Signal IP-224 DB-37 TK-XXXX Radio DB-25a
a. There are differences between the TK-x150 and TK-x180 radio’s DB-25 connectors:
• If COR is used, then pin 20 (TK-x150 an output only) is programmed for that
function and the cable routes that signal to the IP-224.
• On the TK-x180 the same pin is a general purpose I/O and has an additional 470
Ohm series resistance added. Therefore, the IP-224 internal pull-up voltage must be
removed. The Auto Configuration feature will adjust hardware settings accordingly.

7.0 IP-224 Setup
These configuration instructions use TSM (Telex System Manager) to configure the IP-224;
however the IP-224 can also be configured using web browser configuration windows. The TSM
application and manual can be downloaded at http://www.telex.com/us/dispatch/downloads or is
included on the product CD received with the IP-224
With the IP-224 attached to the network and powered up, login and read the settings from the
desired unit using TSM.
7.1 Setting for Auto Configuration
The General page is used to view basic information about the IP-224 and turn on or off the
Auto Configuration feature in the unit.
To configure the Auto Configuration, do the following:
1. From TSM, click the General tab.
The General page appears.
2. Select the Auto Configuration check box.

Kenwood Radio Series
14 F.01U.321.735
7.2 Multicast Configuration
The Multicast page is used to configure the Line Type, Serial Type, Multicast Addresses,
and Multicast Port numbers.
To configure Multicast settings, do the following:
1. From TSM, click the Multicast Setup tab.
The Multicast page appears.
2. Select the Enable check box for the lines you are configuring.
3. In the Line Name field, enter a name (up to 9 characters) for the line you are
configuring.
4. From the Line Type drop down menu, select Local Mode.
5. From the Serial Type drop down menu, select the appropriate Kenwood radio series
you are configuring.
6. Configure the correct Multicast Addresses and Multicast Port numbers to match
your system layout.

Kenwood Radio Series
F.01U.321.735 15
7.3 Hardware Configuration
The Hardware Setup page is used to configure the Line I/O connector. Because the Auto
Configuration is enabled on the General page, all I/O settings have been configured as
needed to control the Kenwood radio selected by the Serial Type drop down menu on the
Multicast Setup page.
NOTE: No additional steps are required on this page.

16 F.01U.321.735
7.4 Per Line Configuration
The Per Line Setup page is used to view Line Type and Serial Mode. The Configure
buttons allow entry to the individual line’s configuration page.

F.01U.321.735 17
7.4.1 Per Line Function Tone Configuration
The Function Tone page is used to enable function tones and configure what
System/Zone and Channel information should be serially sent to the radio.
To configure the Per Line Function Tone, do the following:
1. From TSM, click the Function Tone tab.
The Function Tone page appears.
2. Select the Enable check box for all channels to be accessed by the IP-224.
NOTE: Each page supports 10 channels. There are 100 pages to support 1000
channels.
3. Program the System and Channel information.
This information should correspond with the radio programming.
NOTE: The example shown indicates function tones 1 through 4 are mapped to
system 1 channels 1–4, function tones 5 through 8 are mapped to system 2
channels 1–4 and function tones 9–10 to system 3 channels 1–2, respectively.

18 F.01U.321.735
7.4.2 LAM/COR Configuration
The LAM/COR page is used to configure the COR and LAM (VOX) operation.
COR is the preferred method for generating RX packets, but when the radio is
configured for a trunking format and go-ahead tones need to be heard at dispatch,
LAM is the only alternative.
To configure COR or LAM settings, do the following:
1. Select the LAM/COR tab.
The LAM/COR page appears.
2. Select the COR Enabled check box.
OR
Select the LAM Enabled check box.
NOTE: Selecting both options creates an AND function, both COR and LAM would
need to be achieved before RX packets would be sent to IP Consoles.

Kenwood Radio Series
F.01U.321.735 19
7.4.3 Options Configuration
The Options page is used to configure the various options supported by the radio
type.
Freq Update w/PTT Check Box
If selected, the Freq Update w/PTT check box forces a channel change with each
PTT.
NOTE: Otherwise, channel changes occur only when the incoming channel is
different than the previous channel.
Full Duplex Check Box
If selected, the Full Duplex check box allows full-duplex (simultaneous TX and RX
transmission) audio.
NOTE: COR settings can affect Full-Duplex operation. Trunked radio systems with
go-ahead beeps typically require COR to be turned off.
Hi-Pass RX Check Box
If selected, the Hi-Pass RX check box enables a 300 Hz Hi-Pass filter for the RX
audio.
Monitor Enable Check Box
If selected, the Monitor Enable check box allows serial monitor commands to be
sent to the radio.
Pre-Emphasize TX Check Box
If selected, the Pre-emphasize TX check box enables a 6dB octave pre-emphasis
filter for the TX audio.
PTT Notch Filter Check Box
If selected, the PTT Notch Filter check box enables a PTT notch filter to filter the
PTT frequency from the RX audio.

Kenwood Radio Series
20 F.01U.321.735
Scan List
If selected, the Scan List check box indicates C-Soft’s scan list is synchronized with
the radio’s scan list.
NOTE: All models can be used in scan mode, but the TK-x90 does not pass the
active channel number back to the console.
7.5 Gain Configuration
The Gain Setup page is used to configure the input and output audio levels for line 1 and
line 2 I/O ports.
To configure the Gain, do the following:
1. Open TSM.
2. Click the Gain Setup tab.
The Per Line Gain Setup page appears.
3. Configure the RX Input Gain slider to 0dB for the line(s) to configure.
4. Configure the TX Output Gain slider to -25dB for the line(s) to configure.
NOTE: Fine tuning of these gain stages may be required once the system is deployed.
5. Record updated configuration to the IP-224.
