Introduction

The IP7-ST/STx intercom endpoint provides IP connectivity from an analog call station to TalkMaster™ software. The ST(x) supports audio modes for 3 types of call stations; a ‘single transducer’ 2-way speaker, an Aiphone™ 2-wire panel, or a separate microphone and speaker. Power options include both Power Over Ethernet (PoE - 802.3af compatible) and an external 9-32VDC supply. An integrated relay/sensor supports access control functions such as controlling door entry locks and monitoring status. The STx version supports an integrated 2 port Ethernet switch to connect an additional IP device from a single network drop.

IP7-ST/STX Installation

Important Installation Guidelines

• Choose 18-22 AWG wire for speaker connections. Select appropriate wire gauge to minimize loss on long wire runs

• Do not install near power distribution equipment or noise generating equipment such as stepper motors

• Conform to industry standard practices for grounding • Use shielded, twisted pair wire for microphone signals.

Avoid sharing AC power and audio in conduit runs

Please refer to the IP7-ST/STx Reference Manual available on the TALKMASTER SOFTWARE CD for additional information on installation and setup

Single Transducer Installation Aiphone™ LE / LS Series • Remove Aiphone shorting link between E and - terminals • Connect SPKR 8Ω+ and SPKR 8Ω- (J2-6 and J2-7) to the

“1” and “E” terminals on the Aiphone call station • Connect TALK (J2-5) to Aiphone “–“ (minus) terminal • Connect GND (J2-4) to the shield. Do not connect the

shield at the door station

Single Transducer Installation Quam™ CIS-x and other single transducer speakers

• Connect SPKR 8Ω+ and SPKR 8Ω- (J2-6 and J2-7) to the

speaker terminals (polarity independent) • Connect TALK (J2-5) to a contact on the Talk pushbutton • Jumper a speaker terminal to the remaining contact of the

Talk pushbutton (this wire should be limited to 3 meters or less)

• Connect GND (J2-4) to the shield of the shielded wire. Do not connect the shield at the door station

Relay Options • An integrated Relay uses J3-2, with J3-1 (Normally Open)

or J3-3 (Normally Closed). Use TalkMaster™ to configure the options

Sensor Options • The integrated Sensor can be used to monitor the status

of a door by connecting J3-5 and J3-6 to a contact closure sense switch. Use TalkMaster™ to configure the options

Power Options • Power over Ethernet (PoE - 802.3af compliant) - requires

7 watts from Power Source Equipment (PSE) • 9VDC - 32VDC external via J1-1 and J1-2 connectors or

Aux Power 2.1mm barrel connector. Overrides PoE power if active

Network Installation • Connect an RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet 10/100

connector and a network switch • On the IP7-STx, after the Ethernet 10/100 is connected,

another IP device can be connected to Port 2 10/100 jack

7

Mounting Instructions The IP7 series is design to be mounted on standard 35mm DIN rail or surface mounted using the optional surface mounting plate. • DIN Rail Clip – Tilt top of unit (J1, J2, J3 connectors

facing up with Volume buttons facing forward) back towards the DIN Rail until the IP7-ST DIN clip catches the top of the rail. Press in at the bottom of the IP7-ST to snap into place

• Surface Mount Plate – Snap the optional surface mount plate in half and secure it to the back of the unit using the provided screws so that the mounting holes extend past the edges of the case

TalkMaster™ LE Software is a Windows® application used to configure and manage Digital Acoustics IP7™ and ii3™ Intercoms and Paging endpoints. Primary functions include user controls for inbound/outbound calls and paging. An integrated configuration utility is also included to set Options and IP Addresses for individual endpoints.

Prepare for Intercom Configuration • Refer to the previous section to power up and connect the

IP7 series device to the network.

• Record the unique ID# from the bottom of the Intercom (or Paging) endpoint(s) and note the location where it will be installed

• Install the TalkMaster Software using the Digital Acoustics’ Software CD, or online at www.digitalacoustics.com

i Please refer to the TalkMaster User Guide on the

TALKMASTER SOFTWARE CD for additional information on installation and software setup

10

Configure the devices

• Start TalkMaster and click menu option Admin Enable Admin

• Enter the default password

admin • To verify the latest version is

being used optional click

Admin Check for new versions online

• Click menu option Admin Configure Intercoms

A new screen is displayed while TalkMaster searches the network for about 15 seconds. TalkMaster will display a list of all ii3 and IP7 devices on the current network segment

• Click on the Intercom to be configured (the “Icom ID” column will match to the Intercom’s ID# previously recorded)

11

• Check the Assign

IP automatically with DHCP box, or uncheck it to assign the device a static IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway

• Enter a descriptive name for the Intercom into the Location Name field. This name should be unique to help easily identify the Intercom or Paging endpoint

• Enter the IP Address of the PC running TalkMaster that the Intercom will connect to by checking the Assign this PC address as client’s server box or uncheck it to enter a different PC’s IP address in Server IP, and Click Apply. Repeat for each Intercom

• To review all changes, press Search again

Additional IP7 Configuration options

Input Source (IP7 series only) • Microphone – Assigns a Microphone as audio source • Line In -Assigns Line In connector as audio source

Remote Listen Disable - Used for Paging endpoints to disable Taskmaster’s™ Listen button operation

Call Button - Changes the default action of the Intercom’s Talk switch. Pressing Talk sends a Call Announcement signal to TalkMaster, instead of the Intercom user’s voice

Relay Options • Door Open - adds a software button to TalkMaster™ to

activate the Relay to operate an electronic door strike • PTT - Activates the Relay during station ‘Talk’ • Activate on Speaker and/or Mic - activates the Relay

while the audio channel is active in TalkMaster™ Sensor Options

• Active Closed when J3-5 is closed to ground • Active Open when J3-5 is open to ground

13

Using TalkMaster LE

• Intercom (and paging) endpoints will automatically appear in the main display listing of TalkMaster (active on the computer specified in Server IP)

• The PC microphone is used to send audio to an

intercom. The audio from an intercom can be heard on the PC’s speakers

• To call an Intercom, select it by clicking in the display listing

14

• Click and hold the Talk button, or press and hold the Space Bar to speak to the Intercom

• Release the Talk button or Space Bar to listen

• Click the Listen button,

or press the Escape key to end the call

• Pressing the Intercom’s Talk button will sound an audible alarm in TalkMaster to announce incoming calls

• All incoming calls will be listed in the Calls Waiting list.

A call is “in session” until removed from the Calls Waiting list by clicking the Listen button, or pressing the Escape key
