Congratulations on wisely choosing the PageMatrixª system for your current and future paging projects. Used in conjunction with our highly-acclaimed MediaMatrix¨ digital audio system, PageMatrix provides an integrated and flexible approach to all serious paging applications. MediaMatrix serves as the central processing unit for an entire project, controlling the entire system from signal routing to managing the paging system. The PageMatrix system provides multiple paging stations that are easily configured to just about any page/zone requirement. Plus, these paging stations are portable, meaning that the wall plug/port contains the identity of the paging station connected to it. The PageMatrix hardware components include the 2-rack space PageMatrix Controller and three types of paging stations. The PageMatrix controller supports up to 16 paging stations in any combination and connects to MediaMatrix Break Out Boxes (BoBs) for audio and to the MediaMatrix frameÕs RS-232 serial port for control data. Three paging stations are available including the Station Four-Wª Wall Mount, Station Fourª Desktop, and Station Tenª Desktop. The software components include:

PageMatrix Software MediaMatrix view files MediaMatrix PASHAª paging files (corresponds to the appropriate view file) The PageMatrix application provides a graphical way to program the zone preset buttons of each attached station. Once the configuration is finalized, it is simply downloaded to the PageMatrix Controller for operation. It is not necessary to access the PageMatrix application again until the time comes to update the configuration. Features

Any combination of four or ten button stations can be used.

All stations feature multi-color LEDs which indicate zone preset status.

Controller features a station power input for remote +24V DC operation.

Phoenix connectors are used to connect paging audio to MediaMatrix BoBs.

Controller supports up to four MediaMatrix systems.

Controller offers 16 front panel station LEDs which indicate station status.

The PageMatrix controller is the heart of the system. It is connected via an RS-232 serial port to the MediaMatrix frame running MediaMatrix and PageMatrix software. In fact, one PageMatrix controller can control up to four separate MediaMatrix systems (four control data ports are provided). In addition to the control ports, a single program port is available to receive data from the PageMatrix software. Typically, the PageMatrix configuration is designed and downloaded to the controller, then disconnected from the program port. The PageMatrix controller supports up to 16 unique paging stations including any combination of the Station Four-Wª, Station Fourª, and Station Tenª.

Station Status LEDs: (16) Displays green after software activation.

Control LEDs: (4) Lights up green when the control data ports are in use.

Fault LED: Download error indication when downloading the PageMatrix configuration to the PageMatrix controller. When this message occurs, download the configuration again.

Data LED: Indicates a data transfer to the unit or that valid data exists in memory at power up.

Power : Indicates that the unit is on.

Control Data Ports (4 RS-232 jacks): Allows connection and control of up to four MediaMatrix systems.

Station Inputs (16 RJ45 jacks): All stations are connected to one of the sixteen station inputs using standard CAT 5 cable. The cable carries audio from the station and control data to and from the station, as well as power for the station. Note: This is not a network connection.

Audio Outputs: Four removable ÒPhoenixÓ style connectors are provided for connection of audio to MediaMatrix Break out Box. Note: Two BoBs (8 channels each) are required for 16 stations.

Station Power Input: +24V DC input for emergency station power. Note: In the event of a power loss to the paging controller, the station power input will power only the stations to allow audio to pass in an emergency situation. In this case, the stations will be unable to communicate with the controller, and the controller will be unable to send control information to the MediaMatrix unit. In the event of a power loss, the MediaMatrix view file must be configured to route the audio without control input from the PageMatrix controller. In order for both the controller and stations to remain active, the controller must be connected to some form of power backup system, such as a UPS.

Power Switch: Use to turn the unit on or off.

Fuse: 1A at 100V/120V AC~, T1A/250V 500 mA at 230V AC~, T500mA/250V

3.2.2. Stations and Zones

The PageMatrix application simplifies the process of programming the remote stations. A grid matrix is presented that lists each button for the selected station. HB stands for hardware button and the following number signifies the specific button on the station. Station buttons are displayed in rows and potential zone assignments in columns. To assign the button, simply left-click the desired zone to select it (a bold outline appears around the selection), then right-click to confirm (turns red). Zones represent physical locations and outputs connected via MediaMatrix BoB outputs, amplifiers, and speakers. Note: If you only use one BoB, a maximum of 8 zones will be available. Programming the Paging Stations with the PageMatrix application [note: see the next chapter (Menu Bar) for additional information] Use the ÒInsert StationÓ or ÒAdd StationÓ (Edit Menu) as necessary to include your hardware stations in the programming. After setting up the PageMatrix application, the layout on the left displays a column listing all the connected paging stations. To the right is a matrix list of zones at the top and columns of buttons by number. Select the station you wish to program first, then use the mouse to activate zones for each button. When finished, download the configuration to the Pagematrix controller (File menu). Now your page station buttons are programmed and ready for use. Naming Zone Presets When Using the Station Ten With the Station Ten, a 20 x 2 display is provided for viewing the zone presets. The zone presets are named within the PageMatrix application. When a 10 button station is inserted (Edit/Insert Station), the LCD Text option appears at the top of the screen. Simply select a virtual button, then highlight the default title and rename as you wish up to 16 characters.

About PageMatrix Displays the PageMatrix start-up screen.

4.0. Typical PageMatrix Operation 4.1. Overview

4.1.1. The components

PageMatrix / MediaMatrix paging systems consist of five primary components: ▲ At least one PageMatrix paging station connected to the PageMatrix controller via the proper category five cabling ▲ PageMatrix controller with the appropriate configuration file loaded ▲ PageMatrix application software ▲ A MediaMatrix audio system with PASHA running ▲ A proper PASHA.ini file configured for the ÒView FileÓ compiled

Paging stations connect to the PageMatrix controller via CAT 5 cabling. This cable carries three ÒsignalsÓÐ the analog audio from the microphone, the voltage required to power the remote paging station, and the serial control data which will determine where the microphoneÕs audio signal will be routed by MediaMatrix. The analog microphone signals from all paging stations are individually connected from their outputs on the rear of the PageMatrix Controller to the signal inputs of MediaMatrix break out boxes (ÒBoBsÓ). One of the serial outputs on the rear of the PageMatrix Controller connects to one of the Com Ports on the rear of the MediaMatrix frame.

4.1.3. The Desktop Paging Stations (Station Four and Station Ten)

There is no local switching of the ÒPush-to-TalkÓ microphone connected to the paging station. In all models the microphone is active or ÒonÓ at all times. Pressing station buttons results in activity of the serial communication to the PageMatrix Controller only.

4.1.4. The PageMatrix Controller

There are three functions of this device: 1: To provide power to the Paging stations. 2: To pass the analog microphone signals from the paging stations to the inputs of the MediaMatrix systemÕs BoBs.

3: To interpret the proprietary control data from the paging stations and convert it to standard serial strings which can be forwarded to MediaMatrix. Microphone signals from the paging stations are not acted upon by the PageMatrix Controller, but are simply passed through the box as received. Any switching or routing is done within MediaMatrix.

4.1.4. The MediaMatrix system and PASHA

Among many other tasks, the MediaMatrix system receives the analog audio from the Paging Stations via the PageMatrix controller, converts it to digital and performs all processing of those signals, including the routing of these signals to the various ÒzonesÓ. These routing functions are accomplished by special PageMatrix devices within the systemÕs ÒView FileÓ which are controlled from the PageMatrix Controller via PASHA.

4.1.5. Push-to-talk switchÐWhat happens?

1: Pressing a stationÕs zone preset button selects the configured zones in MediaMatrix. 2: When the push-to-talk switch is pressed, the PageMatrix Controller immediately sends the proper serial command to the MediaMatrix Com port. (The serial command sent is pre determined by the PageMatrix configuration file which has been downloaded and is running in the controller.) 3: This serial command is interpreted by MediaMatrix (via PASHA) and ÒpressesÓ the appropriate router buttons in the MediaMatrix view file to send the audio to the zone or combination of zones selected by the paging station. 4: Audio passes to the zone(s) through MediaMatrix as long as the push-to-talk button on the station remains pressed. 5: Functions such as paging priorities, signal source ducking, zone equalization, etc. are all functions of the MediaMatrix system and are not directly acted upon by the PageMatrix components.

4.1.6. Operation within MediaMatrix

Paging devices can be complicated systems consisting of multiple Òmixing routers.Ó For example, programming a paging device which consists of 8 stations and 32 buttons requires that a PASHA file be written addressing each of the matrix locations (256 parameters). Since programming your own Pasha files would require extensive time, we have provided a variety of view files and associated PASHA.INI files to simplify the task. We highly recommend you use the files weÕve provided on floppy disk and edit them for your specific application.

Basic OperationÐHere we go...

1. Find the appropriate .txt file for the device you wish to use.

2. Rename this file to pasha.ini and place in the Peavey directory (mediamatrix\views).

Note: If you wish to keep the original pasha.ini file, just rename it.

3. Open MediaMatrix (if not already launched).

4. From the Device menu select ÒPagingÓ to view the available devices.

5. Select an existing device and wire it accordingly.

6. Test the routings and zones.

Example: Suppose we want to use the 1632.pav file. Rename the 1632.txt file to pasha.ini. Move this newly created pasha.ini to the MediaMatrix root directory. 4.2. Troubleshooting 101

Remember, the view file must be compiled. Make sure Pasha.com(pasha.com1, pasha.com2, pasha.com3, or pasha.com4) is launched and matches the same com port used for PageMatrix. Be sure to launch PageMatrix and program a test file. In MediaMatrix, check the view file visual monitors to determine if the system is responding. Finally, check cable type, connection, and port settings.

5.2. Using the MediaMatrix Program Launcher The Program Launcher is found in the Device/Miscellaneous Menu. It is used to make it easy to open another Windows application while you are using MediaMatrix. You can label the Program Launcher block and include it in any window of a MediaMatrix design. The Program Launcher device can either launch another Windowsª application or switch to that application if it is already running. The Object Properties dialog for this object has a field titled ÒRun this programÓ that contains the complete path and file name and optional command line arguments of the program you want to run. You can browse the applications that are currently running by pressing the ÒWindow Title...Ó button, and you can browse for executables (*.exe) by pressing the ÒFile Name...Ó button. The object can perform its action, either running or switching to the other application, on either a single mouse click or on a double-click as determined by the settings of the ÒRun program onÓ radio buttons. In Edit Mode, the action is always on a double-click.

NOTE: This is not a network connection.

5.5. Configuring the PageMatrix Controller As mentioned previously, the PageMatrix controller supports up to sixteen paging stations simultaneously. In larger applications where multiple controllers are necessary, the various PageMatrix units must be configured for IDs beyond the default 1-16 setting. This is accomplished by changing the DIP switch settings inside the unit.

1. Remove top plate of the controller (six screws).

2. Now viewing the inside of the unit, find the DIP switch (labeled SW100) located at the front left

3. You will only adjust switches 1 and 2 according to the chart below.
