Software Installation
Now that the ADAM CS frame is operating and the configuration computer is connected, you are ready to install the AZedit
software and verify the computer can communicate with the intercom system. Follow the directions to install the software that
accompanied the AZedit CD.
AZedit gives you online help after starting the software. When the keypanel setup screen appears (the default setup screen),
press F1 to start help, then select “Help Contents”. When the “Contents” screen appears, select “General Procedure to
Configure the Intercom System”.
Once the software is installed, you can begin connecting intercom stations and other devices to the intercom system as
described in the following paragraphs.
Intercom Port Connections
General Information
Each intercom port uses two wires for audio input, two wires for audio output, and two wires for data. Depending on the type
of device being connected, some pairs of wires may not be used.
The audio input and output wires typically provide the talk and listen connections for an intercom station, but other types of
audio devices could also be connected.
For example, a program source could be connected to the audio input wires, and in this case the audio output wires would be
available for other uses.
The data wires are used to send and receive control information between the connected device and the Master Controller in the
ADAM CS frame. The data wires are only used by keypanels, by the TIF Telephone Interface, and by the CDP-950 Camera
Delegate Panel. The type of data transmitted includes key pressed information and display information. For example, when a
key is pressed on a keypanel, this information is sent on the data wires to the ADAM CS frame. The Master Controller in the
ADAM CS frame then routes the audio to the proper destination as defined in the intercom system’s configuration program.
The Master Controller also sends data to the device being called; for example, to display the caller’s name at a keypanel, or to
activate a telephone line at the TIF Telephone Interface, etc.
Logical Keypanel Address Numbers
Even though there are separate data pins for each intercom port, these pins do not actually represent a unique data port. Rather,
groups of intercom ports share a common data port. In an ADAM CS intercom system, data groups consist of 8 intercom ports,
and each Audio Input/Output Card represents 1 data group. To distinguish between data devices connected to the same data
group, a logical keypanel address number (1-8) is assigned to each device at the time of connection. The relationship between
intercom port numbers, Audio I/O card numbers and logical keypanel address numbers is shown in Table 3 on page 20.
Specific information about setting logical keypanel address numbers is discussed in the installation notes on the following
pages.
General Procedure for Connecting Devices to Intercom Ports
The following is a suggested method for connecting devices to intercom port:
1. Make a copy of the appropriate planning worksheet. For ADAM CS frames that use RJ-11 or DE-9 back panels, use
Table 8 on page 23. For ADAM CS frames that use a 50-pin telco back panel, use Table 9 on page 25.
2. For each device that will be connected, fill in a row on the worksheet:
