descriptions.
T
Talk Level 1 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 2.
Talk Level 2 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 using a relay. The audio output is call the level 1
assignment and the relay is the called the level 2 assignment.
Trunking 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.
The RVON-1 card is configurable through the keypanel service menu and Telex’s AZedit configuration software. It
is also fully compatible with internationally recognized standards and supports the following protocols: G.711,
G.729 AB, and G.723 (2 bit rates).
The RVON-1 reaffirms RTS’ history of providing support for the latest technology in a fully supported backward
compatible manner to all its RTS™ products.
Features
Installation: The RVON-1 provides a single RJ-45 Ethernet connection for use with a 10 BASE-T
or 100 BASE-TX network.
1 Channel of
Audio In and Out: The RVON-1 card supports one channel in and out and has configurable network and
bandwidth parameters that can be tailored to individual network functions.
Ethernet Compatible: The RVON-1 card uses standard Ethernet protocols and is compatible with 10 BASE-T
and 100 BASE-TX Ethernet compliant devices and networks.
AZedit Configurations: Users have the ability to adjust the audio parameters of the RVON-1 channel to
optimize the available bandwidth.
Swappable Between
Ethernet and AIO
Connection: When connected to an Ethernet LAN, audio comes from the RVON 1 card; and, when an
Ethernet link is not present, the audio comes from the AIO connection.
Note, the user does not need to remove the RVON-1 card to switch to AIO mode.

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 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.

listed, but the connection can only be made through channel 1.
7. From the CODEC Type drop down list, select the CODEC type.
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.
10. Once you are completely finished, click Apply.
Download RVON-1 Firmware Through AZedit
NOTE: AZedit sends firmware directly to the RVON-1 card over Ethernet. This is different from other I/O
cards (except the RVON-8) that receive the firmware from the Master Controller. For this reason, verify the
PC running AZedit is able to contact the RVON-1 card via the network, or is configured with a Gateway IP
Address that can contact the RVON card. If it is not, AZedit will not be able to find the RVON-8 card. To test
the connection, ping the RVON card from a command line. For more information on how to test for a connection, see Appendix A.
To download the RVON-1 Firmware, do the following:
1. Open AZedit.
2. From the Status menu, select Software Versions and then Keypanels.

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.

Amazingly, all the address translation that occurs take place automatically in order to make web browsing and
other functions easier. This is also a way for large web hosting services to speed up the network by having
different devices perform different functions.

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 broadcast messages are sent and received.

RVON-1 Specific Configuration
RVON-1 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

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 you 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 -A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names (for example, in the URL
http://www.telex.com, the domain name is 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. Everytime a domain name is used it must go through the DNS server to be
translated into an IP Address.
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.
These are three types of hubs:
passive hub
device to another.
intelligent hub (also known as manageable hubs)
tures that enable administrators to monitor traffic through the hub.
switching hub
forwards the data packet to the appropriate port.
: this hub serves as a conduit for the data, enabling it to go from one
: this hub includes additional fea
: this hub reads the destination address of each packet and then
IP Address
(Internet
Protocol) - An IP Address is an identifier or numerical name for a computer or device on a network. Data
between computers is routed over the network using these addresses to identify the computer
the message is being sent to and 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.
The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways 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.

of buildings). Most LANs connect workstations and computers to each other. Each computer
(also know as a “node”), has its own processing unit and executes its own programs; however, it can also access data and devices on the LAN. This means that many users can

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.
Por t - 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 portion 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.
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 geographi-
cal area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several of its
branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN in
existence is the Internet.

Telnet & Serial Port Programming of the RVON-1 Card
RVON Serial and Telnet Commands
RVON-1 card programming can also be done via a direct serial or Telnet connection. There are two
physical connections to an RVON-1 board:
• Direct serial through a custom debug cable (J3 6-pin bottom front)
The custom debug cable always functions as the general-purpose debug tool.
• Backcard RJ-45 J7 (Telnet only)
Setup:
Serial Port: 38,400 baud, No-Flow control
Telnet: IP Address, port 23
Configure the RVON-1 Using Telnet and Serial Port
IMPORTANT: Because the RVON-1 card is shipped with a default IP Address it may not be acces-
sible on the network. The IP Address should already be configured before attempting to try to connect
through TELNET. To set the IP Address, use the keypanel display menu, see pages 10 - 14.
Without access to the physical KP-32 or KP-812 where the RVON-1 is installed, you can still configure
the card through the use of Telnet. The following instructions will show you how to access the Telnet
