iPX5101
Ethernet Paging Server
Thank you for choosing another quality product from Amperes Electronics.
iPX5101 has been upgraded further with newer technology in keeping pace with the demands of today's PA complexity.
Among them is the Ultra Low Latency audio and data transmissions.
It functions as a traffic controller for all paging clients ( iPX5151 / iPX5155 / iEP1202 ). Every activity from Clients shall be
monitored by iPX5101 and would determine the intended routing to be allowed or otherwise, considering the priority level,
traffic condition and the zone configuration.
With the growing demand of IP Paging System, Amperes IP related products such as iPX5101 shall be the great tool for
coming future. Do read through the manual in order the tap the many advantages that Amperes IP system has to offer.

Paging Configuration
Concurrent Paging: Number of paging mic that
allow to page concurrently. Note that in order to allow
the paging mics to talk at the same time, multiple
iPX5155 (operate in Output Mode) serving different
zone ranges are needed to be present in the system.
Also, the zone ranges that the paging mics are
calling do not overlap. Disable this setting if we want
to allow only one paging mic to be active at a time.
Remap Zones: (To be supported)
Enable Same Priority Override: When
multiple paging mics with equal priority attempt to
page the same zone range, enable this setting shall
allow late caller to page first.
Note: Overlapped zone(s) are zone(s) that been
served by two devices. E.g. if Mic 1 is paging zone 1
& 2; Mic 2 is paging zone 2 & 3 then zone 2 is an
overlapped zone.
