AlphaCom XE7 Audio Server with HD Voice

Highlights

  • Made to provide critical communication in any environment
  • Supports 552 IP stations and 36 analog intercom stations
  • SIM card based software configuration and disaster recovery
  • Fully compatible with any AlphaCom system

Mounting & Dimensions

The cabinet can be wall or shelf mounted or mounted in a 19” rack. It has room for installation of one AMC-IP processor board and up to 6 feature boards. The server also includes a power board and a cooling fan.

Power

The server is normally powered from the mains via a 24VAC transformer. Battery backup power can be connected to the 24VDC input plug.

Network

Two RJ-45 Ethernet terminals are used for IP LAN, WAN, Internet and AlphaNet IP communication. Eth0 is also used for programming

Analogue Intercom Stations

All cables are terminated to connectors on the backplane. The two-pair star wired intercom cables and single-pair telephone cables are connected using pluggable screw connectors

Program Input

Connectors 5 and 6 on the first ASLT line board are enabled for program distribution. Additional programs can be connected by substituting line boards with AGA boards with 6 programs per board

Remote Control Input (RCI)

There are two inputs for clean contacts on the RCI connectors which can execute programmable functions.

Remote Control Outputs (RCO)

There are 12 RCOs that must be connected to optional MRBD relay boards, and can be programmed to execute functions such as door control.

Serial Ports

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

XE1 IP and serial connections


Serial Port 0

9-Pin D-sub (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 backplane to select between RS422 and RS485

Remote Control Inputs (RCI)

Connections

  • There are two inputs for clean contacts on the RCI connectors which can execute programmable functions.

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 XE7, the device address is 65-68, 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 XE7 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 ( ; )

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 procedure

Cold start to load default factory settings
  • Press the reset button on the power card 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 power card 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
