IP-LCM Configuration (AlphaCom mode)

This article describes how to configure the IP-LCM Module when used with an AlphaCom server.

Basic configuration

The IP-LCM requires an IP Station License in the AlphaCom server in order to get registered.

To make a IP-LCM Module operational there are essentially four parameters to set in the web interface of the module. Log In to the module, go to Station Main > Main Settings, and:

1. Set Station Mode = "Use AlphaCom"
2. Configure the IP Settings (IP address) of the IP-LCM
3. Enter the AlphaCom IP-address
4. Enter Station Directory Number

The Directory Number must be defined in the AlphaCom Server using the AlphaPro configuration tool.

Inputs

The IP-LCM module has in total 14 inputs:

• 6 inputs on the The TKIS-2 module itself
• 8 inputs on the IP-LCM board

• The six inputs on the TKIS-2 module are triggered by connecting the Input to GND via a closed contact.
• Depending on switch settings the eight inputs on the IP-LCM board are triggerd either by a close contact (default), or by a DC voltage signal. See IP-LCM Connections for details.

Input actions are configured in the Event Handler of the AlphaCom server. Inputs will trigger the event 30 - Station Input or Station DAK key, and the Sub-Event is used to identify which input is being triggered.

• The 8 inputs of the IP-LCM module are triggering 30 - Station Input or Station DAK key, DAK/Input 18-25. See RCI configuration

Outputs

• The 8 relays must be mapped to RCO pins 17-24, see RCO - Remote Control Output
