Introduction
The NPM200 is a Dante™/AES67-enabled PoE paging console that lets you make announcements and
send commands over the network to trigger functions. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, this
console can be easily connected to your network without the need for additional power cables, making
it the perfect solution for busy ofces and other professional environments. Featuring a user-friendly
interface and intuitive controls on a 3.5” touchscreen, the NPM200 allows you to easily manage audio
paging and messaging. You can create and transmit pre-recorded messages or use the console’s XLR
input to make announcements in real time.

RJ45 (Network, PoE)
Network connections
Ethernet (POE):
Used for connecting the NWP series in your Ethernet network with PoE (power over Ethernet). The NWP
series complies with the IEEE 802.3 af/at standard, which allows IP-based terminals to receive power, in
parallel to data, over the existing CAT-5 Ethernet infrastructure without the need to make any modi-
cations in it.
PoE integrates data and power on the same wires, it keeps the structured cabling safe and does not
interfere with concurrent network operation. PoE delivers 48v of DC power over unshielded twisted-pair
wiring for terminals consuming less than 13 watts of power.
The maximum output power is depending on the power delivered by the network infrastructure. In
case the network infrastructure is not capable of delivering sufcient power, use a PoE injector to the
NWP series.
While CAT5E network cable infrastructure is sufcient for handling the required bandwidth, it is recom-
mended to upgrade the network cabling to CAT6A or better cabling to achieve the best possible thermal
and power efciency throughout the system when drawing higher powers over PoE.
