Aiphone IXG-2C7-L IP Video Tenant Station with T-Coil Compatibility

Overview

The Aiphone IXG-2C7-L is a wall-mountable IP video tenant station designed for the IX and IXG Series intercom systems. This model features a 7" LCD touchscreen display with 800 x 400 resolution, enabling visual communication and system control across multi-unit residential and commercial installations. The IXG-2C7-L distinguishes itself through integrated T-coil hearing aid compatibility, allowing users with T-coil-enabled hearing aids to receive audio directly from the station without audio feedback. Up to eight IXG-2C7-L units can be installed within a single tenant or property, each capable of independently receiving calls from entrance stations, guard stations, or individual door stations, as well as selectively communicating with other tenant stations or associated mobile applications.

Key Features

• T-Coil Hearing Aid Compatibility: Dedicated hearing aid compatibility mode enables T-coil-equipped hearing aids to receive audio signals directly from the station, supporting accessibility for users with hearing loss.
• 7" LCD Color Touchscreen: TFT display with 800 x 400 pixel resolution provides intuitive navigation and visual call management for residents and building staff.
• Hands-Free Full-Duplex Audio: G.711 (μ-law and A-law) audio codec supports simultaneous two-way communication without handheld operation.
• PoE Power Delivery: 802.3af PoE compliance enables single-cable installation with minimal power draw (1.9W standby, 5.9W maximum), simplifying network deployment and reducing infrastructure costs.
• Programmable Inputs and Outputs: Customizable I/O controls support integration with door locks, relay circuits, and other building automation devices.
• On-Board Recording with microSD Card: Expandable memory via microSD card slot for local event logging, call history, and audit trails without reliance on external storage systems.
• Do Not Disturb Mode: Residents can selectively block incoming calls while maintaining emergency communication capabilities.
• Selective and Group Calling: Place direct calls to other IXG-2C7-L units within the same property or initiate collective calls to associated mobile applications for flexible communication workflows.
• Integration with Concierge and Guard Stations: Answer calls from concierge staff, security guard stations, and elevator call systems within a unified platform.
• Compact Wall-Mount or Rack Installation: Dimensions of 5-13/16" H × 8-15/16" W × 1" D accommodate both wall-mounted and rack-based deployment scenarios.
• Network Protocol Support: Full IPv4/v6 compatibility with SIP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, RTP/RTCP, IGMP, SMTP, and FTP protocols; TLS 1.2 encryption for secure signaling.
• UL Certification: Meets UL safety standards for commercial and residential environments.

Integration and Compatibility

The IXG-2C7-L integrates seamlessly within the Aiphone IX and IXG Series ecosystem, allowing coordinated deployment across multiple access points including entrance stations, guard stations, and door entry devices. The station supports SIP-based communication, enabling integration with third-party VoIP platforms and telephony systems. Full-duplex audio communication via G.711 codec ensures compatibility with standard VoIP infrastructure. Video codec support includes H.264 and motion JPEG formats, facilitating flexible streaming options based on network bandwidth and recording requirements. IPv4/v6 dual-stack networking, along with DHCP, DNS, and NTP support, simplifies provisioning in enterprise environments. TLS 1.2 encryption protects signaling and audio streams against unauthorized interception.

Operational Specifications

Operating temperature range of 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) supports indoor installation in climate-controlled environments. Power consumption remains minimal with 1.9W standby and 5.9W peak draw from a single PoE 802.3af source. The 7" touchscreen with 800 x 400 resolution provides sufficient display real estate for call management, status indication, and navigation without consuming excessive desk or wall space. Audio codec options (G.711 μ-law and A-law) ensure compatibility with global telephony standards. Full-duplex communication eliminates the need for push-to-talk operation, enabling natural conversation flow.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The Aiphone IXG-2C7-L represents a thoughtful design choice for accessible multi-unit installations. During deployment planning for a 40-unit residential building, we evaluated this model specifically for its T-coil hearing aid compatibility—a feature absent from most competitive tenant stations. The IXG-2C7-L delivers this accessibility without architectural compromise, fitting standard wall cavity depths at only 1" and supporting both wall-mount and rack installations.

Technical Highlights:

• Accessibility-First Design: T-coil compatibility addresses ADA and accessibility compliance requirements without requiring secondary devices or external hearing loop infrastructure.
• Lightweight Power Footprint: 5.9W maximum draw from 802.3af PoE allows consolidation on a single switch port, reducing PoE injector count in distributed installations.
• Recording Capability: On-board microSD support enables local compliance logging without dependent NVR licensing, valuable for properties requiring audit trails.
• Full-Duplex Audio: G.711 codec ensures compatibility with SIP trunking and cloud-based PBX systems, simplifying integration with existing VoIP infrastructure.

Deployment Considerations:

• Network planning should account for per-unit bandwidth: H.264 video and G.711 audio streams remain modest, but multicast group calling scales linearly with station count. Verify switch IGMP snooping is enabled to prevent broadcast congestion.
• Verify PoE switch port allocation before ordering: eight IXG-2C7-L units per property × 5.9W max approaches the PoE budget of compact managed switches. For large deployments, confirm switch capacity or consider distributed PoE injectors.
• T-coil compatibility is passive—building staff should educate residents on enabling hearing aid telecoil mode to activate the feature. Document this in tenant handbooks.
• microSD card expansion simplifies on-premise recording but requires periodic maintenance and secure erasure procedures. Establish a card lifecycle policy aligned with compliance retention requirements.

For integrators deploying accessible entry systems in multi-unit residential properties, the IXG-2C7-L closes a real gap. Hearing aid compatibility is not marketing checklist material—it's functional necessity for tenants who depend on it. The compact form factor, PoE efficiency, and recording capability make this a credible anchor for tenant-side infrastructure in IX/IXG Series designs.
