For convenience, all the MC-IP-116 terminations are connectorized.
Remote Stations connect via 4
pin 0.1” (2.54mm) Spring Cage Barrier
Strips. Connection for Power, is a barrel connector or Screw Terminal.
Paging Amplifier uses a RJ-45 Connector addition is as easy as plugging in
our PA-Buss Cat 6 cable.
Associated with each Station is a Status Indicator. The Station Indicators
shows the Technician which relay or relays are active. When an Indicator is
Off there is no activity with that Station. When an Indicator is On, that Station
is selected for Communication.
The MC-IP-16-L has a Status Indicator associated with each remote station
connector. A
6 pin 0.1” (2.54mm) Spring Cage Barrier Strip provides
separate connection for S/-, Call-In +/- and Light +/-.
The MC-IP-HOST is an Internet Protocol Control Module that does several
functions including monitor what devices are connected to the network, who
wants to talk to whom, who is talking to who, as well as programmed
properties and functional programming of each system device. If a device
fails or is removed from the system, the MC-IP-HOST puts that device out
of service until a new device with the same credential is installed. When a
new device appears the MC-IP-HOST automatically transfers all stored
settings to the new device to assure that it functions just like the unit that
was replaced. This makes field maintenance or repair a simple
“swap of the
box
” for service. The MC-IP-HOST uses a standard SD card to store system
programming and configurations. This information can be copied and stored
for backup and security. If a MC-IP-HOST is being replaced, the SD card
can be moved to the new MC-IP-HOST without the need to be
reprogrammed.
The system handles Call Routing, and Busy signaling. When a Connection
is established, the Operator is in full control of the Conversation.
Each MC-IP system requires an ethernet network switch to connect all of
the MC-IP system components. The Tech Works MC-IP-SW-16 and MC-
IP-SW-16-POE are Gigabit Ethernet LAN switches with 16 LAN ports. The
MC- IP is a dedicated network used only for Tech Works MC-IP system
communication. The MC-IP is connected to other IP products and networks
by router WAN ports to insure the best possible performance of all audio
communication. All of the MC-IP Switches are rack mountable
Static protection such as static bracelets MUST be used at all times when any of the
products are opened and vulnerable to electrostatic discharge.
