Ex devices. Does not forward 48V to the spare pairs of the Ethernet port. Figure 2 FCDC1 and FCDC2 L It is recommended to use FCDC1 only when you need to power the connected device via the spare pairs of the Ethernet port. In all other situations, use the FCDC2. A100K11422... -
Page 5: Areas Of Application
1.2 Areas of Application The main areas of application for the Flowire Converter are: ● Retrofitting older communication systems ● Providing Ethernet connectivity to remote locations in buildings 1.2.1 Retrofitting Older Intercom & Telephone Systems ● Analog and digital intercom systems ● Analog and digital telephone systems The above solutions typically use a conventional star-wired telecom infrastructure with 0.5 mm AWG) single-pair twisted cables. -
Page 6: Upgrading Conventional Star-Wired Infrastructure
Upgrading Conventional Star-Wired Infrastructure 2.1 The Conventional System A conventional star-wired infrastructure supports analog and digital intercom and telephone systems. These star-wired telecom infrastructures are typically used in both marine and onshore intercom applications. Figure 3 Conventional star-wired infrastructure In this solution, you will have a centralized equipment rack with the following equipment: ●... -
Page 7: Power On Conventional Infrastructure
Conventional star-wired telecom infrastructures commonly use one twisted wire pair to each telecom device. However, many systems, like AlphaCom, use two twisted pairs for each telecom device 2.2 Power on Conventional Infrastructure In an analog and digital telecom/intercom system, it is usually a requirement to power the telephones/ intercoms from the central equipment rack, thus supplying the power over the subscriber line. -
Page 8: System Configuration With Central Powering Of Remote Intercoms
In the figure above, there are two Flowire star configurations, each with one central FCDC2 Flowire Converter and one central PSU (Power Supply Unit). FCDC1 is used to power the connected device via the spare pairs of its Ethernet port There can be no cross connection between these star configurations inside the main distribution frame. -

PoE injector will be ideal. For groups of intercom stations, it may be better to use a PoE switch. L DO NOT use FCDC1 to connect to local power for intercoms at remote locations. L Maximum number of Flowire devices per star configuration = 10 L DO NOT use Gigabit switch with FCDC1 as this will damage the switch. -
Page 10: System Configuration With Ex Equipment
2.7 System Configuration with Ex Equipment In this example the Ex access panel in a PA system is connected to the central equipment rack using Ex certified 2-wire shielded cable. FCDC2 is used to extend the Ethernet connection and support power distribution on the 2-wire cabling infrastructure. Figure 8 Cabling in Ex Zone using FCDC2 L For power, a 24 VDC Power Supply Unit MUST be used. -
Page 11: Connections & Indications
3.2 Ethernet Connection Ethernet is connected via the RJ45 port. This supplies 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (in and out) and power out over spare pairs (FCDC1 only). The power on the spare pairs is the same voltage as the one supplied to the converter. -
Page 12: Mounting & Recommendations
To power a Vingtor-Stentofon IP Intercom Station through its Ethernet port, we recommend at least 40V at the remote site. For land-based installations, use XP power PSU for FCDC1: - Flowire XP 120 XP Power Supply Unit, 48V DC, 120W Item no. -
Page 13: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting 5.1 Power for Stable Connection at Remote Site The minimum voltage at the remote end for PoE is 40VDC. The minimum voltage for the TFIX Ex intercoms and EAPFX Ex access panels is 18VDC. If you are not getting sufficient voltage for a stable connection at the remote site, you can: ●... - Page 14 A100K11422 Flowire Converter Configuration Manual...

Page 16: B: Advanced Configuration
B: Advanced Configuration IP addresses on a Flowire device can be set either by setting a static IP address or having one assigned from a temporary DHCP server. The Flowire device has, by default, DHCP enabled on one of their networking interfaces. The DHCP can be disabled as described in section “B.2 Disabling DHCP”. -
Page 17: Disabling Dhcp
B.2 Disabling DHCP This feature is supported in Flowire software versions 4.1.3.3 and later. In case there is an explicit need to turn off the DHCP client on the device, this can be done via the device web interface. To disable DHCP: ●... -

It is good practice to label the Flowire device with the new NMK. Default NMK: HomePlugAV0123 2.1 IGMP Settings It is possible to configure IGMP settings in the Flowire web interface. Figure 10 IGMP Settings 2.1.1 IGMP Querier In order to secure the reliability of multicast handling, the network should have an active IGMP querier. -
Page 20: Cco Settings
2.2 CCo Settings Figure 11 Configured PLC Role - CCo, Not CCo, Auto In the Flowire web interface, each Flowire unit has a setting for CCo (Central Coordinator). In every Flowire network, there is always one CCo, but this is, by default, automatically selected. If the CCo should fail, another Flowire unit on the network is automatically selected to be CCo. -
Page 21: C: Software Upgrade
C: Software Upgrade Depending on how old the current software on the Flowire device is, upgrade procedures are carried out differently. If the current software version is 4.x, upgrades can be done in one of two ways: ● Intercom Management Tool (VS-IMT) on the PC (see “C.1 Upgrading via VS-IMT on PC”) ●... - Page 22 After the Flowire devices have been discovered: ● Select all Flowire devices ● Click NEXT twice, skipping STEP 2 Identify stations ● Make sure the correct Flowire software is selected. ● CTRL+Click to select multiple devices for upgrade A100K11422 Flowire Converter Configuration Manual...
