the requirement. One Genie System (Solo) can connect 120 Ethernet Beltpacks or 60 Repeaters to 6 Remote
Antennas. The 128 wireless Beltpacks connect to any Genie wireless device. The 70 Talk and unrestricted Listen
paths are available on wired or wireless devices. And the GCM (or GCMW, GCMV2, Genie Configuration Manager)
supports for an efficient and integrated management of the system by its easy setup of the configurations and
various monitoring functions with full visibility.
GCM: Wireless device + Ethernet Beltpack + 20 Channel Key Panel Configuration
GCMW: Wireless device + Ethernet Beltpack + 20 Channel Key Panel + WAN Link Configuration
GCMV2: Wireless device + Ethernet Beltpack + 128 Channel Key Panel + WAN Link Configuration
Genie is a Daisy-chain connection enabled system that allows Remote Antennas and Ethernet Beltpacks are
connected to the Base Station using a PoE transmitting both data and power. In view of system redundancy,
loopback can also be set by building a ring connection and other linking topologies such as a Star and Tree
connections are also available. These special features allow for the use of cat-5e STP cables to easily wire and
install complex systems with a minimal workload.

1.1 System overview
⚫Ethernet synchronization is applied between devices connected to the Ethernet, avoiding RF interference,
packet loss, delay, and jitter among all devices being connected to the Ethernet.
⚫The GCMV2 (Genie Configuration Manager-Version2) enables setting and pairing, as well as monitoring each
device's frequency data spectrum, links and battery status.
Base Station BS1000
⚫System configured by Base Station BS1000 + Remote Antenna RA100DW or RA100 + Ethernet Beltpack
IBP10 + Wireless Beltpack BP850 or BP851 + Repeater RBS85.
One Base Station (Genie Solo) offer up to 60 Genie devices (Ethernet Beltpacks, Remote Antennas, Repeaters)
and 128 wireless Beltpacks simultaneously. Up to six Remote Antennas (RA100DW, RA100) can be connected
to each Base Station. And, up to 128 wireless Beltpacks and, 10 Ethernet Beltpacks or Repeaters can be
connected to one Remote Antenna.
One Remote Antenna supports 10 Talk and 128 Listen paths. Even while multiple Talk channels of a device
such as Ethernet Beltpack are in active, it only occupies one Talk path. Thus, one Base Station with six Remote
Antennas offers up to 70 Talk paths for the wireless and Ethernet devices. However, for an instant, while the
Ethernet Beltpack is talking with two Base Stations simultaneously, it occupies two Talk paths.
⚫With the configuration of three Base Stations (Genie Trio), you can increase these audio paths.
