E497 24 keys paging console for audio IP systems

Product specifications

E497 is a desktop microphone console for


paging applications over IP networks with
24 configurable keys.

Matches perfectly with the EQUITEL ENA


receivers family (E411, E413, E415 and
E417), and with the E351 transceiver and
other devices able to decode RTP audio.

Can generate up to 100 audio streams


simultaneously. Each stream can be sent
to a unicast or multicast destination.

Two working modes can be configured:


“Fixed zoning” or “Selectable zoning”.

SD Card slot to store pre-recorded


messages and chimes.

Application
The image shows a typical IP
paging application using the
E497 and/or E495 consoles and
some ENA series decoders
(E411, E413, E415 or E417).
The main function of the E497or
E495 consoles is send vocal
messages to the “Emergency” or
“Advertisement” layers of the
decoders(*).
The vocal messages can be
generated live, from the micro-
phone, or from files stored in the
SD memory card.
The selection of the destinations
(zones) to send the audio is very
easy and flexible.
If more than one console is
used, the intercommunication
between them allow to avoid
usage conflicts. The destinations
that are in use by one console are disabled temporally in the others.
Also, the line input can be used to send audio from an external source. This can replace the background music
generation system in some applications.
As an option, it is possible to include the ability to send recorded messages in a scheduled time basis (add the
“-T” option to the purchasing code)

(*) See the document “ENA system description” for a detailed description of the audio layers and priorities system.

Audio formats Simple configuration
The E497 sends audio to the network using the RTP Configuration is done through the embedded
standard and one of the three following uncompressed web server specially designed for an intuitive
audio formats: use.
 G711-A: Sampling at 8 kHz and 12 bits per sam-
ple, coded in 8 bits. This is the most common au-
dio format used in VoIP systems. It yields a good
voice quality with small bandwidth consumption. Is
compatible with the ENA decoders and the E351
transceiver.
 PCM11025: Sampling at 11.025 kHz and 16 bits
per sample. Better audio quality than G711-A.
Compatible with the ENA audio decoders.
 PCM32000: Sampling at 32 kHz and 16 bits per
sample. Very high sound quality. Compatible with
the E351 audio transceiver.
The uncompressed audio formats allows to have low
latency values.

The microphone, which is


the part most susceptible to
break, can be easily re-
placed thanks to the use of a
standard XLR connector.
In this case, the device must be assembled accord-
ingly. So, indicate it in your order to avoid unneces-
sary manipulation at installation time.
