CHAPTER 1 Overview The IP-223 Remote Adapter Panel provides a reliable means of remotely controlling two (2) audio devices. The adapter has multiple modes allowing it to connect to both digital and analog consoles, and performs a variety of other tasks related to putting radios on a digital network. The IP-223 is interconnected to the distant remote control console(s) by means of any available WAN (Wide Area Network) or LAN (Local Area Network) connection.
Overview Console Mode – Allows the use of existing tone-based consoles. The IP-223 decodes industry standard tones, converts it to Ethernet traffic to another IP-223 that can be in tone or local mode. FIGURE 77. Console Mode Connection Phone Mode – Using a PIB (Phone Interface Box) or TDI (Telephone Dispatch Interface), a line on the IP223 is used to connect to an analog phone line. iDen Radio Mode – Using the NI-223, allows interface with a Falcon Class PTT (Push-To-Talk) mobile phone system.
Operating Modes NOTE: Transient protection is provided near all audio inputs and outputs. The IP-223 line transformers are not designed to operate on lines carrying DC (direct current). If a voltage is on the line, isolate with external capacitors. If the line termination must conduct direct current, install a 600:600 Ohm transformer designed for the current involved.
Overview IP-223 Specifications The specifications for the IP-223 are listed in Table 1. The specifications are subject to change without notice. CAUTION: This device is NOT PoE (Power Over Ethernet) compatible. TABLE 1.

Overview 22
CHAPTER 2 Communications System Design Designing an IP-223 system requires an understanding of the radio network and how the various radios and communication equipment are connected. The first step in designing an IP-223 system is to create a roadmap of the radio, console, and any other communication equipment locations. This roadmap must include the following: • • • Multicast addresses for each channel of TX (transmit) and RX (receive) communication.
Communications System Design NOTE: When using Cisco technology, IP PIM dense mode is generally recommended. Generally speaking, sparsedense-mode can also be implemented effectively. We recommend explicitly joining the multicast group with an IP IGMP static-join X.X.X.X command. For more information on Cisco and IGMP, visit www.cisco.com Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) IGMP can be used to control where multicast is allowed to propagate.
CHAPTER 3 Installation and Level Settings Local/Radio Connections NOTE: Connections to radios differ from connections for remote operation; therefore connections are discussed separately. Jumper Positions An example of the jumper positions are shown in Figure 82. In the figure, jumper 14 (J14) is shown in position A, jumper 3 (J3) is shown in position B, and jumper 23 (J23) has been placed on the center pin indicating the jumper is in the NULL position. FIGURE 82.
Installation and Level Settings 3. Carefully slide the case top forward past the IC and LINE buttons, and then lift up to gain access to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as shown in Figure 83. Case top FIGURE 83. 26 PCB assembly IP-223 PCB Assembly 4. Locate the desired jumper on the PCB assembly and use needle nose pliers to adjust the jumper, if necessary. 5. Carefully lift up the case top and place it into position on the chassis bottom. 6.
Local/Radio Connections TX Audio Connection The IP-223 has a number of options when connecting to the radio. Different jumper settings are required for different revisions of the PCB installed in the IP-223 unit, and are noted below. Set the jumper position listed for the line according to the connection type shown below. If the radio transmit audio output is balanced, • connect to pins 13 and 25 of the DB25 connector. If the transmit audio is single ended, • NOTE: use pin 25 of the DB25 connector.
Installation and Level Settings Jumper Position Line 1 Line 2 Receive Input Impedance: J14 J24 8 ohms (for a speaker input) B B 600 ohm A A 10k ohm NULL NULL NOTE: When the speaker output is used, the radio volume control affects the audio levels of the IP-223.
Tone/Console Operation Digital I/O In addition to the two standard relay closures, seven (7) lines of digital I/O are also included. These lines are open-collector transistor outputs. They can be programmed on a per line basis to generate any of 128 combinations. They pull down to ground and can be jumper selected to pull up to either +5V or the power supply voltage (minimum +12V). Jumpers J8 (line 1) and J30 (line 2) are used to select the pull up voltage.
Installation and Level Settings Jumper Position Line 1 Line 2 Consoles in Parallel: J17 J22 J10 J15 Output Impedance 1 B B B B 600 ohms 2 A B A B 1200 ohms 3 B A B A 1800 ohms 4 A A A A 2400 ohms Local PTT I/O The Local PTT I/O is used to generate TX Ethernet traffic on a local keyed system as opposed to the 2175Hz detection on a tone keyed system. The input is at DIG5; pin 23 of the DB25 connector. The TX condition is caused by an active low.
Level Adjustments General Alignment The IP-223 has a TX alignment tone and an RX alignment VU meter accessible from the front panel of the unit. • Press and hold the line button and then momentarily press the IC button twice to generate the 1kHz 0dB TX alignment tone on both lines. • Press and hold the line button and then momentarily press the IC button three times to display the RX VU meters.
