1 Introduction

The IP-2002 is a unique multi-channel full-featured self-contained desktop radio control console. It will control two lines and is an Ethernet only console; you can use the Vega IP223 adapter panel enabling you to connect between the console and your base station via an Ethernet connection. The IP223 accommodates Ethernet connections for controlling two radios.

The IP-2002 sports a VF display, which provides channel alpha/numeric indication, clock and audio-level meter with a modern membrane keypad. These features allow for a more flexible dispatch environment in which the console may be installed. The dispatcher can easily operate the console while sitting or standing.

The IP-2002 will accommodate a desk microphone, along with a handset (or headset) as indicated on the side of the IP-2002 console. When a PTT occurs from either of the two microphones, the other will mute so as not to pick-up unnecessary ambient noise during transmission. When the handset is taken off hook and a line is Selected, the receive audio from that line is transferred to the earpiece. The IP-2002 also has a front panel microphone, which can be used when the handset/headset is on-hook.

The IP-2002 is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based design, allowing easy field programmability using a computer with installed WEB browser. Unlike other manufacturers’ equipment, no additional software is required to configure the IP-2002 console. Modifications and enhancements can generally be made via a software change only. If the user determines they require a special feature enhancement, please contact the Vega Sales Department for cost and feasibility.

2 Hardware Overview

The IP-2002 is a multi-line; multi-mode console designed specifically for medium level system requirements. All functions are housed in a single modern looking console and consist of the following sub-assemblies: Main Processing Board and Keypad/Display Board.

2.1 Main Processor PCB

The Main Processor board contains two distinct sections, the Ethernet front end and the Signal processing circuitry. The Ethernet front end consists of an ARM processor with an Ethernet MAC, connected to the Physical Interface IC and Transformer. Around the ARM processor are various peripheral devices, including FLASH and SRAM. This section controls all the Ethernet processing, such as the FTP server; web page and packet transfer for the IP-2002. The Signal processing section, featuring the TMS320C5510, is used to do all the audio. The DSP also controls all the keypad and device I/O, as well as, the LED and display drivers.

2.2 Keypad PCB and Display

The Keypad board is interfaced to the main board via a 40-pin IDC ribbon cable. The board contains the circuitry to decode the keypad matrix, and interface the DSP to the display. The display is mounted to the chassis cover with four screws and connected to Keypad PCB with a 14-pin IDC ribbon cable.

Once these values have been set, the unit must be reset for them to take affect. It is now possible to connect to the IP-2002 with a computer and web browser.

5.5 Entering IP-2002 Web Setup

To begin setup of the IP-2002 console, the user must know the base IP address that was entered from the front panel. The address then entered into the browser is http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where the XXX’s refer to the values for the assigned IP address. Upon pressing return in the browser the opening screen should appear as shown in Figure 11.

Clicking on the hyperlink [Click to Enter] will open a dialog box requesting user authentication. There is only one user name defined. It is “admin”. If it is the first time the console as been started and no PIN number has been entered, no password will be required. If a PIN has been set, enter it into the password field. Once the username and password has been successfully entered, the opening web page for Basic Ethernet Setup will be displayed.

5.5.1Orange Crossover Cable

An orange crossover cable provides for direct PC to IP-2002 programming through the Ethernet port. This cable should not be used for a direct IP-2002 to Ethernet port connection.

5.6 Basic Ethernet Setup

Figure 12 Basic Ethernet Setup Screen

The Basic Ethernet Setup Page is the default startup page when entering the setup mode, see Figure 12. Across the top of the page is a table 4x3 cells in dimension. Each of these text strings is a link to a different setup page. Clicking the mouse pointer on any of these will immediately load the page clicked on. Moving from one page to the next does not automatically save any data that has been entered. To make changes to a page and save it to memory requires that the “Submit” button at the bottom of each page be pressed. Submit has the effect of sending the contents of the web page back to the IP-2002 for storage.

The fields of the Basic Ethernet Setup page are as follows:

5.6.1Use DHCP Server:

The DHCP server check box is generally left unchecked. DHCP is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It allows the IP-2002 to require all of the information for operation on the network bypassing its manual entry. Vega does not recommend operating with DHCP on. It can cause the Base IP address to change unexpectedly making changing setup of software more difficult. It can be useful for initial setup efforts in determining some of the other parameters.

5.6.2Unit IP Address:

The Unit IP Address is the base address assigned to the IP-2002. It must be unique on the Network. It identifies the console for such operations as setup and software upgrades.
