Introduction
The RTS MCII-e System controller card is the third generation controller for the ADAM
Intercom System. Designed to replace the ADAM-MC, it adds a number of key features.
Adding Ethernet connectivity between the ADAM Intercom and the PC running AZedit,
the new controller can support up to 35 simultaneous AZedit sessions (32 using Ethernet
and up to 3 using serial ports). Using a pair of MCII-e controller cards will provide full
redundancy with seamless automatic change-over upon failure.
The speed of Ethernet, combined with expanded memory, allows the card to fully support
large matrices with reduced setup file download time.
As with all ADAM™ Intercom family products, the MCII-e card supports all standard,
hot-swappable, and configurable features through the AZedit configuration software. It is
fully compatible with existing ADAM systems and cards, including AIO-8, AIO-16, AES-
3, and RVON VOIP interfaces
*The New MCII-e System Controller card is only for use in the ADAM Matrix Intercom System and
cannot be intermixed with older ADAM master controllers in a given frame.
Features
Installation: The MCII-e System Controller card is hot-swappable and
installs into slots 19 or 20 in an ADAM™ Intercom System.
Trunk Capable: The MCII-e System Controller card supports ancillary data
control for use with Telex®Intelligent Trunking.
Ethernet Compatible: Fully Ethernet capable. The MCII-e provides a single RJ-45
connection for use with a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX compli-
ant and network. Each system controller has its own IP address
network access.
AZedit Configurations: The MCII-e can connect to AZedit via Ethernet or Serial (RS-
232) connections. Also, the new Intercom Sizing Wizard in
AZedit makes configuring the new system controller card eas-
ier than ever.

System Requirements
Before you configure your MCII-e System Controller card, verify the following items are
updated:
•AZedit v 2.08.01 or later
•AIO-8 v 10.3.4 or later
•AIO-16 v 1.0.0 or later
•Periph-IIe, requires DBX v1.14.0 or later
NOTE: Field upgrade of DBX will requires Boot Code upgrade to version 0.0.3. If the
Boot Code is not upgraded, the DBX card will not work with the MCII-e. Refer to DBX
Boot Code Upgrade (pn 38110-472.
Ethernet Setup for MCII-e System Controller
Set the IP Address for the MCII-e System Controller
NOTE: The PC must be running version 2.08.01 or later of AZedit and have an Ethernet
card installed. The MCII-e can support up to 32 concurrent sessions of AZedit on Ether-
net.
Verify the MCII-e is connected to the PC using a RS232 (ADAM standard) cable. Connect
J1 on the XCP-ADAM-MC to the COM port on the PC.
NOTE: For more information on Network Basics, see the Basic Networking Guide found
at our website (http://www.telex.com/Intercoms/files.nsf/sitemap#Brochures), under
Applications.
If there are two controllers, they must each have their own unique IP Addresses (different
from each other and any other devices sharing the same network).
To connect the Active MCII-e to the PC with a serial cable, do the following:
1. Open AZedit.
The Keypanels/Ports screen appears.
