AtlasIED IP-DM – PoE+ Indoor Wall Mount LCD Endpoint with Talkback

Product Overview

The AtlasIED IP-DM is a PoE+-powered indoor wall mount LCD endpoint with integrated talkback microphone, designed for enterprise IP paging and mass notification systems. Part of the AtlasIED IPX Series, the IP-DM registers directly as a communication endpoint within InformaCast, SA-Announce, and GCK Advanced Notification platforms, delivering synchronized visual text alerts alongside audio paging in a single commercial-grade unit. It is purpose-built for high-ambient-noise environments and large spaces where reliable IP paging endpoint coverage is required, including government buildings, healthcare facilities, education campuses, and transportation hubs.

Product Description

The IP-DM combines a high-resolution multi-color LCD display with a built-in talkback microphone, enabling both visual notification and two-way communication from a single wall-mounted device. Powered via IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (or an optional 24VDC local power supply), the unit eliminates the need for dedicated power runs to each endpoint, simplifying installation in standard commercial network infrastructure. The display leverages Network Time Protocol (NTP) to function as a synchronized clock in standby mode, then transitions to scrolling text notifications during active alert broadcasts—removing the need for a separate master clock system.

In addition to visual signaling, the IP-DM provides dual audio outputs: a line level output compatible with AtlasIED AA, PA, DPA, and CP series amplifiers for driving 25V, 70.7V, or 100V distributed speaker zones, plus two channels of 15W RMS at 8Ω amplified output for directly driving external speakers. The unit includes two GPI inputs and one GPI output (2A @ 30VDC) for integration with third-party control systems, access control panels, or emergency trigger devices. Auto-provisioning via SLP, DHCP Option 72, or IEDNet+ makes initial deployment straightforward within supported notification platforms. The 18-gauge metal enclosure is finished in neutral white electrostatic powder coat and ships with mounting hardware. Flush-mount (IP-FEC-DM) and surface-mount (IP-SEC-DM) enclosures are sold separately. The IP-DM meets ADA Title II requirements for effective visual communication for all individuals. Available from Creation Networks with full pre-sales support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the IP-DM require a dedicated power supply?

A: No. The IP-DM draws power from an IEEE 802.3at PoE+ network switch, which is the standard deployment method. It also supports IEEE 802.3af PoE switches for lower-power configurations, or a local 24VDC external power supply where PoE is unavailable.

Q: Which notification platforms is the IP-DM compatible with?

A: The IP-DM registers natively as a communication endpoint in Singlewire InformaCast, Syn-Apps SA-Announce, and AtlasIED GCK Advanced Notification applications. It supports Cisco SRST for survivable remote site operation.

Q: Can the IP-DM drive speakers directly without an external amplifier?

A: Yes. The IP-DM includes two channels of 15W RMS amplified output at 8Ω for driving external speakers directly in smaller zones. For larger distributed speaker runs using 25V, 70.7V, or 100V systems, a line level output is provided for connection to external amplifiers such as the AtlasIED CP series.

Q: What enclosures are compatible with the IP-DM?

A: The IP-DM is sold without an enclosure. Two options are available separately: the IP-FEC-DM for flush (in-wall) mounting and the IP-SEC-DM for surface (on-wall) mounting. Both are available at Creation Networks.

Q: How is the IP-DM provisioned on an enterprise network?

A: The IP-DM supports auto-registration via SLP for Singlewire applications, DHCP Option 72 for Syn-Apps applications, and IEDNet+ for AtlasIED applications. Static registration is available through an HTTP-based GUI for manual configuration.

Q: Is the IP-DM compliant with ADA requirements?

A: Yes. The IP-DM is designed to meet Title II of the ADA requirements for effective communication with individuals with disabilities by providing synchronized visual text notifications alongside audio alerts.

Q: What is the warranty period for the IP-DM?

A: AtlasIED provides a 60-month (5-year) warranty from the date of purchase on the IP-DM. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for support and warranty service.
