About the IP Intercom Modules
The Extron MediaLink IPI 104 AAP and IPI 204 (four-button modules) and the IPI 101 AAP and
IPI 201 (one-button modules) are for use with the Extron two-way IP Intercom System.
The IP Intercom System helps with room-to-help desk or room-to-room communications within
a building, a group of buildings, or even greater distances as long as the intercoms are part of
the same network. It provides enhanced support using a standard local area or wide area IP
network.
For an IP Intercom System, each room requires an IPI 201 or IPI 204 intercom, or an MLC 226 IP
MediaLink Controller connected to an IPI 104 AAP or IPI 101 AAP.
NOTE: The IPI 201 and IPI 204 are stand-alone units that do not require a connection to a
MediaLink controller.
Connections between the IPI 101 AAP and IPI 104 AAP intercoms with MLC 226 IP and the
network are via existing standard network twisted pair cables.
NOTE:
The MLC 226 IP to which the IPI 100 Series intercoms are connected must have
been shipped after November 16, 2005 and also have firmware version 1.05 or later to
support the IPI. Examine the rear panel of the MLC 226 IP. If there is a second RJ-45
connector, labelled “Intercom” and an audio output (see
figure 3 on page 7), it is
capable of supporting an IP Intercom station.
