ELAN C2 Communication Controller Integration
The C2 Communication Controller integrates telephone and home automation features with
the M86A and provides Music On Hold (MOH), Paging, Door Chime and Relay Activation
features.
The audio from SOURCE INPUT # 1 of the M86A is used as the MOH input for the C2. The
C2 sends a VIANet message when a Page or Door Chime is initiated that causes the M86A
to mute any audio that is playing and pass the Page or Door Chime audio to the M86A’s
zones. The ELAN configuration software allows Page and Doorbell to be independently
enabled or disabled in each zone. Page and Doorbell volume can be set at different levels
from zone to zone and within the same zone. The C2’s relays are controlled by touchtone
telephones.
Make all C2 connections to phone lines, door stations and relay controlled devices as
shown in the C2 manual.
Connect the MUSIC ON HOLD OUTPUT of the M86A (MAIN chassis only) to the MUSIC ON
HOLD INPUT of the C2. Connect the PG/DB AUDIO OUTPUT of the C2 to the PG/DB INPUT
of the main M86A.
If multiple M86As are being integrated, connect an RCA cable from the PG/DB AUDIO
OUTPUT of the first M86A to the second M86A’s PG/DB AUDIO INPUT. Continue this
process to all chassis
Connect the VIANet Loop connections from the M86A to the VIANet connection of the C2.
