IP7-MZC-FD Application Guide
The IP7-MZC-FD Multi-Zone Controller
is a network audio endpoint that provides the ability for a
central station call center to to communicate with up to forty-eight zones of microphones and speakers
(full-duplex) through a single IP audio connection. It also includes the ability to add an analog telephone
that can be used for private audio conversations with the call center over the IP connection. Any
combination of microphone and/or speaker zones can be turned on and off by the call center operator
either through custom applications or via a SIP based phone system.
This Application Guide presents some of the ways customers can integrate the IP7-MZC-FD into their
Alarm Monitoring system (which may have additional information on each of the zones the IP7-MZC-FD
is monitoring).
IP7-MZC-FD Configuration Options
Using the TalkMaster FOCUS Administrator Console, select the
IP Endpoints → Configuration
tab.
The IP7-MZC-FD can be configured as a
TalkMaster Client
, a
SIP Client
or a hybrid
TalkMaster/SIP
client
. The
TalkMaster FOCUS .NET Console SDK
can be used to develop custom applications if the
IP7-MZC-FD is configured as a TalkMaster Client or hybrid TalkMaster/SIP client. DTMF commands
can be used to control it if configured as a SIP Client.
The IP7-MZC-FD supports up to 48 full duplex audio zones created by attaching 1 or more IP7-ZX4L
expansion boards (each IP7-ZX4L adds four speaker/microphone zones). The IP7-MZC-FD detects
the number of IP7-ZX4L’s attached at startup and calculates the number of available zones.
The IP7-MZC-FD includes:
● An onboard speaker and a switch to enable it (used for testing)
● An onboard microphone and a switch to enable it (used for testing)
● An RJ-11 connector for an analog telephone
Audio between the Call Center and the IP7-MZC-FD is always available to the onboard speaker and
microphone (if enabled by the switches) and to the analog telephone if it’s handset is taken off-hook. A
command must be received from the central station in order to turn on or off zones on the attached
IP7-ZX4L zone boards.
The IP7-ZX4L Expansion boards include:
● Four 1 watt speaker terminals
● Four analog speaker volume controls
● Four 12V powered Line Level Microphone terminals (2-wire or 3-wire)
● Four analog microphone sensitivity controls
