Gamewell-FCI INI-VGC Intelligent Network Interface Voice Gateway
The INI-VG Series (Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway) is a network interface with superior Audio and Command/Control that is used for E3 Series fire alarm and voice evacuation systems.
The modular design allows the INI-VG Series to be used in any type of system configuration to function as a voice network interface for any of the following:
• Fire Command Center
• Digital Audio Voice Transponder
• Analog Audio Voice Transponder
• Autonomous Control Unit (ACU) for Mass Notification
• Local Operating Console (LOC) for Mass Notification With a Class B signaling line circuit (SLC), the INI-VG can monitor and control up to sixteen AOM-TELF telephone modules to use with the fire fighter telephones or serve as value Local Operating Consoles (LOC).
In addition, it can support up to 16 AOM-2SF, signal output modules that can be used for distributed audio control.
Networked through single-mode fiber optics, multi-mode fiber optics, and/or twisted-pair wire, the INI-VG Series resides on the E3 Series and/or S3 Series network, represented as a node with fully independent control.
Each INI-VG Series provides its own internal recorded message storage that operates as a redundant backup in case another panel is no longer functional.
Each version of the INI-VG Series features a unique functionality that can operate as any of the following, depending on how each version is used with the application:
• Digital Audio Voice Transponder (INI-VGX) connects up to three main amplifiers and one backup amplifier to control over 150 watts of audio per board.
• Analog Audio Voice Transponder (INI-VGE) connects to analog bulk amplifiers and distributes audio using 16 AOM-2SF modules.
• Fire Command Center (INI-VGC) connects hand-held microphones and main firefighter telephones.

FAQ
What is the INI-VGC used for?
The INI-VGC provides command and control functions for the INCC Command Center, which typically also includes ASM-16 addressable switch modules and an INCC-MIC voice page microphone.
How many switches and LEDs can it support?
Each INI-VGC supports up to 16 ANU-48 LED driver modules or ASM-16s, for a total of 256 programmable switches and 768 tri-color LEDs.
How does it connect to the network?
It occupies one node on the E3 Broadband network over twisted unshielded pair (16 to 18 AWG, up to 3,000 ft between nodes), fiber, or both, using the FML-E3 multi-mode or FSL-E3 single-mode fiber module.
What power does it need?
24 VDC nominal from the PM-9 or PM-9G power supply, with an operating current of 0.150 A in supervisory and alarm.
