  • Page 30: Chapter 3 Trulink Access Point

    TRULINK ACCESS POINT OVERVIEW The TruLink Access Point (TAP) is used as either the long-range radio interface or as an interface to a wired ICS. It is typically used for fixed installations. One TPT SLAVE and one TAP MASTER, as shown in Figure 3.1-1, constitute a network.
  • Page 31: Physical Description

    E L E P H O N I C S O R P O R A T I O N O M M U N I C A T I O N Y S T E M S I V I S I O N PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The TAP is powered by DC power from the host vehicle.

  • Page 33: Data Connectors

    When the TAP is configured for use with a wired intercom system, this procedure must be employed to eliminate echo in the TruLink system caused by the wired ICS station’s sidetone. The following procedure usually is required only during a wired system installation or replacement of a wired system intercom station.

  • Page 37: Chapter 4 Trulink Dual Port Transceiver

    Y S T E M S I V I S I O N CHAPTER 4 TRULINK DUAL PORT TRANSCEIVER OVERVIEW The Dual Port Transceiver (DPT) is typically employed for temporary connections to wired intercom systems. When connected to the wired system, it acts like a TAP and is usually the network master.
  • Page 38: Physical Description

    Please refer to that section for details. Note Rechargeable batteries (NiMH) must be removed from the DPT and charged in a commercial battery charger. The TruLink Support Station, 780-3000-001, cannot be employed to charge the DPT’s batteries. TM115007 REV A (04/07)
  • Page 39: Ics Interface

    When the DPT is configured for use with a wired intercom system, this procedure must be employed to eliminate echo in the TruLink system caused by the station’s sidetone. This procedure will eliminate echo on a TPT when a DPT is connected to a wired system.
