Overview
The IP-223 Remote Adapter Panel provides a reliable means of remotely controlling two (2) audio devices. The adapter has
multiple modes allowing it to connect to both digital and analog consoles, and performs a variety of other tasks related to
putting radios on a digital network.
The IP-223 is interconnected to the distant remote control console(s) by means of any available WAN (Wide Area Network) or
LAN (Local Area Network) connection.
Operating Modes
The IP-223 is capable of operating each audio port in different modes:
Local Mode – The radio is connected directly to the IP-223 allowing for simple migration and local control of the radio.
Tone Mode – The IP-223, based on Ethernet traffic, generates the keytones required to control standard industry tone-
equipped radio circuits. This allows an existing tone decoder and radio to be connected. This mode also supports a parallel
analog console.
13
Overview
Console Mode – Allows the use of existing tone-based consoles. The IP-223 decodes industry standard tones, converts it
to Ethernet traffic to another IP-223 that can be in tone or local mode.
Phone Mode – Using a PIB (Phone Interface Box) or TDI (Telephone Dispatch Interface), a line on the IP-
223 is used to connect to an analog phone line.
iDen Radio Mode – Using the NI-223, allows interface with a Falcon Class PTT (Push-To-Talk) mobile phone
system.
TETRA Radio Mode – Used to interface to a TETRA digital trunked system using the IP-223 and the Sepura
SRM2000 mobile radio. The IP-223 interfaces the radio through the PEI (Peripheral
Equipment Interface) allowing dispatch access to TETRA radio assets.

Handset Jack
An optional handset is available for the IP-223. When the optional handset is plugged into the handset jack, the ability to
monitor and talk on either line is available. The handset jack is located on the front of the unit, see Figure 78. When the
handset PTT switch is pressed, the selected radio connected to the IP-223 is keyed up on the existing frequency and the
handset microphone audio is transmitted.
Ethernet audio is also generated on the TX multicast and port for the selected line. This functionality can be used to test both
the Ethernet network and the analog connection.
IC Button
The IC button, when pressed, sends audio from the handset microphone back through the IP Network on the selected TX
multicast and port. It also sends audio to the transmit lines of the IP-223 without keying up the radio. This means no PTT relay
in local mode and no EIA (Electronic Industries Association) tones in tone mode.
LCD Display
The LCD display provides panel status information, such as the IP and subnet addresses, line status, and handset line selection.
• TX F# (# is the selected function tone) indicates a PTT is active.
• RX F# (# is the selected function tone) indicates the RX radio is active.
• ID # displays when a Fleetsync or MDC ANI ID is decoded. This does not include serial decoding.

CHAPTER 2
Designing an IP-223 system requires an understanding of the radio network and how the various radios and communication
equipment are connected.
The first step in designing an IP-223 system is to create a roadmap of the radio, console, and any other communication
equipment locations. This roadmap must include the following:
• Multicast addresses for each channel of TX (transmit) and RX (receive) communication.
• Port numbers for each channel of TX and RX communication.
• Base IP Addresses assigned to each console and IP-223 on the network.
Network Requirements
Bandwidth
Each VoIP channel requires 50kBit of bandwidth while active. Full-duplex conversation (audio in each direction) requires
100kBit of bandwidth.
NOTE: Most radio voice communications are half-duplex (only in one direction at any one time), thus requiring 50kbits.
Some radio systems transmit go-ahead beeps when it is clear to talk. In order for the console operator to hear the beeps, the
system must support full-duplex communication. Full-duplex bandwidth may only be required for the first few seconds of a
conversation, due to the brief nature of the go-ahead beeps at the beginning of the transmission.
When using a PIB, TDI, C-6200, or the NI-223 for a telephone connection, 100kBit is required since it is a constant, full-
duplex conversation.
Multicast
In general, Telex systems require multicast to function. The network must be able to support the multicast traffic generated by
the system.
It is very common for networks to enable multicast after an IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) join message is sent
out, and then prune off branches after a period of time. Due to the intermittent usage patterns of two-way radios, such a system
can appear to work flawlessly for a period of time, then no longer work.
23
Communications System Design
NOTE: When using Cisco technology, IP PIM dense mode is generally recommended. Generally speaking, sparse-
dense-mode can also be implemented effectively. We recommend explicitly joining the multicast group with an
IP IGMP static-join X.X.X.X command. For more information on Cisco and IGMP, visit www.cisco.com
Network Performance
Networks should perform well under any loading conditions. The default audio delay is 120ms, plus any delay added by the
network. While delay alone does not cause issues, variable delay (jitter) does. Jitter in a network cannot exceed the
maximum packet buffer of any individual product buffer. Refer to the individual product manuals for these specifications. For
example, the IP-223 can handle approximately 600ms of network jitter.
NOTE: Losing more than 5% of the total packets transmitted compromises audio quality and system performance.
Optimally, packet loss should be less than 1%.
24
CHAPTER 3
Local/Radio Connections
NOTE: Connections to radios differ from connections for remote operation; therefore connections are discussed
separately.
Jumper Positions
An example of the jumper positions are shown in Figure 82. In the figure, jumper 14 (J14) is shown in position A, jumper 3
(J3) is shown in position B, and jumper 23 (J23) has been placed on the center pin indicating the jumper is in the NULL
position.
25
Installation and Level Settings
3. Carefully slide the case top forward past the IC and LINE buttons, and then lift up to gain access to the PCB (Printed
Circuit Board) as shown in Figure 83.
4. Locate the desired jumper on the PCB assembly and use needle nose pliers to adjust the jumper, if necessary.
5. Carefully lift up the case top and place it into position on the chassis bottom.
6. Secure the case top into position using the six (6) screws.
7. Connect power to the IP-223 unit.
26
Local/Radio Connections
TX Audio Connection
The IP-223 has a number of options when connecting to the radio. Different jumper settings are required for different
revisions of the PCB installed in the IP-223 unit, and are noted below. Set the jumper position listed for the line according to
the connection type shown below.
RX Audio Connection
To connect the radio receiver audio to the IP-223, different jumper settings are required for different revisions of the PCB
installed in the IP-223 unit, and are noted below. Set the jumper position for the line according to the connection type shown
below.
• If the radio receiver audio output is balanced, connect to pins 12 and 24 of the DB25 connector.
• If the receiver audio is single ended, use pin 24 of the DB25 connector. The audio source must be after the
squelch circuit to prevent sending continuous noise to the remote console.
• If a high-impedance point in the receiver is used, a shielded cable is recommended.

PTT Connection
Connect the radio PTT circuit to the PTT relay contact terminals on the DB25 connector. Usually the common of the relay
contact switch is grounded and the normally open contact connects to the PTT input. An alternative method to ground the
common of the relay internal to the unit is to jumper R377 (line 1) and R381 (line 2) with a piece of wire soldered closed.
Monitor Connection
Connect the radio MON circuit to the MON relay contact terminals on the DB25 connector. Usually the common of each relay
contact switch is grounded and the normally open contact connects to the MON input. An alternative method to ground the
common of the relay internal to the unit is to jumper R376 (line 1) and R380 (line 2) with a piece of wire soldered closed.
R1 and R2 Relays
The IP-223 provides two (2) relay closures for controlling the frequency of the radio, or switching a remote ancillary device.
The F1 and F2 contacts can be connected through the DB25 connector. Usually the common of each relay contact switch is
grounded and the normally open contact connects to the radio frequency control terminals. Information on programming the
R1 and R2 relays is provided in the “Setup Information” chapter of this manual starting on page 33. An alternative method to
ground the common of the relay R1 internal to the unit is to jumper R375 (line 1) and R379 (line 2), and for relay R2 jumper
R374 (line 1) and R378 (line 2) with a piece of wire soldered closed.
28
Tone/Console Operation
Digital I/O
In addition to the two standard relay closures, seven (7) lines of digital I/O are also included. These lines are open-collector
transistor outputs. They can be programmed on a per line basis to generate any of 128 combinations. They pull down to ground
and can be jumper selected to pull up to either +5V or the power supply voltage (minimum +12V).
Jumpers J8 (line 1) and J30 (line 2) are used to select the pull up voltage. Jumper position A pulls up to +5V and jumper
position B pulls to the power supply value.
NOTE: Some radios provide a pull-up voltage. When this occurs, place the jumper into the null position. Information on
programming the digital I/O lines is provided in the “Setup Information” chapter of this manual starting on
page 33.
CTCSS output - Each function tone can be assigned a CTCSS number which corresponds to a CTCSS frequency. See
“CTCSS Tone Frequency Table” on page 131.
Tone/Console Operation
Tone and Console operation require jumpers set to specific locations. The following section discusses the jumper settings. See
“Jumper Locations” on page 125.
The RX termination J14 (line 1) and J24 (line 2) should be placed in jumper position A on 4-wire systems for a single unit at
the end of a line. If multiple units are connected in parallel, only one (1) unit should have the RX termination jumper in the A
position. The RX termination jumper should be in the null position on the rest of the units.
TX Side Settings
PCB 750743 or PCB 750630 revision C and higher
Two (2) jumpers on the transmit pair allow a degree of control over the output impedance. The jumper positions for each line,
depending on how many consoles are placed in parallel, are shown below.

Supervisory I/O
Supervisory information to and from consoles is provided at DIG1, pin 21 of the DB25 connector. The supervisory I/O is both
an input and an output.
Supervisory input and output in console, tone or local mode behaves as follows:
NOTE: Information on programming the supervisory I/O is provided in the “Setup Information” chapter of this manual
starting on page 33..
Level Adjustments
Once the IP-223 unit is connected to the system, the level potentiometers can be set. Access to test and adjustment points on
newer versions of the IP-223 are provided through labeled openings on the case top and on the front panel of the unit. On older
versions of the IP-223, access to some of the test and adjustment points is provided through labeled openings on the front
panel; however, the case top needs to be opened to access the other test and adjustment points.
30
Level Adjustments
General Alignment
The IP-223 has a TX alignment tone and an RX alignment VU meter accessible from the front panel of the unit.
• Press and hold the line button and then momentarily press the IC button twice to generate the 1kHz 0dB TX
alignment tone on both lines.
• Press and hold the line button and then momentarily press the IC button three times to display the RX VU
meters.
Radio/Line TX Level
The Radio 1 TX test points (TP2 and TP6) and the Radio 2 TX test points (TP8 and TP9) are located on the front panel of the
IP-223. These provide a point to measure the actual signal being placed into the radio or balanced TX line. The front panel
accessible adjustment Radio 1 TX potentiometer (R47) and Radio 2 RX potentiometer (R61) are used to adjust these levels.
NOTE: If the unit is placed into single-ended mode, the radio TX+ should be measured with respect to ground.
It is also possible to place jumper J9 (line 1) or J26 (line 2) into the A position to decrease the output of the TX line by a factor
of 10. The final adjustment should allow for undistorted audio to be transmitted for the full range of transmission levels at the
desired deviation. This can be accomplished by turning on the TX alignment tone and adjusting the TX output to 0dB, as
measured into a 600 ohm load.
Radio/Line RX Level
31
Installation and Level Settings
NOTE: If this feature is not necessary, or the line is in 2-wire mode, the TX Monitor field in the Options section on
the Per Line Setup window should be cleared.
2. Verify the RX alignment is completed first.
CTCSS Level
The CTCSS level is measured by connecting an oscilloscope or RMS meter to ground and Radio 1 CTCSS test point (TP7) or
Radio 2 CTCSS test point (TP10). With the radio connected to the CTCSS output, have the remote console open to receive
audio so CTCSS is present. Adjust the Radio 1 CTCSS potentiometer (R50) or Radio 2 CTCSS potentiometer (R53) until the
desired level is achieved.
Frequency Decoding
The IP-223 is factory tuned to the frequencies shown below. The detection frequencies cannot be changed as they are coded
into the software. However, any actual function or output can be made to work with any existing programmed frequency.
Please consult the factory for special requirements for frequency selections.

Setup Information
Local Mode – The radio is connected directly to the IP-223 allowing for simple migration and full local control of the
radio.
Tone Mode – The IP-223, based on Ethernet traffic, generates the keytones required to control standard, tone-equipped
radio circuit. This allows an existing tone decoder and radio to be connected. This mode also
supports a parallel analog console for local control.
Console Mode – Allows the use of existing tone-based consoles to the VoIP network. The IP-223 decodes standard tones,
converts it into Ethernet traffic for another IP-223 and optional parallel IP consoles.
Phone Mode – Using a PIB or TDI, a line on the IP-223 is used to connect to an analog phone line.
iDEN Radio – Using the NI-223, allows interface with a Falcon Class push-to-talk (PTT) mobile phone system.
TETRA Radio Mode – Used to interface to a TETRA digital trunked system using the IP-223 and the Sepura SRM2000
mobile radio. The IP-223 interfaces the radio through the PEI allowing dispatch access to TETRA
radio assets.

Setup Information
For example, when F1 has R1 selected as its relay, and F2 has R2 selected as its relay, setting the two (2) Relay Group
numbers to the same value allows multiple relays with different functions. In this scenario, the relays for F1 and F2 are
interlocked. When the Relay Group assigned to F1 and F2 are different, R2 does not activate when F1 is received.
Furthermore, when there is no relay selected for a function tone, but the assigned relay group is used by another relay group,
when the function tone is received, all relays in the group are activated. This allows relay R1 and R2 to be assigned to different
groups and use other function tones within the same relay group to activate them.
