GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes the N-8000 Series Packet Intercom System's basic equipment
configurations (exchanges, stations and various interface units), component functions
and operations, and two types of conversation methods.

1-2
Chapter 1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The N-8000 Series is a packet intercom system (IP network compatible intercom) employing packet audio
technology*1. By connecting IP intercom exchanges (which can connect up to 16 stations per exchange), IP
stations, and various kinds of interface units to a network (LAN or WAN*2), an optimal system can be
constructed for in-house or wide area information communications such as duplex conversations between
stations, periodical broadcasts, and BGM broadcasts. Since up to 192 exchanges, IP stations, and various
kinds of interface units can be combined, systems of up to a total of 3072 stations can be realized. An echo
canceller*3and voice switch realize hands-free conversation (conversations made without using a handset at
both parties) between stations. Depending on conditions, full duplex (simultaneous two-way) conversation by
way of an echo canceller or half duplex (alternate two-way) conversation by way of a voice switch is made.
(Refer to p. 8-2, "Full Duplex and Half Duplex Conversations.")
In addition, The system's various interface units can be used to realize a host of functions, including contact
bridging by means of contact input and output control, contact external equipment control and timer-activated
fixed-time broadcasts, and connection to outside lines (central office lines). Further, the system supports two
different conversation methods and is capable of operating in master/master or master/sub configurations.
*1Technology related to audio transmission over a network
*2The fixed global IP address must be assigned to the units connected via the Internet.
*3A circuit that prevents acoustic feedback or echo generated when the voice output from the station's
internal speaker enters the microphone.
Warning
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case
the user may be required to take adequate measures.

1-3
Chapter 1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2. FEATURES
• Exchanges, IP stations, and various kinds of interface units can be connected over a data communications
network.
• Can be connected to an existing local area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN). The system can
also be easily connected to fiber-optic networks without restrictions on operating distance.
• The dedicated software program enables centralized control with a personal computer.
• System maintenance (verifying operation log and Line supervision) can also be performed with a personal
computer and Internet browser.
• 3 types of exchanges differ in the following points.
(1) 2-wire system
N-8000EX: Internal 4 links*, external 8 links*, with PA paging output
N-8010EX: Internal 1 link*, external 2 links*, without PA paging output
(2) 2-core shielded system
N-8000RS: External 2 links*
N-8010RS: External 1 link*
(3) 4-wire system
N-8400RS: External 2 links*
• 4 types of stations are available: 2-wire system, 2-core shielded system, 4-wire system and IP-type stations.
The first three stations must be connected to a corresponding system exchange to make operation possible,
while the IP station can be operated on its own without being connected to any exchange. (However, the
system configured only with IP door stations cannot be realized.)
(1) IP-type
(2) 2-wire system
(3) 2-core shielded system
(4) 4-wire system
• There are five types of interface units as shown below:
(1) Multi interface unit
(2) Audio interface unit
(3) Direct select unit
(4) C/O interface unit
(5) Telephone interface unit
• The Multi interface unit or Direct select unit can interlock with an electronic lock system or CCTV
surveillance system by way of contact input/output control function.
• Using IP stations permits a system having no exchange to be created. However, the system configured only
with IP door stations cannot be realized.
* Link is a speech path. The "internal 4 links" means that 4 simultaneous calls can be performed between the
stations connected to an exchange or 4 different broadcasts can be simultaneously made in a system. The
"external 8 links" means that 8 simultaneous calls can be made to the stations connected to other exchange
or to IP stations, or 8 different broadcasts can be simultaneously made to other exchange system.
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The Internet is not guaranteed quality. So, when this system is connected to the Internet, packet loss may
result if the network is congested, possibly causing voice communications to be interrupted or noise to be
generated.
