Introducing the Interchange™
Interchange allows remote access to your partyline intercom through JK Audio
Innkeeper Series Digital Hybrids. This professional half rack interface provides a
four wire audio interface and remote control connection for JK Audio innkeeper
LTD, innkeeper 1x/1rx, or innkeeper 2 Digital Hybrids for POTS lines. Likewise,
couple a JK Audio PBXport with an Interchange for PBX/VoIP lines. The front
panel headset interface jack allows easy connection of your mobile phone, tablet,
or computer allowing remote access through a wireless phone or conferencing
app.
Interchange contains a sophisticated intercom hybrid in a low noise pro audio
design. The Listen-Always design allows both the phone hybrid / 4-wire
connection and the mobile phone headset interface to monitor the intercom just
like any other belt pack. Listen mode is a high impedance bridging tap on the
intercom line. Talk mode is enabled via a front panel switch, either Off, On, or
Auto. Auto follows the phone hybrid Auto-Answer mode. Talk mode uses a solid
state relay to properly couple Talk audio from the phone line and mobile phone
interfaces, to the intercom channel.
The Innkeeper 2 conference feature allows two callers to share one intercom
connection. Alternatively, the included cables allow Line 1 and Line 2 of the
Innkeeper 2 to be connected to two separate Interchange™ units, allowing
connection to separate intercom loops.

The position of the three position toggle switch determines when
Interchange will send audio into the Party Line intercom.

position with the headset interface, or as a general purpose 4-wire interface.

sent into the Party Line intercom.
Down = Auto: Talk function follows the hook state of the innkeeper Phone
Hybrid.
2. Intercom Channel

Start by Connecting to the Intercom
1. Set the Talk switch to the Off position, and the Com switch to the desired
channel.
2. Connect Interchange to your intercom network using one or both of the
Intercom XLR jacks.
3. As soon as Interchange becomes connected to the intercom system, the
Power LED will light, and the Com LEDs will indicate any audio signal
present on the intercom channel.
If using a Mobile Device (If using a phone line, please skip to page 6.)
1. Connect one of the supplied mobile device adaptor cords between the front
panel Headset Interface jack and your mobile phone headset jack.
2. Using your mobile phone, place a call to a remote location. You should be
able to immediately monitor the intercom signal from the remote location.
3. Adjust the Headset Interface Send level control for desired signal level at the
remote location.
4. Change the Talk toggle switch to the Talk position to allow the remote
location to be heard on the intercom channel.
5. The return audio path from the remote location into the intercom can be
adjusted two ways. The front panel Headset Interface Receive level control
provides adjustment suitable for most mobile devices. However, most mobile
devices also have a headphone level control which works along with the
Interchange controls.
6. It is best to set the headphone level on your mobile device rst, then set
the level on Interchange for nal adjustment. This signal will appear on
the Interchange Phone LEDs. Not necessarily on the Com LEDs. Monitor
receive levels by listening on an intercom belt pack.
Com Balance with Headset Interface
Interchange features an active hybrid to separate the unbalanced 2-wire
wire intercom audio channel into separate (4-wire) send and receive
audio paths. While nominal separation is achieved with typical operation,
the separation can be ne tuned if the intercom loop offers additional
challenges. Perform the tuning operation when the intercom network is
not in use. Using your mobile device, play or generate a xed level tone or
white noise into the intercom system. Adjust the signal level to 0 dB on the
Interchange Phone LED display. Be sure that the Talk control switch is in
the Talk position. Adjust the Com Balance control while observing the Com
LEDs, to nd the minimum (the position where the fewest Com LEDs are lit).
Remove the test signal and proceed with normal operation.
