1 Unpacking the Components
Unpack the contents of the shipping crates and carefully
inspect for damage. Notify the freight carrier immediately
if any damage is noted. Check off all items as noted in the
packing lists.
Safety Tip
Use caution when lifting the system components. A fully
loaded ADAM Card Frame, for example, weighs approxi-
mately 75 lbs (34 kg).
2 Mounting the Central Matrix
Components
Bolt the ADAM Card Frame into the front of the equip-
ment rack. The frame has no special ventilation require-
ments, but make sure that the ventilation holes on the
front and back are unobstructed. The rack space behind
the ADAM Card Frame should be kept completely clear
to allow for connections and insertion and removal of
back cards. Allow at least 3 ft (1 m) in front of the rack
for insertion and removal of front cards and power sup-
plies. Note that there is an LED fail indicator and reset
switch located near the top-front of each front card. The
LED indicators are only visible when the center of the
card frame is at or above eye level.
Station Breakout Panels, Translation Panels and Jack-
fields are usually mounted in the back of the equipment
rack, and are generally arranged to allow intercom station
cabling to exit the frame at the top or bottom as required.
Optional UIO-256 Frames should be mounted in the front
of an equipment rack. When positioning a UIO-256, con-
sideration should be given to the visibility of the front
panel LED’s, which provide visual indication for any ac-
tive inputs and outputs.
Optional Program Assign Panels should be mounted in
the front of an equipment rack. Generally, a PAP should
be located slightly below eye height when sitting or stand-
ing to allow for viewing of the front panel indicators and
easy activation of the front panel controls.
3 ADAM Circuit Cards
3.1 Front Card Access
Loosen the two captive thumbscrews that secure the front
glass door, and swing the door down.
3.2 Card Removal and Installation
All ADAM circuit cards can be “hot installed”, which
means that you do not have to turn the power off before
installing or removing a card. This permits continuous op-
eration of the intercom system—with no interruptions to
unaffected ports—in the event of a card failure.
Read This Before Installing Circuit Cards!
The connector pins on the back plane inside the ADAM
frame can be easily damaged by improper or hurried inser-
tion of circuit cards. Always use the following procedure
when inserting cards.
1. Begin installation with the back card. Orient the card so
that the card edge connector is toward the bottom.
2. Insert the card edges into the upper and lower card
guides in the back of the ADAM frame. Push the
card in all the way until the card mounting plate is
flush with the ADAM frame.
3. Install mounting screws in the top and bottom of the
card plate to lock it in place.
4. When installing a front card, orient the card so that the
indicator LED and reset switch are at the top-front.
5. Insert the card edges into the upper and lower card
guides in the front of the ADAM frame.
6. SLOWLY push the front card straight into the slot until
initial resistance is felt.
7. When initial resistance is felt, apply slightly more pres-
sure to begin engaging the connector pins.
8. Once the connector pins have started to engage, press
VERY FIRMLY to completely seat the connectors.
When the card is properly seated, the card mounting
plate should be flush with the ADAM frame.
9. Mounting screws for the front cards are not required but
are recommended for mobile installations.
To remove a front card, press down on the lower ejector
lever and up on the upper ejector lever. Once the card is
released from the back plane connector, pull it straight out
of the frame.
To remove a back card, first release the front card by
pressing the ejector levers, then remove the back card.
Important
All system clock signals are derived from the Audio In-
put/Output Card in slot number 9, with clock backup pro-
ADAM Installation Manual 1

vided by the Audio Input/Output Card in slot number 8.
Therefore, if your intercom system uses fewer than ten
Audio Input/Output Cards, make sure that slots 9 and 8 are
filled in any case. Also, never remove cards 9 and 8 at the
same time as the intercom system will cease to operate.
Note
When a front or back audio card is removed, the displays
on any keypanels connected to that card will display aster-
isks instead of the normal key assignments. After a card is
reinstalled, it may take a minute or two for the keypanel
displays to return to normal.
3.3 Unused Back Card Slots
To ensure proper air flow, each unused back card slot
should be fitted with a card blank (part number 9000-
7467-003) to cover the opening.
3.4 Master Controller Card DIP
Switches
As shipped from the factory,all master controller card DIP
switches are set to the “off” position for default operation.
These settings will be satisfactory for most applications. Op-
tional settings are summarized in Table 1, page 9. If any
changes are made to the settings, make sure that both the
main and backup controller cards are set the same.
4 Power Supply
Removal/Installation
Place the power switch on the front of the power supply
in the off (O) position before removal. Loosen the two
captive thumbscrews on the front of the supply, then
grasp the screws to pull the supply out.
To install a power supply, set the power switch on the
front of the supply to the off position. Push the power sup-
ply firmly into the slot in the ADAM frame so that the
connector seats, then tighten the captive screws.
5 AC Power Connection
1. Place the AC switches on the back panel of the ADAM
frame in the off (O) position.
2. Place the power supply on/off switch on the front of
each power supply in the off (O) position.
3. Connect AC power to both of the AC jacks on the back
of the ADAM Frame. Connecting both AC inputs will
assure continued operation of the ADAM Frame in
the event that one power supply fails. If desired, two
separate AC power phases may be connected. This
will protect not only against a power supply failure,
but also against a loss of power to one phase.
6 ADAM Frame Power-Up
Note
For proper power supply loading, at least two front cards
should be installed in the frame before turning on the
power supplies.
1. Place the AC switches on the back of the ADAM
Frame in the “on” position.
2. Place the ALARM OVERRIDE switch on the front
panel in the on position. The alarm should sound
while the power supplies are off.
3. Place the on/off switch on the front of each power sup-
ply in the “on” position. The POWER GOOD indica-
tors and all voltage indicators should light. The fans
should turn on. The alarm should shut off.
4. While the intercom system is initializing, the red LED
fail indicators will be lit on all circuit cards. Allow 15
to 30 seconds for all indicators to turn off.
7 Circuit Card Reset and Fail
Indication
Each front card is equipped with a reset button located
near the top-front of the card. Directly under the reset but-
ton is the red LED fail indicator. The LED indicator re-
mains off during normal operation. If the fail indicator
turns on, first attempt to restore normal operation by mo-
mentarily pressing the reset button. Allow 15 to 30 sec-
onds for reset. If the fail indicator does not turn off after
this time, replace the affected card.
8 Alarm Operation
If there is a power supply fault during operation, the audi-
ble alarm will sound and one or more indicator lights on
the affected power supply will turn off. To deactivate the
alarm, set the ALARM OVERRIDE switch to the off posi-
tion. Turn off the defective power supply, and repair or re-
place it as soon as possible to assure continued backup
protection in the event of another power supply failure.
2ADAM Installation Manual

Note
The power supply alarm will also sound if a power supply
is turned off. This is normal. Either turn on the power sup-
ply, or turn off the ALARM OVERRIDE switch.
9 Connections to the ADAM
Card Frame
An ADAM Intercom System can be setup in a variety of
configurations to meet different user requirements. Sev-
eral common variations are illustrated in the system draw-
ings numbered ADAM-101 through ADAM 108 on pages
19 through 26.
9.1 Configuration Computer
Connection and Check
1. Use an RS-232 serial cable to connect from J1 of the
XCP-ADAM-MC Breakout Panel to COM1 or
COM2 of the configuration PC. For cable wiring de-
tails, refer to the ADAM-807 installation drawing on
page 34.
2. Insert the CSedit software disk into the computer, type
“install” and press ENTER. Follow the instructions
to load CSedit onto the PC. Note that CSedit cannot
be run under Windows. It can only be run under
DOS. Also, the computer should have at least 2M of
extended memory (4M preferable).
3. To run CSedit, change to the drive and directory where
you installed CSedit. Type “csedit”, then press ENTER.
4. If the link between the computer and intercom system is
functioning correctly, the current intercom system
configuration should upload (even if nothing has yet
been programmed) and “Mode On-line” should ap-
pear at the lower-right of the computer screen. If not,
check the cable wiring and the connection between
the computer and the intercom system.
Note
By default, the CSedit configuration program uses COM1
and 9600 baud for communication between the computer
and intercom system. COM2 and/or 38.4 kbaud are select-
able as options in CSedit. (Select “Communications"
from the Options menu.) When operating at 38.4K baud,
DIP switch number 1 must be set to the “on” position on
both the main and backup master controller cards in the
ADAM frame. (See Table 1, page 9.)
Operation at 38.4 kbaud will permit faster downloads and
uploads, but the computer cable length should be kept under
10 ft (3 m). Note that some PC’s cannot operate reliably
at the higher baud rate.
9.2 Program Assign Panel (PAP)
Installation
9.2.1 General
Up to four PAP’s can be connected to the intercom sys-
tem. Each PAP has internal DIP switches to assign it as
panel number 1 through 4, and to select either a low or
high IFB range. As supplied, PAP’s expect all program
sources to be connected to sequential intercom ports of
the intercom system starting with port #1. The options
and default settings for PAP’s are summarized below:
The intercom port addresses for program input, as well as
the low and high ranges for IFB output, are stored in
EPROM memory in the PAP. In some cases, it may be de-
sirable to control program sources and IFB ranges other
than those allowed by the defaults. In such cases, new cus-
tom EPROM’s can be programmed as needed. Contact
your intercom system dealer for further information.
9.2.2 Connecting a Single PAP
Connect a single PAP to J3 of the Master Controller
Breakout Panel as shown in the ADAM-101 through
ADAM 108 interconnect diagrams. Use an RS-485 data
cable wired as shown in the ADAM-809 installation draw-
ing, page 36. Connect power to the AC mains connector.
9.2.3 Connecting Additional PAP’s
1. Connect any additional PAP’s by wiring them in paral-
lel with the first PAP. Use a punch block or similar
connector system.
2. Change the panel number DIP switches in all but one of
the PAP’s. To do this, remove the covers from the
PAP’s and locate the 8-position DIP switch block on
the PMC-15 circuit board. By default, all PAP’s are
supplied with DIP switches #1 and #2 set for panel

ADAM Installation Manual 3

number 1. Reset the switches, as shown in Table 5,
page 11, so that each PAP has a unique panel number.
3. By default, all PAP’s are supplied with the lower of two
ranges of IFB’s selected. For example, a PAP-952 is
set by default to work with IFB numbers 1 to 24. If a
second PAP-952 is connected, it can be reset to work
with IFB numbers 25 to 48 if desired. To select the
low or high range, set DIP switch number 3 as shown
in Table 6, page 11.
Note
DIP switches 4-8 in PAP’s are not used and their posi-
tions do not matter.
9.2.4 Programming IFB Defaults to
Initialize PAP’s
Before a PAP can reassign program inputs, a default con-
figuration for each IFB must first be setup using CSedit.
See “Creating an IFB” in Section 2 of the CSedit User
Manual. Note that it is not necessary to have any program
sources or output stations connected to setup the IFB’s.
9.2.5 Checking PAP Operation
Status of a single PAP can be checked by selecting “PAP”
from the Status menu in CSedit. When multiple PAP’s are
connected, it is only possible to verify the status of the
lowest-numbered PAP using the PAP status feature of
CSedit. An operational check of the additional PAP’s can
be deferred until intercom stations and program sources
are connected.
Alternatively, it is possible to check PAP operation using
the Force and Inhibit feature of CSedit. (See “System,
Force and Inhibit” in Section 3 of the CSedit User Man-
ual.) When you select “Force and Inhibit” from the Sys-
tem menu in CSedit, a port pick list will be presented.
Select one of the IFB output ports. A "Connecting Ports"
table for that port will be presented. As program sources
are reassigned on the PAP front panel, the changes can be
viewed in the table by pressing the ENTER key. As each
new program source is connected, a check mark will ap-
pear next to that port in the table.
9.2.6 Connecting Program Sources
for use by PAP’s
Program sources are connected like any other intercom
audio input. See “Intercom Port Connections”, page 5.
9.3 UIO-256 Input/Output Frame
9.3.1 Connecting One UIO-256 Frame
1. Connect a single UIO-256 to J3 of the Master Control-
ler Breakout Panel as shown in the ADAM-101
through ADAM 108 interconnect diagrams. Use an
RS-485 data cable wired as shown in the ADAM-809
installation drawing, page 36. If a PAP is also being
used, it may be wired to the same connector. Alterna-
tively, use a punch block or other connector system.
2. Set the SW-1 DIP switches on the back of the UIO-256
to select range 1-16 as shown in Table 7, page 12.
The SW2 DIP switches are not used, and their posi-
tions do not matter.
3. Connect relay outputs to external devices using the re-
lay outputs connector, J5. The J5 connector pin-out is
shown in Table 8, page 12.
4. Connect input devices using the opto-isolator connector,
J7. The connector pin-out is shown in Table 9, page
12.
5. Connect AC power.
9.3.2 Connecting Additional UIO-256
Frames
1. Up to three additional UIO-256 frames may be con-
nected in a ring configuration using the 15-pin ribbon
cables provided. Connect the J4 output of the first
UIO-256 to the J3 input of the second UIO-256; con-
nect the J4 output of the second UIO-256 to the J3 in-
put of the third UIO-256 and so forth. Connect the J4
output of the last UIO-256 back to the J3 input of the
first UIO-256 to complete the ring.
2. Set the SW1 DIP switches on each UIO-256 to select
a unique panel number as summarized in Table 7,
page 12.
3. Connect opto-isolator outputs and relay inputs as for the
first UIO-256.
9.3.3 Programming the UIO-256
Each opto-isolator input is assignable in the Digital Input As-
signments table of CSedit. (See “System,Digital Inputs” in
Section 3 of the CSedit User Manual.) The Digital Inputs
Assignment table basically lets you simulate a key on a
key panel at a particular intercom port, regardless of
whether or not there is an actual keypanel connected to
that port.
4ADAM Installation Manual

Once an input has been assigned to a key, it is then neces-
sary to define a device to be activated by that key. This is
accomplished in the keypanel edit screen for the port to
which the digital input was assigned. (See “Key Panel
Setup: Key Assignments and Key Restrictions” in the
CSedit User Manual.)
The UIO-256 relay outputs are programmed using the re-
lay edit screens in CSedit. See “Using Relays” in the
CSedit User Manual.
9.4 Connecting to a Trunking Master
Controller
1. Connect from J2 of the Master Controller Breakout
Panel to any available data port of the trunking sys-
tem. Use an RS-485 data cable wired as shown in the
ADAM-808 installation drawing on page 35.
Note
To use the same PC for configuration of both the ADAM
system and the Trunking Controller, either use an RS232
switching box, or use separate COM ports on the PC.
(CSedit and CStrunk only recognize COM1 and COM2.)
2. Interconnect one or more intercom audio ports between
the intercom systems. These ports will be used for
trunking communication only. See the ADAM-810
drawing, page 37, for wiring diagrams of the special
intercom cables required for trunking audio intercon-
nect.
Note
The number of intercom ports that are interconnected
should be based on the number of persons that need to
communicate with other intercom systems, and on the
amount of intercommunication that will normally occur.
The trunking system will automatically allocate the inter-
connected lines to personnel as needed, but if frequent
busy signals are encountered during normal use, it may be
necessary to allocate more trunk lines. Also remember
that it is not always necessary to interconnect two inter-
com systems if they are both connected to a third inter-
com system. The trunking system can create a
communication path by “cascading” through the third in-
tercom system. However, this type of communication can
tie up two or more trunk lines, and could create more
busy signals for other users.
3. Within each intercom system, run the CSedit intercom
configuration software. Turn on all restrictions for
each intercom port that is being used as a trunk line.
See “Key Panel Setup: Port Information" in Section 2
of the CSedit User Manual.
4. Also using CSedit within each intercom system, remove
scroll restrictions for each intercom port, party line
etc. that will be made available for key assignment in
other intercom systems. For keypanels, belt packs
etc. that are connected to individual intercom ports,
this is accomplished using the same setup screen that
you used in step 3 to restrict trunking ports. For party
lines, IFB’s etc. refer to the numbered step regarding
restrictions under “Creating a Party Line”, “Creating
an IFB” etc. in Section 2 of the CSedit User Manual.
5. Run the CStrunk Trunking Configuration Software, and
configure the trunking system as described in Section
2 of the CStrunk User Manual.
6. Within each intercom system, assign keypanel keys as
required to communicate with destinations in other in-
tercom systems. See"Key Panel Setup" in Section 2
of the CSedit User Manual.
10 Intercom Port Connections
10.1 General Information
Typically, devices are connected to individual intercom
ports using Station Breakout Panels as shown in the
ADAM-101 through ADAM-108 drawings. Depending
on the type of breakout panels being used, the individual
intercom stations will utilize either RJ-11 modular style
intercom cables, or 9-pin D-sub cables. Wiring diagrams
for both are shown in the ADAM-810 drawing, page 37.
Each intercom port supplies two pins for audio input, two
for audio output, and two for data. All audio connections
are balanced, dry lines. All audio inputs and outputs are
set for unity gain by default: whatever level is applied at
an input will be supplied at the output. Input and output
levels may be adjusted for individual ports if required.
This may be accomplished either from CSedit or from in-
dividual keypanels.
Various types of intercom stations are generally con-
nected to the intercom ports, but other types of audio de-
vices could also be connected. For example, a program
source could be connected to the audio input for an inter-
com port, and in this case the audio output and data pins
are not used.
The data wires for an intercom port are used to send and
receive control information between the connected device
and the ADAM master controller. The data wires are only
used by keypanels, by the TIF-951 Telephone Interface,
and by the CDP-950 Camera Delegate Panel. The type of
data transmitted includes key pressed information and dis-
play information. For example, when a key is pressed on
a keypanel, this information is sent on the data wires to
the ADAM frame. The controller in the ADAM frame
ADAM Installation Manual 5

then makes the necessary talk and listen connections so
that a conversation can take place. It also sends data to the
device being called; for example, to display the caller’s
name at a keypanel, or to activate a telephone line at a
TIF-951 Telephone Interface etc.
10.2 Logical Keypanel Numbers
Even though separate data pins are provided for each in-
tercom port, these pins do not actually represent a unique
data port. Rather, groups of intercom ports share a com-
mon data port. In an ADAM intercom system, data
groups consist of 8 intercom ports, and each Audio In-
put/Output Card represents 1 data group. To distinguish
between devices connected to the same data group, a
“Logical Keypanel Number” is assigned to each device at
the time of connection. The relationship between inter-
com port numbers, Audio I/O Cards and Logical Key-
panel Numbers is shown in Table 2, page 10. Specific
information about setting Logical Keypanel Numbers is
discussed in the installation notes on the following pages.
10.3 General Procedure for Connecting
Devices to Intercom Ports
The following is a suggested method for planning the in-
tercom system and connecting devices to intercom ports:
1. Make a copy of the Intercom System Planning Work-
sheet, starting on page 13. (Or, create your own cus-
tom tables using your favorite spreadsheet or
database program.)
2. For each device that will be connected, fill in a row in
the worksheet.
•Briefly note the device type (keypanel, belt pack, TIF-
951, program source, CDP-950 etc.). Other useful in-
formation might include the device location and
usage, as well as any labeling on the intercom cable.
•Write down a name of up to four characters in the
“CSedit Alpha” column of the worksheet. You will en-
ter this name into the intercom system later using
CSedit. Then, whenever you assign the port to an in-
tercom key, the name will appear in the keypanel dis-
play for that key.
•If the intercom system is trunked (interconnected) to
another intercom system, a second name may be re-
corded in the “CSedit Alias” column of the work-
sheet if desired. This name will also be entered using
CSedit. An alias may be useful, for example, to pre-
vent conflicts when the same alpha name is already
being used in both intercom systems. When the inter-
com port is assigned to a keypanel key in the external
intercom system, the alias name, and not the alpha
name will appear in the display above that key. If you
do not enter an alias name, CSedit will automatically
use the alpha name as the default.
3. Connect devices to the intercom ports as noted in the
worksheet. Refer to any installation notes included
below for the type of device being connected.
4. Run CSedit, and enter the CSedit Alpha and Alias
names as listed in the worksheet. (See “Assigning
Names” in Section 2 of the CSedit User Manual.)
5. Complete the intercom system configuration as de-
scribed in Section 2 of the CSedit User Manual.
10.4 KP-9X Keypanel Installation Notes
•KP-95/96/97 Keypanels all use the same basic instal-
lation procedure. Refer to Section 1 of the KP-
95/96/97 Installation Instructions Manual.
•The KP98-7 Keypanel uses slightly different DIP
switch settings than other KP-9X series keypanels.
Refer to Section 1 of the KP98-7 Installation Instruc-
tions Manual for details.
Important!
Always reset a KP-9X keypanel after changing any of the
rear panel DIP switch settings. Do this by momentarily
turning off the AC power to the keypanel.
10.5 KP-12 Keypanel Installation Notes
•Use either FRAME connector (but not both) on the
back of the keypanel to connect to an intercom port
at a Station Breakout Panel.
•To connect an expansion panel, use the cable sup-
plied with the expansion panel. Connect from the EX-
PANSION connector of the KP-12 to either
CONTROL connector on the expansion panel. The
remaining CONTROL connector may be used to con-
nect a second expansion panel.
•Plug in the AC power cords for the KP-12 and any
connected expansion panels, and turn on power.
•When the KP-12 is connected and turned on for the
first time, the call waiting window will display “SET
ADDR”. Click the SELECT control (press and im-
mediately release). “ADDR 1" should appear in the
call waiting window (logical keypanel address
number 1). Rotate the SELECT control to display
the correct logical keypanel address number, then
click SELECT again. After a few moments the alpha-
6ADAM Installation Manual

numeric displays should change from asterisks
(****) to dashes (----).
•When the KP-12’s keypanel address is initially set, it
is automatically saved. Unlike KP-9X series key-
panels, no power-off reset is required. To change the
intercom port number at a later time, see “Service
Menu” in the KP-12 User Manual.
•Refer to the KP-12 User Manual for complete user in-
formation.
10.6 Program Source Notes
External audio program sources can be connected to inter-
com inputs, but all sources must be balanced and DC iso-
lated. The audio output and data pins for the port are not
used. Nominal input level is +8 dBu.
Note
If program inputs will be assigned using a Program As-
sign Panel (PAP) they must be connected to specific ports
of the intercom system. See “Program Assign Panel Instal-
lation”, page 3.
10.7 TIF-951 Telephone Interface
Installation Notes
•Connect one or two phone lines to the modular phone
jacks labeled “LINE”on the back of the TIF-951. A
second modular jack labeled “INST” is also provided
for each phone line. It may be used to connect a tele-
phone or other device along with the TIF-951.
•For each connected phone line, connect from the DE-9S
connectors (labeled “INTCM FRAME”) on the back of
the TIF-951 to an intercom port at a station breakout
panel. Use a 9-pin intercom cable for connection to 9-
pin breakout panels. If the station breakout panel has RJ-
11 connectors, use one of the DE-9 to RJ-11 adapters
that are provided with the TIF-951. Or, a cable may be
constructed as shown in the ADAM-810 drawing on
page 37.
•For each intercom port used by the TIF-951, set the
Logical Keypanel Number DIP switches on the back
of the TIF-951 as summarized in Table 3, page 11.
Note that the address for a TIF is set just like a KP-9X
series keypanel. For all other TIF-951 DIP switch set-
tings, refer to the TIF-951 User Manual.
Important!
Do not use the address DIP switch settings as shown in
the TIF-951 User Manual, as those address settings are
only appropriate for a CS9000 Series Intercom System.
10.8 CDP-950 Camera Delegate Panel
Installation Notes
10.8.1 CDP-950 General Description
The CDP-950 provides a means of quickly and easily as-
signing camera intercoms to any of 4 party lines. It lets
camera controllers reconfigure camera party lines without
having to run the CSedit configuration program. In an
ADAM intercom system, up to eight camera intercoms
can be controlled from the CDP-950.
10.8.2 CDP-950 Theory of Operation
The CDP-950 connects to the data port for an intercom
group by connecting it to the data pins for any port in the
group. It can either be connected along with an intercom
station, or it can be connected to a port by itself. Once
connected, the CDP-950 controls all 8 ports in the group.
Or, it can be set to control less than 8 ports, leaving the
remaining ports free to be used by other data devices.
For each port, the CDP-950 provides the equivalent of 4
keypanel keys. The keys are arranged in a column, and
are labeled “PL1" through ”PL4". There are 10 columns
of keys, labeled “CAM 1" through ”CAM 10", but col-
umns 9 and 10 are not used in ADAM intercom systems.
Once the CDP-950 has been connected, and the range of
intercom stations that it will control has been set, the front
panel keys may be assigned like any other keypanel keys.
Since the CDP-950 is primarily intended for assigning
camera intercoms to various party lines, the keys are gen-
erally assigned to party lines, but they don’t have to be.
For example, a key could be assigned to talk to a specific
person if desired. Unlike most keypanels, which typically
have a separate talk and listen key for each assignment,
the CDP-950 has only one key which activates both the
talk and listen assignment. When a key is activated, the in-
tercom station which is connected to the audio lines for
the corresponding port can talk and/or listen to the se-
lected destination.
During normal operation, all 4 keys for a port may be acti-
vated simultaneously if desired. However, during critical
communications, it may be desirable to temporarily dis-
able all non-essential communications. The CDP-950 has
an “isolate” option which permits this. This option is se-
lectable via an internal DIP switch. When the “isolate” op-
tion is activated, the PL4 keys function as “ISO” keys.
ADAM Installation Manual 7

Pressing a PL4 key will activate its talk/listen assignment,
and at the same time, it will disable the PL1 through PL3
keys directly above it. When the ISO key is turned off,
the previous state of the other three keys will be restored.
This ISO feature is selectable using an internal DIP
switch in the CDP-950.
The following procedures describe the installation and
programming of the CDP-950 for use in an ADAM inter-
com system:
10.8.3 Installing the CDP-950
1. Before installing the CDP-950, remove the top cover
and set the internal DIP switches.
•DIP switch #1: Normal / ISO select
Closed: normal operation
Open: ISO operation
•DIP switch #2: Baud rate select
Closed: 9600 baud
Open: 76,800 baud (do not use for ADAM)
•DIP switch #3: Not used (position does not matter)
•DIP switches 4 thru 8: Intercom range select
(see Table 4, page 11 for settings.)
2. Connect the CDP-950 to the data pins for any one of the
intercom ports that will be controlled. Several possi-
ble cable wiring diagrams are shown in the ADAM-
811 drawing, page 38.
3. Connect belt packs, camera intercoms etc. to the audio
input and output pins of each intercom port control-
led by the CDP-950.
10.8.4 Programming the CDP-950
Run the CSedit program and assign the CDP-950 keys
just as you would normal keypanel keys. (See “Key Panel
Setup and Trunking Port Allocation” in Section 2 of the
CSedit User Manual.) For each intercom port, the PL1
through PL4 keys on the CDP-950 correspond to keys 12
through 15 in the CSedit key assignment table. Note:
when a key is activated, both the talk and listen assign-
ment for that key will activate.

Notes
1. Always set the DIP switches the same on both the main and backup controller cards.
2 The default setting of 9600 baud is compatible with the default setting for the CSedit configuration
software. Alternatively, 38.4 kbaud will provide faster uploads and downloads, but the cable from the
ADAM Frame to the PC must be kept to a length less than 10 ft (3m), and some older PC's may not
operate reliably at this speed.
3. Normally, when a call is received by a keypanel, the keypanel checks for a talk key assigned to the
caller. If there is a talk key assigned, the display above that key will flash. If no key is assigned, the
caller's name will appear in the Incoming Messages window. Some intercom systems may have
many keypanels that do not have alpha-numeric talk key displays. In this case, it may be preferable
to have all callers names appear in the Incoming Messages window.
4. The in-use flash is indicated by a slow and continuous flashing display above a keypanel talk key. It
is provided for IFB's, ISO's and trunk lines. It occurs, for example, on all keypanels that have keys
assigned to a particular IFB when that IFB is in-use by any keypanel. The displays will continue to
flash until the IFB is no longer in-use. Any user could activate their talk key to talk to the IFB while
the display is flashing, but they may interrupt a conversation that is in progress.
The busy flash is indicated by a display that alternates between the normal key assignment and a
double asterisk (**) when the talk key is pressed. A "busy" flash occurs when a keypanel tries to
talk to an IFB or trunk line that is currently in-use by another keypanel that has a higher IFB or
trunking priority. When a busy flash is indicated, the user cannot talk to the destination assigned to
the talk key.
While some people may find the in-use and busy indications helpful, the option to disable them is
provided because some may object to the alternating display.
5. 38.4K baud is the normal data rate for communication with a local trunk master. 9600 baud may be
selected when the intercom system is connected to a remote trunk master over some form of
long-distance connection (modems, partial T1, etc.). However, expect large response delays when
using 9600 baud. If this is not acceptable, other methods of connection using additional equipment
may be required.
6. The primary frame is the one which is connected to the system configuration computer, trunk
master, UIO-256's, PAP's, etc. When a single ADAM frame is used alone, it must be set as the
primary frame. When several ADAM frames are interconnected using bus expanders, one of the
frames must be set as the primary frame, and all other frames must be set as secondary frames.
7. Set to "On" only for Altera chip versions 4.1 and higher. Provides enhanced error correction for the
bus clock. Leave in "Off" position for Altera versions below 4.1.
