Exigo small system

This article explains how to setup and configure a small Exigo system with one ESC1 Controller, one ENA2200 Amplifier and one ECPIR-3P Access panel.
The system will be programmed with 2 Zones.
With the PPT button we will configure Live Speech on both zones. 

Note.PNG Before you start configure it is important that all devices have been updated to the latest software/firmware. 
          Use only software/firmware from the same Exigo package.

Step 1: IP address and Directory number

Each device will need to be configured with an IP address and subnet which is in range of the AMC-IP card.
In addition each device also need a directory number.

Table below lists IP range for a small system with one amplifier and on access panel.
All subnets are set to 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway is set to 10.1.0.1

Device IP Directory number
PSC 10.1.0.21
ESC1 10.1.0.20 013010

Step 8: Exigo Management Tool System Configuration

When the Project is created in EMT it is time to do configuration on the System.

Assigning the ECPIR-3P Access Panel to the System:

  • Click Components at the lower-left of the window.
  • Click Devices from the menu box
  • Under Console Mounted Access Panels drag-and-drop ECPIR-3P to System

The access panel will now appear as ECPIR-3P 1 in the device list under System.

Assigning Channels on Amplifier to Zones:

  • Select ENA2200 A1 > Audio Lines > Line > Amplifier output channel 1
  • Drag-and-drop Amplifier output channel 1 to Zone 1 under PA Zones
EMT - assigning output channels to zones


  • Repeat the procedure to assign channel 2 on the amplifiers to Zone 2.

Assigning Zone to the PPT Button

  • Select System > ECPIR-3P 1 > Programmable Keys > ptt > press_actions
EMT - assigning zones to the PTT button


  • In the detailed view select All under Destination

Do the same for release_action:

  • Select System > ECPIR-3P 1 > Programmable Keys > ptt > press_release
  • In the detailed view select All under Destination

Step 9: Upload database
