    AZedit Description AZedit is automatically configured to work on any Telex intercom system. This means that if you have an ADAM CS intercom system, AZedit will display only resources available in your intercom system. On the other hand, if you have a multi-frame ADAM intercom system, AZedit will still display all of the resources that are configured to be available in your system.

  • Page 9: Getting Started

    Getting Started The AZedit software comes with either two 3.5" floppy disks or a CD, used to install the application onto a central computer. Minimum Requirements for Software Installation Pentium Processor 64 MB Ram Note: The larger the intercom system the more RAM is required to run the software effectively.

    AZedit afterward. Once you have done this, your setup files will automatically be set to the same settings as the master controller and AZedit. The only time where a user might not want all 3 settings to match is when configuring several independent intercom systems.
  • Page 11 The upload of the setup file begins. You will see a status bar until it is finished uploading the data. Once the file is uploaded the word FILE appears in the lower right-hand corner of the main AZedit window Otherwise, click Cancel to cancel the upload and return to the main AZedit screen.
  • Page 12 The Communications screen closes. By default, AZedit is set for COM1 and 38,400 kbps (38.4 K baud). The baud rate set in AZedit MUST match the baud rate setting of the master controllers in the ADAM or ADAM CS frame (DIP Switch #1). The 38,400 kbps setting provides the fastest possible file uploads and downloads, but you may experience more communication errors operating at this speed than at a lower baud rate setting.

  • Page 13: Master Controller Intercom Configuration

    If you add more hardware later (More Audio I/O Cards, for example) you will have to readjust your master controller and AZedit configuration settings. Changing settings in the master controller can take up to 10 minutes. You may also have to reconfigure your setup files. This may require 2-3 minutes per file if you have several files.

  • Page 14: Procedure To Change The Master Controller Intercom Configuration Settings

    Procedure to change the master controller intercom configuration settings AZedit Intercom Configuration Settings Initially, AZedit defines the quantity for each resource and option. However, these quantities may be changed to fit your intercom system. To assure you are viewing the intercom configuration for the application, and not for a setup file or the master controller, do the following: If you have been working on a setup file in FILE mode, save any changes you have made.
