58 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the APX 7500
Consolette support a
COR output?
The APX 7500 Consolette supports a relay that is closed when the
Consolette receives qualified audio. This relay can be used to switch in a DC
voltage specified by the user. For example, when the balanced Wireline
Interface is unmuted to receive audio, the CHAN_ACT_RELAY_OUT on the
DB25 on the rear panel will be driven with the signal that is provided on
CHAN_ACT_RELAY_IN. This signal passes through a relay on the
Consolette. This is especially useful when the customer’s setup has a signal
with a high voltage or if the customer wants to switch in a ground signal. The
relay circuitry has a maximum load voltage of 350V and a maximum load
current of 120 mA.
Does theAPX 7500
Consolette support E&M
control?
Yes; the APX 7500 Consolette supports a balanced wireline input and a
single-ended TX audio input, either of which can be used in conjunction with
a hardware PTT input. Additionally the Consolette provides a relay that
closes when there is receive activity. Note that this relay only closes when
there is valid qualified audio being received; it does not close based on true
COR output behavior which is active anytime there is any RF activity on that
receive frequency.
How many channels
does the APX 7500
Consolette support?
The user can select up to 16 channels via the TRC interface, up to 1250 via
the O5 control head or MCD 5000, up to 12 with the Gold Series Elite’s ACIM
interface, and up to 255 with the MCC7500’s CCGW/ACIM interface.
“Channels” refers to the number of radio transceiver channels that can be
accessed.
Are there field kits to
convert between a W7
and W9 control head
style for the APX 7500
Consolette?
The APX 7500 Consolette does not support either the W7 or the W9 control
head styles any longer; instead it supports the newer O5 control head. In the
past, customers needed to convert between the W7 model to the W9 model
in order to correctly configure their Consolette for the appropriate remote
control method. This is no longer needed as the APX 7500 Consolette is
designed to support all rear panel functionality regardless of the front panel
configuration (blank versus full feature model).
Does the blank panel
configuration of the
APX 7500 Consolette
support Tone Remote
Control?
Yes, the APX 7500 Consolette supports Tone Remote Control on both the
blank panel configuration and the full feature configuration.
Can the PLN1360 and
PLN1687 tone remote
controller cards be
reused in the APX 7500
Consolette?
No. The APX 7500 Consolette is a complete redesign – there is no reuse
from previous Consolette designs.
Can the APX 7500
Consolette be used over
the Internet?
The Consolette can be configured remotely over an IP connection. Remote
control from the MCD 5000 via an IP interface is also supported.
Does the APX 7500
Consolette support the
MCD 5000?
Yes, theAPX 7500 Consolette supports the MCD 5000 via its LAN interface.
