RTS Digital Matrix Intercom ADAM: Advanced Digital Audio Matrix

ADAM

Advanced Digital Audio Matrix

Front View | Back View

The updated high-end ADAM matrix supports 8 to 1000+ users per system; 272 ports possible in just a 7RU frame.
The RTS ADAM matrix, now in its 3rd generation, is still compatible with existing intercom equipment. Compared to the original ADAM, it has improved power capacity, doubled channel capacity, and expanded connectivity and control options.
Utilizing a Time Division Multiplex (TDM) technique, the ADAM grows linearly as users are added; the system comes standard with newly-redesigned redundant high current power supplies, and the new redundant Ethernet master controllers, MCII-e, allowing for automatic changeover in the event of failure. The MCII-E master controller allows Ethernet connectivity between the ADAM intercom and a PC running AZedit programming software. It can support 32 simultaneous AZedit sessions via Ethernet and 3 sessions via serial.
ADAM is available with the widest variety of interface cards in the industry, which includes the AIO-16, AES-3, and RVON-16 VoIP interfaces. It also has a wide variety of cabling options, including RJ-11s, DB-9s, jack fields, and many others.

Support

An audible "sizzling" or "frying" noise can be heard in port to port audio through the ADAM Matrix.

Cause
A timing problem exists in Telex TDM ASICs fabricated by AMI.

Solution
Changing the AIO card timing scheme to accommodate the increased delay needed by ASICs fabricated by AMI.

Procedure
1. Using kynar or other suitable jumper wire, run a jumper from U5 pin 5 to U5 pin 30as shown in figure 1.
2. Create a solder bridge between pins 28 and 29 on U5.

How can I upgrade my ADAM to support AIO-8 & AIO-16 cards?

You must do the following to upgrade your ADAM to support AIO-16 cards:
• Have the new ADAM power supply installed. (p/n 9020-7516-001).
• In a single frame system, have the Master Controller firmware 9.22.0 or higher installed.
• In a multi-frame system, have the peripheral controller firmware 10.13.x or higher installed, have the DBX firmware 1.13.0 or higher
installed.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to save the existing AZedit setup file (.adm) before confirming the switch over to High Density, because a 1st Birthday occurs
when switching over.
• Using AZedit's Intercom Sizing Wizard (Options|Intercom Configuration|Options Tab), configure your system as High Density (following the
wizard instructions).
• Insert the AIO-8 and AIO-16 cards in the slots you want.
NOTE: For more detailed information, see the AIO-16 User Manual (Figure 2).

NOTE:
The AIO-16 Backcards
SCSI Backcard (9000-7726-002)
Backward compatibility to existing AIO-8 breakout panels. This card carries two single RS-485 data pairs; one data pair per group
of 8 keypanel ports.
MDR Backcard (9000-7726-003)
Can be connected to 1RU, 48-port RJ-45 breakout panel or to a 2RU, 32-port DB-9 breakout panel. This card has 16 RS-485 data
pair so each keypanel can communicate with the matrix separately. Because the MDR backcard has individual intelligent ports,
addressing is done dynamically from the matrix to the keypanel.
AIO-16 Breakout Panel Usage
The AIO-16 back panels have 2 connectors (SCSI and MDR) per card. Each connector carries 8 ports per connector. These connections can
be separated between multiple and different breakout panels, if desired. For example, if you are using an XCP-40-DB9 breakout panel, and
you have four AIO-8 cards seated next to an AIO-16, you can connect the AIO-8 cards SCSI connections to J1, J2, J3, J4 on the XCP-40
breakout panel. You can then connect the AIO-16 J1 SCSI connector to J5 on the XCP-40 breakout panel and connect the AIO-16 J2 SCSI
connector to another XCP-40 breakout panel.
