Peripheral interfaces
TheM2offersthepossibilitytoconnectinputandcontrolunitsinadditiontothestandard
providedinputsandcontrols.
TheconnectionsofthoseadditionalunitsshouldbedonetothePeripheralInterface(PI)
portsprovidedonthebackrearsideoftheM2.Furtherdesribedinthisusermanual,the
PheripheralInterfaceportswillbereferedtowiththeletters‘PI’withanumberranging
from1to10.EachrepresentingonePIportontherearsideoftheM2.Eachofthese
isperformedusinganRJ45connector.8ofthereports(PI1toPI8)arecapableof
transportingBi-Directionalaudioanddata,whiletheremainingtwoports(PI9andPI10)
areonlycapableoftransportingBi-Directionaldata(noaudio)
Available peripheral devices for M2:
DW3020/4020 Basic wall panel with routing and volume control (PI 1 to PI 10)
TheDW3020/4020arebasicwallpanelswherebytheroutingandvolumeforone
specificoutputcanbecontrolled.Thesewallpanelscanbeconnectedinabusstructure,
connectingmultipleDW3020/4020WallpanelstoonePIinput.Theassignmentofthe
wallpanelwithazonecanbedonebysoftwareassignment.(Howthisshouldbedoneis
describedlaterinthischapter)
DW5065 All-In-One wall panel with graphic display, Line & Mic input (PI 1 to PI 8)
TheDW5065wallpanelcanbeusedtocontrolthevolumeandroutingforoneoutput,but
alsoprovidesthepossibilitytocontrolsomeadditionalfunctionslikemute,tonecontrol
andphantompower.ThemostimportantadditionalfeatureoftheDW5065isthatit
containsanadditionalLineandMicrophoneinputwhicharelocallymixedandcanbeused
asanadditionallocalinputfortheM2.ThesignalcomingfromtheDW5065istransfered
inanadditionalwayandcanbemixed/patchedtoanyoftheoutputs.OnlyoneDW5065
wallpanelcanbeconnectedononePIport,whilemultiplebasic(DW3020/4020)wall
panelscanbeaddedonthebusstructureoftheDW5065.

APM Paging consoles (PI 1 to PI 8)
TheAPMPagingconsolescanbeusedforannouncingmessagestotheoutputsofthe
M2orcontrollingsomespecialfunctions(e.g.switchrelay,...).Dependingoftherequired
amountoffunctions/outputs,associatedpagingconsoleswith1,4,8or16buttons
areavailable.MultipleAPMpagingconsolescanbeconnectedononePIport,usingbus
structure.Whenconnectedinbusstructure,onlyoneAPMcanmakeannouncementsat
thesametime.Inthiscase,thepagingwillbecomeprioritybased.Pagingwithseveral
pagingconsolessimultaneouslycanbedonewhenAPMconsolesareconnectedto
separatePIinputs.
