Operation
The IPE2500A provides radio system control from a remote location. It sends tone control to the remote
adapter through a telephone line to control radio functions such as transmit, channel steering, and
monitor.
Receive audio from the radio system is sent to the desk sets via the same line connection in two-wire
applications, or by using another pair in four-wire applications.
The numeric keypad buttons are used for selection of different base station frequencies. These
frequencies are dependent upon your radio’s capabilities. Changes to system parameters require the use
of the CARD Suite Programming Software and the programming cable, which are sold separately.
Complete information is contained in the “CARD Suite Programming Software” section of this manual.
