INSTRUCTION MANUAL

iPX5400

Ethernet Transceiver

Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.

Introducing another product for the convenience of installation when it is required to send audio / data from a distance

away. iPX5400 is a transceiver unit, which is able to operate in duplex mode ( paging ), works in pair in LAN environment

or connected directly via UTP cable or Fiber through a converter. It is a simple device allowing peer to peer communication

without the need to employ full IP solutions in your system.

Among applications includes :

- Sending audio from Guard House's paging mic to main system at a distance away through fiber link thus reducing the

risks of lightning surge

- Rack to rack audio / data transmission through existing LAN, thus avoiding the need to lay new cables

- Apply it with wireless AP for areas where laying of new cables are not feasible.

Normal mic such as PM1000 can use to transmit with a dry contact as activation key. At the receiving end, there shall be audio

output for link to mixer, etc and another dry contact for other general purpose. An example is to use a handheld mic as emer-

gency mic at guard house to trigger an ALL CALL at system rack for emergency announcement.

This is usually applied when is required to install a paging microphone a distance away from the rack such as guard house,

remote office or at different building.

Audio ( line level output ) and RS485 output shall be connected to iPX5400 as per diagram below, and at the receiving end,

audio shall be fed to mixer and the RS485 data shall go to TD decoder for zone activation. In this mode, duplex operation is

allowed.

3. Transmitting Music via iPX5400

iPX5400 allows high quality music audio to be transmitted via existing LAN or fiber optic. They works in pair at simplex mode.
