Product Description

The Dual FFCS Interface Box for DisComm Audio Network (DcAN) is a device that can accommodate two simulated FFCS intercom devices such as eMDee part number 10806, or similar. This device is compatible with other devices that operate on the DisComm Audio Network.

The enclosure is made of aluminum and has front connectors for switch I/O and audio from a simulated intercom box. The unit is powered via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), however an auxillary power connector is also included on the back of the unit, where an external speaker can be connected.

The audio and I/O are converted to digital and interfaced through a network port from a locking RJ-45 connector on the back of the unit. This interfaces to the DisComm Audio Network using 1Gbps Ethernet allowing the use of standard network switches and Cat5e/Cat6 cabling.

Firmware Variants

-V1: This firmware variant is specifically designed to interface to a simulated VIC-3 FFCS intercom box with basic I/O for switches and headset audio. One example of a compatible device is the eMDee Technology part number 10806, which is a housing that mimics the size and look of a tactical intercom box, and has direct connections to the switches and headset connector.

There are three variants of the 10806 intercom box: -H1, -H2, and -H3. This interface box is compatible with all three of those variants. To simplify the connection between the 10806 intercom box and this device, eMDee Technology provides a wiring harness that is specifically built for this purpose (part number 11455).
