2 | IX-PA Installation & Programming Guide
Step 1: Logging into the IX-PA Paging Adaptor
The IX-PA is a paging adaptor designed for use with the Aiphone IX Series network intercom system. The paging adaptor
has an address book that supports up to 50 stations and can be connected to 3rd party devices. The paging adaptor can be
accessed by an IX-MV master station or an instance of the IX Mobile App to allow messages to be broadcast through the
IX-PA 600Ω or 8Ω output. A 3rd party device can be connected to the audio input to send messages to the paging adaptor's
address book.
The IX-PA adaptor is defaulted to DHCP. When it powers on with factory default settings, it will request a DHCP address. If
it does not receive one, it will wait for any computer using ARP to locate X.X.X.168 and respond, and then use that address
until it is rebooted or a static IP address is assigned. The assigned IP address will be announced through the 8Ω speaker
(if attached). When a static address is assigned, it will not request DHCP nor listen for .168, it will simply power on with the
address assigned. Enter the announced or default .168 IP address into a web browser address bar to access the IX-PA.
Step 2: Assigning Station Information
Once logged into the adaptor, the Station Information screen shows Station Number, Station Name, and Location
assignments. An optional Web Password can also be assigned to the adaptor from this screen to prevent unauthorized access.
After entering a unique Station Number and Station Name, click the button to save and restart the adaptor.
WIRING:

The IX Series equipment must be programmed and operational prior to programming the IX-PA paging adaptor.

Step 3: Network Settings
Select Network Settings from the
menu on the left. Enter a unique IP
Address*, Subnet Mask, and Gateway
IP Address. Consult with your IT
department for the appropriate
addresses to be assigned.
There are additional settings on
the Network Settings page that
can be adjusted: SIP Settings,
Audio Settings, and Packet
Priority. The default settings will
work in most cases. Adjust as
necessary.
Click the button to save any Network Settings changes and restart the adaptor.
* If changes are made to the IP address, the
web browser will need to be redirected to
the new IP address after updating.
Note any Network Settings changes for use
in Step 8: Assigning IP Address.
Note the Station Number & Station
Name for use in Step 7: Adding the
IX-PA to an IX Series System.
