INX
Intelligent Network Transponder
Description
The INX Intelligent Network Transponder is a
component of the E3 Series™ Expandable
Emergency Evacuation System and E3 Series™
Broadband Audio Evacuation System. The INX
transponder serves as the point of distribution for
the system’s audio and fire fighter telephone risers.
The INX occupies a single node on the E3 Broad-
band network and is connected by a single pair of
unshielded, twisted wires, fiber-optic cable or any
combination of the two. Each E3 Broadband node
can be spaced on the network a maximum distance
of 3,000 feet (914.4 m) or up to a 8 dB loss using
fiber-optic cable. Built-in isolation at each node
permits Style 4, Style 6, and Style 7 network

Features
• Listed under UL Standard 864, 9th Edition.
• All communication signals and control-by-event
sequences over two wires or fiber-optic cable including:
audio evacuation, voice paging, fire fighter intercom,
and building control signals.
configurations.
The E3 Broadband Audio Evacuation System is a
peer-to-peer, self-regenerating, token ring network
comprised of up to sixty-four (64), individual nodes.
E3 Broadband employs proven technology and
extends it to accomplish emergency voice evacua-
tion, 2-way Fire Fighter communications, and build-
ing control applications. It is unique in the industry
in requiring only a single pair of wires or fiber-optic
cable connections between nodes to convey all fire
alarm, digital voice, fire fighter communications,
paging, and building control signals. This system
provides a 16 message capacity with up to a 3 min-
ute duration per INX. Messages are easily field-
configurable with a laptop computer.
• Integrates with INCC command centers and additional
INX transponders to create a complete audio evacua-
tion system with up to sixty-four (64) nodes.
• Distributed architecture, including Style 7 wiring config-
urations, allow system components to continue normal
operation with NO loss of function during single line
fault conditions.
• State-of-the-art digital signal processor (DSP) technol-
ogy for efficient audio compression and filtering.
· Software-programmable multi-channel digital audio

• One Style 4 signaling line circuit (SLC) supporting up to
thirty-two (32), addressable speaker circuits (AOM-
MUXF for dual channel) and sixteen (16) addressable
phones circuits (AOM-TELF).
