AlphaCom XE26 Audio Server with HD Voice

Highlights

  • Made to provide critical communication in any environment
  • Supports 552 IP stations and 138 analog intercom stations
  • SIM card based software configuration and disaster recovery
  • Fully compatible with any AlphaCom system

Variants

There are three standard cabinet models: 19” rack mounting, floor cabinet, and floor cabinet with distribution field:

Mounting AlphaCom XE26


Mounting & Dimensions

The cabinet has room for installation of 26 circuit boards in total: one AMC-IP processor board, one APC program & clock board, and up to 24 feature boards. The server also includes a mains power supply and a cooling fan.

Power

The exchange is powered from the mains.

Network

Two RJ-45 Ethernet terminals on the IP filter board are used for IP LAN and WAN communication

Analogue Intercom Stations

The two-pair star wired intercom cables are connected to connection boards on the cabinet DIN rail or in a separate distribution field

Program Input

6 program distribution sources can be connected to the APC board via an optional program connection board. Up to 64 extra programs may be added using AGA boards with 16 programs per board

Serial Ports

The serial ports with RS232 and RS422/RS485 interfaces are used for connecting to equipment using these protocols

AMC-IP-Connections.PNG


Serial Port 0

RJ45 (RS232 Only)

No additional settings necessary

Serial Port 1

RJ45 (RS232/422/485)

Additional settings:
RS232:
RS422/485:
  • Switch 8 on S601 on the AMC-IP board must be set to ON.
  • Use the two jumpers on the AMC-IP Filterboard to select between RS422 and RS485.

Remote Control Inputs (RCI)

Connections

The optional program connection board has input for 6 Remote Control Inputs (RCI) which can initiate programmed actions

RCI inputs in an AlphaCom XE20 and XE26


Configuration

In AlphaPro there is an RCI table, where the physical address of the input is entered, along with the desired actions. The physical address is given as device + pin-number.

The RCI table supports up to 140 inputs.

  • For internal RCIs in the AlphaCom XE1, the device address is 68, and the pin number is 1-6.
  • Internal pin number 8 is the temperature alarm
  • Mappings for the internal RCI's are autoloaded. Mappings for external RCI's (Slave modules, RIO's or IPARIO) must be manually programmed.
  RCI Type Device/Station physical Number Pin Number
AlphaCom XE26 Device 65-68 1 - 6

Example

Start fire alarm message and activate rotating lamp:

RCI Conf Example1.PNG


RCI Conf Example2.PNG


AMG 1 3 - Alarm Message 3 (8193) to group 1 (84)
RCO 5 ON – Turn on the relay that controls the lamp

AMG 1 0 – Alarm Message OFF to group 1 (84)
RCO 5 OFF – Turn off the lamp

Note: Multiple commands are separated by semicolon ( ; )

Remote Control Outputs (RCO)

Each subscriber line card provides 6 freely programmable Remote Control Outputs (RCO)

Device # of RCO's Comment Hardware required
AlphaCom XE26]] 138 6 RCOs per ASLT card or ATLB-12 card MRBD relay board + PDB Power Distribution Board

Factory Reset (coldstart)

Performing a cold start of the AMC-IP board will delete all previous programming, load factory default settings and set the IP-address to 169.254.1.5 with mask 255.255.0.0 on Eth0.

Cold start button on AMC-IP board


Cold start procedure

Cold start to load default factory settings
  • Press the reset button on the APC board briefly while keeping the cold start button pressed.
  • Keep the cold start button pressed at least 2 sec. after power on. The AMC status LED will blink green when the boot is ready.


Cold-start of AMC application only, keep IP setting

Cold-start of AMC application
  • Press the reset button on the APC board briefly.
  • After 10 seconds, press the cold start button on the AMC-IP board.
  • Keep the cold start button pressed until the AMC status LED is blinking green.


Modify Factory Default Settings

After cold start the system is set up with a default program and is working without any further programming. To change or add to the default settings, the AlphaPro programming tool must be used.

Other methods of factory default

A factory default can also be achieved in other ways:

  • From AlphaWeb: System Maintenance -> System Recovery -> Load Factory Defaults
  • From AlphaPro: Upload a default AlphaPro database to the exchange
