Page 4: Product Description
Product Description 1.1 General Description The Flowire Converter enables Ethernet to run on the same two wires as power, providing simpler cabling and opening up for longer cable hauls. The Flowire converter is also capable of powering the Ethernet devices (Vingtor-Stentofon IP intercom stations) attached to it via spare pairs.

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 13: Power Requirements
4.2 Power Requirements A Flowire Converter needs at least 18V to operate, nominal voltage is 24V to 48V, and maximum voltage is 56V. The voltage at the remote Flowire Converter should never drop below half of the PSU’s output voltage. To power a Vingtor-Stentofon IP Intercom Station through its Ethernet port, we recommend at least 40V at the remote site. -
Page 14: 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. The PoE voltage can be read on the device’s web interface: ●... - Page 15 Select the log levels to log and to display. The Mode dropdown box selects where the log is recorded. If Local is selected the log will be saved in the local memory. If Remote is selected the log will be sent to the syslog server that is set up in Server IP Address. If Both is selected the syslog will be stored locally and sent to the syslog server.
