TELOS INFINITY BP-2
Digital Intercom Beltpack
INTRODUCTION
The INF-BP-2 is a dual communication channel digital Beltpack that includes the additional ability
to monitor an auxiliary program audio feed. Unlike traditional analog intercom beltpacks, each
communication channel may be configured to be part of a partyline, group, IFB, or a point to point contact
regardless of the physical connection of the device to the supporting network.
The BP-2 connects over a supporting 100Mbps Ethernet network with 24-bit/48 KHz uncompressed
digital audio carried as Audio over IP (AoIP) using the Livewire+
AES67 industry standard.
®
The BP-2 is powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) either directly from the network switch or via an
external PoE source. Additionally, multiple BP-2 beltpacks may be daisy-chained from the network
switch to one another.

Page 7: Use Cases
USE CASES Basic 2-channel Party Line system The BP-2 ships from the factory pre-configured for a 2-channel Party Line system. To use a 2-channel Party Line system, simply plug the beltpacks into an Ethernet switch that includes DHCP server capability and supplies Power over Ethernet (PoE). It’s that simple! - Page 8 To configure the unit for a fixed IP address If a switch that includes a DHCP server is not available, then the BP-2 units must be configured for fixed, or static, IP addresses. The simplest way to accomplish this is to use the unit’s webpage. This can be either access via the Dashboard control application, or directly if you know the address of the beltpack.
- Page 9 USE CASES Adding a Program Source for monitoring Dashboard running on a Windows PC will also be required to do this, along with a method to get the audio on to the AoIP network, such as an Analog xNode offered by the Telos Alliance. 1.
