AlphaCom XE1 Audio Server with HD Voice

Highlights

  • Made to provide critical communication in any environment
  • Supports 552 IP stations
  • Environmental friendly and energy saving - max. 4 W
  • SIM card based software configuration and disaster recovery
  • Fully compatible with any AlphaCom system

Connections


Power

The AlphaCom XE1 is powered from 90-240VAC via a 5VDC power adapter. The power adapter comes with the XE1 server.

Network

The XE1 server has two RJ-45 ethernet ports for IP communication. Ethernet port 0 (Eth 0) is by default configured as a Management port, allowing connection to the embedded web server (AlphaWeb) and connection of the PC configuration tool AlphaPro. Default IP addresses:

  • Eth0 has IP address 169.254.1.5
  • Eth1 has no IP address by default

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.
  • Take off the top lid to reach the jumpers inside, and set them to the correct position.
- RS485: Both jumpers in position 2-3 (default)
- RS422: Both jumpers in position 1-2
RS422/485 selector for Serial Port 1 in the XE1


Remote Control Inputs (RCI)

Connections

There are two inputs for clean contacts on the RCI connectors which can execute programmable functions. Note that the cabinet needs to be opened to get access to these connectors

RCI inputs in an AlphaCom XE1 (top lid removed)


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 65, and the pin number is 1-2.
  • Internal pin number 8 is the temperature alarm (not used in XE1).
  • 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 XE1 Device 65 1 - 2

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)

XE1 does not support any RCO's in the server itself. If remote control outputs are required, please use TKIS-2 kit or IP-ARIO.

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
  • Power up 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
  • Power up while keeping the cold start button pressed.
  • 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

Mounting & Dimensions

The cabinet should be mounted on a shelf or in a 19” rack. It contains one AMC-IP processor board only. The server includes a power board.
