Question   What does local mode in the IP-223 support?   Answer   Local mode in the IP-223 is the most commonly used mode of the five that are available. It connects directly to the radio using a DB-25 connector providing TX and RX audio connections, COR input or VOX for RX packet generation and a PTT output line to the radio.  The audio connections to the radio may be single ended or balanced pair, impedances are selectable as required by the specific model of radio used and set via the IP-223s internal jumper settings.  Binary Coded Decimal code output is available for channel steering on radios equipped with BCD inputs, with seven bit lines are available which can select up to 100 channels.  The BCD digital outputs are custom programmable per function tone. Additionally, some radios can be controlled using serial commands allowing for an increased feature set, currently these are limited to the following: Kenwood TK-x80, -x90, -x150, -x180, -5x10 and NX-700/800 NXDN series EF Johnson 5300 RS and ES series Motorola iDEN Falcon series TETRA Supura   Please see IP-223 the manual for more detailed information.           © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   What are some of the reasons for no serial control of radios attached to IP-223?    Answer   Serial control of some Kenwood, EF Johnson, Sepura and iDEN radio models require data initialization upon boot up of the IP-223 before the data connection becomes active. This is indicated by a message in the display of the IP-223, such as “KENWOOD” for Kenwood radios and “EFJOHNSON” for EF Johnson radios (The radio must be powered up before the IP-223 is power cycled.) If you do not get this confirmation upon boot up, you will need to do some troubleshooting. This indication will persist in the IP-223 display until the first time the radio is keyed up. If you are not getting any indication of serial data initialization, check to see that the serial cabling is correct and that the serial programming jumper is inthe correct position for the radio installed. If you are using Line 2 of the IP-223, be aware that a Serial Y cable is required to adapt the standard Telex radio to IP-223 interface cable for use with Line 2. Check to see that you have selected the correct serial data mode in the IP-223 Per Line Settings page, for the radio model you are using.               © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   What are some reasons I get intermittent PTTs in Tone Mode with Analog Consoles and IP-223‘s?   Answer   When using a legacy console with RoIP transport, under certain conditions PTT activation at the radio end (Tone Mode IP-223) may not be consistent. There are two main reasons this can occur: Signal level into the tone remote panel or tone controlled radio is too high or too low. Both insufficient signal level, or excessive signal level can cause the decoder to become unreliable. Increasing or decreasing the level into the decoding device may reveal the optimum set point. Ideally, the set point should be centered in the decoding signal “window”. This point may vary from one decoder device to another. Doubling of the LLGT. If the Console Mode IP-223 does not have the PTT Notch filter on, a 2175 Hz sine wave is sent out with the console audio. At the radio end the Tone mode IP-223, a second LLGT tone is added. The constant variation in phase of these two beating signals will cause problems with intermittent decoding. Only the Tone mode IP-223 should be generating the LLGT. Be sure the Console mode IP-223 has the PTT Notch ON.               © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   Why isn't my Kenwood TK-x90 changing channels after following the Telex Instructions?   Answer   Changes by Kenwood have caused an issue with firmware for the TK-x90 radio. We know that firmware check sum 7C4A will not work with our IP-223 or IP-224. You will need to downgrade your radio to Firmware Check sum 3902. This will allow you to change channels and have control of the TK-x90 radio from our IP-223 and IP-224 products.           © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.
