IP-Intercom Stations: Rear Panel
All rackmounted intercom stations have identi-
cal rear panel configurations with the exception of the
10-station intercom expander. This expansion unit has
only a Livewire jack, ID button and AC connector. The
rear panel of the 20-station panel is illustrated in Figure
1-4 and described in the following section.
Livewire (100 Base-T) Connector
This connector is for connection to an approved Eth-
ernet switch. It has two integral LEDs. The green “Link”
LED indicates the presence of a live signal (same as the
front panel “NET” LED). The “Activity” LED indicates
that Ethernet packets are being sent or received over the
link.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Axia IP-Intercom stations
are intended for use with an Ethernet Switch
that supports multicast and QOS (Quality of
Service). If you attempt to use them with non-
switched Ethernet hubs, or a switch that is not
enabled for multicast, you will experience net-
work congestion that could disrupt other net-
work activity. Information on qualified Ethernet
switches is found here: http://www.axiaaudio.

ID Button
This recessed switch allows you to assign an IP ad-
dress to a new unit. An IP address is required so you can
use your web browser to setup the advanced features of
the IP-Intercom panel. When the
ID button is pressed,
you are prompted to enter an IP address and subnet mask
from the front panel controls. Pressing this button also
triggers the IP-Intercom panel to identify itself and re-
quest an IP address from a BootP server on the Ethernet
network (more on this later).
Audio Input and Output Connectors
Line Level Analog Audio
All RJ-45 line-level input and output connections to
IP-Intercom stations are dual channel connectors. Each
pair of audio inputs on the Analog Line shares an 8-posi-
tion / 8-pin RJ-45 modular jack. The connector pin func-
tions are shown in the table that follows. Inputs are mono
- left channel only. Outputs are dual channel mono.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Axia recommends using
balanced audio for analog audio connections.
If unbalanced sources are to be connected to
these inputs, we strongly recommend using a
balun (transformer) or balanced-to-unbalanced
buffer amplifier at the source device. Such
devices are readily available, for example the
StudioHub “Match Jack”.
