INSTRUCTION MANUAL
iPX5400
Ethernet Transceiver
Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.
Introducing another product for the convenience of installation when it is required to send audio / data from a distance
away. iPX5400 is a transceiver unit, which is able to operate in duplex mode ( paging ), works in pair in LAN environment
or connected directly via UTP cable or Fiber through a converter. It is a simple device allowing peer to peer communication
without the need to employ full IP solutions in your system.
Among applications includes :
- Sending audio from Guard House's paging mic to main system at a distance away through fiber link thus reducing the
risks of lightning surge
- Rack to rack audio / data transmission through existing LAN, thus avoiding the need to lay new cables
- Apply it with wireless AP for areas where laying of new cables are not feasible.

2. Connecting PM1000 mic to iPX5400 with dry contact activation
Normal mic such as PM1000 can use to transmit with a dry contact as activation key. At the receiving end, there shall be audio
output for link to mixer, etc and another dry contact for other general purpose. An example is to use a handheld mic as emer-
gency mic at guard house to trigger an ALL CALL at system rack for emergency announcement.
