1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides installation information for the Commander Digital Intercom
system. Cabling and pin-out information is included for all of the Trilogy manufactured
items plus some commonly used third party equipment. Other information relating to the
hardware configuration will be useful if the system is upgraded or expanded in the future.
•Section 2covers the matrix assembly and installation, to the point where the matrix
may be powered
•Section 3 covers all of the cabling necessary to complete the installation.
•Section 4 provides information on connecting multiple matrices to form a network.
•Section 5 gives wiring details for the range of Trilogy control panels.
•Section 6 explains the Commander re-programming software, which may be used to
update hardware.
•Section 7 provides information on installing other equipment (e.g. telephones, radio
talkback).
•Section 8 provides information about hardware which is no longer supplied by
Trilogy with new systems.
•Section 9 gives the system specification for matrix hardware, control panels and the
configuration computer.
For further assistance please contact Trilogy Communications Technical Support
Department at the address given at the front of this document. You may also contact us
by e-mail at:

1.1 OPTIONS AVAILABLE AND MODULE TYPE NUMBERS
Please contact our Sales Department for a listing of the current module types.
Due to the nature of talkback systems, any given installation may have some custom
items. Trilogy Communications prides itself on its ability to tailor standard components to
meet specific requirements and is willing to discuss any other customisation as required.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Follow the sequence below, step by step, to install the Commander matrix.
•Unpack the matrix
•Fit the matrix frame and power supplies into the equipment bay
•Load the modules into the matrix frame, in sequence
•Apply power to the system and check basic operation.
•Connect control panels and check operation with the supplied flash ram configuration.
•Set up the configuration PC.
2.2 UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the equipment from its transit material and check each item for signs of
damage.
Check the contents of the boxes against our despatch note and your original order to ensure
that you have received the correct parts.
In the event that the unit has been damaged or does not match your order, immediately
contact Trilogy Communications at the address given at the front of this guide.
2.3 RACK MOUNTING
The Central Matrix is built in multiples of 6U. The depth (excluding mating connectors) is
420mm. Control Panels are standard 19” rack mounting units; most panels are 2U although
a series of 1U panel are available and custom panels may be 3U or larger. The Power
Supply requires additional space – see Section 2.5 for further details.
It is most likely that a system contractor or Trilogy personnel will install the central matrix.
Suitable care should be taken with cooling and ventilation within the equipment bay. There
are a number of internal connections between racks of multiple rack systems. Refer to the
Technical Guide or Trilogy Communications for further details.
In a multi frame system, the ports are located as
follows:
Frame 6 Ports 481 - 576
Frame 5 Ports 385 - 480
Frame 4 Ports 289 - 384
Frame 3 Ports 193 - 288
Frame 2 Ports 97 - 192
Frame 1 Port 1 - 96

2.4 SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
If the system is multi-frame (i.e. > 96 ports), it will be supplied with frame 1 at the bottom and
frames 2,3,4 etc. ascending from there. Some earlier systems were supplied with the frames
configured in descending order.
The system modules will normally be packed separately for transit. Carefully remove all of
the packing materials taking care to leave the modules in their anti-static protection for as
long as possible.
Module variants are indicated by the type suffix, e.g. 500-06-00. In general, there is
complete backward compatibility between all versions of the modules. Modules supplied as
part of a complete system are compatible and will have been system checked accordingly.
Identify the modules and fit them into the frame in the following order:
1. 500-08 Changeover Module. See section 2.4.1.
2. 500-02 Talkback Controller (main controller only) See section 2.4.2.
NOTE: Items 1 and 2 may be supplied pre-assembled. Check carefully!
3. 500-01 TDM Controller (main controller only). See section 2.4.3.
4. Optional 500-10 Misc. I/O (GPI) Modules. See section 2.4.5.
5. Optional 500-25 Network Cards. See section 2.4.4.
6. 500-06 Matrix Cards. See section 2.4.6.
The diagram below shows the correct location within each frame.
Please note the positions of the modules. Incorrect location of modules will
result in damage to the electronics.
If in doubt, contact Trilogy BEFORE switching on the power.
