Amperes iPX5400 User manual

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
iPX5400
Ethernet Transceiver
Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.
Introducing another product for the convenience of installation when it is required to send audio / data from a distance
away. iPX5400 is a transceiver unit, which is able to operate in duplex mode ( paging ), works in pair in LAN environment
or connected directly via UTP cable or Fiber through a converter. It is a simple device allowing peer to peer communication
without the need to employ full IP solutions in your system.
Among applications includes :
- Sending audio from Guard House's paging mic to main system at a distance away through fiber link thus reducing the
risks of lightning surge
- Rack to rack audio / data transmission through existing LAN, thus avoiding the need to lay new cables
- Apply it with wireless AP for areas where laying of new cables are not feasible.

1. Connecting PD series paging mic to iPX5400
This is usually applied when it is required to install a paging microphone a distance away from the rack such as guard house,
remote office or at different building.
Audio ( line level output ) and RS485 output shall be connected to iPX5400 as per diagram below, and at the receiving end,
audio shall be fed to mixer and the RS485 data shall go to TD decoder for zone activation. In this mode, duplex operation is
allowed.
