1. Connect one or more IPI 201, IPI 204 units, or MLC 226 IP(s) with one or more
IPI 101 AAP and/or IPI 104 AAP units to a network using straight‑through
cable.
2. Using a PC in the network, configure the IPI systems, assigning the PC’s IP
address to one button on each IPI, using Global Configurator, the unit’s Web
pages, or the ARP command ( see chapter 4 ). The button light changes from red
to low amber to indicate it is configured and connected to the PC.
3. The intercom user presses and holds the button assigned to the PC to initiate
talk mode. The button glows bright amber, and the Mic On LED lights.
4. The user speaks into the intercom. Audio is output through the PC speakers at
the help desk console.
5. The intercom user releases the button when done speaking.
6. The console operator clicks the Talk button (in the software) or presses the PC’s
space bar to respond.
