IP Intercom/Paging

IP7-SE8 Getting Started Guide

1

Introduction The IP7-SE8 IP Intercom/Paging endpoint provides high quality 2-way audio from TalkMaster™ software over an IP network. The internal audio amplifier can drive a maximum of 8 watts to one or more speakers. It supports a Talk switch and includes a Relay, a Door Sensor and an integrated 2-port switch. Powers options include Power Over Ethernet (PoE - 802.3af compatible) and external 12-15VDC This Getting Started booklet covers basic hardware installation and software configuration of the IP7-SE8.

IP7-SE8 Installation

Important Installation Guidelines

• Choose 18-22 AWG wire for speaker connections. Select wire gauge suited to minimize power loss for specific distribution method and wire run distances

• Do not install near power distribution equipment or noise generating equipment such as stepper motors

• Conform to industry standard practices for grounding

• Use shielded, twisted pair wire for microphone signals. Avoid sharing AC power and audio signals in conduit runs

Please refer to the IP7-SE8 Reference Manual available on the TALKMASTER SOFTWARE CD for additional information on installation and setup

Relay Options • An integrated Relay uses J3-2, with J3-1 (Normally Open)

or J3-3 (Normally Closed). Use TalkMaster™ to configure the options

Sensor Options • The integrated Sensor can be used to monitor the status

of a door by connecting J3-5 and J3-6 to a contact closure sense switch. Use TalkMaster™ to configure the options

Power Options Use one of the following methods for powering the IP7 device: • Power over Ethernet (PoE - 802.3af compliant) - requires

15.4 Watts from Power Source Equipment (PSE) • 12VDC - 15VDC at 15 watts via J1-1 and J1-2 connectors

(polarity independent) • 12VDC -15VDC at 15 watts via the Aux Power 2.1mm

barrel connector An external power supply, if detected, overrides PoE power

6

Network Installation • Connect an RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet 10/100

connector and a network switch or directly to a PC for configuration

• After the Ethernet 10/100 is connected, another IP device can be connected to Port 2 10/100

Mounting Instructions The IP7 series is design to be mounted on standard 35mm DIN rail or surface mounted using the optional surface mounting plate. • DIN Rail Clip – Tilt top of unit (J1, J2 connectors facing up

with Volume buttons facing forward) back towards the DIN Rail until the IP7-SE8 DIN clip catches the top of the rail. Press in at the bottom of the IP7-SE8 to snap into place.

• Surface Mount Plate – Snap the optional surface mount plate in half and secure it to the back of the frame using the provided screws so that the mounting holes extend past the edges of the case

TalkMaster™ LE Software is a Windows® application used to configure and manage Digital Acoustics IP7™ and ii3™ Intercoms and Paging endpoints. Primary functions include user controls for inbound/outbound calls and paging. An integrated configuration utility is also included to set Options and IP Addresses for individual endpoints.

Prepare for Intercom Configuration • Refer to the previous section to power up and connect the

IP7 series device to the network.

• Record the unique ID# from the bottom of the Intercom (or Paging) endpoint(s) and note the location where it will be installed

• Install the TalkMaster Software using the Digital Acoustics’ Software CD, or online at www.digitalacoustics.com

Please refer to the TalkMaster Reference Manual on the TALKMASTER SOFTWARE CD for

additional information on installation and software i

Configure the devices

• Start TalkMaster and click menu option Admin Enable Admin

• Enter the default password

admin • To verify the latest version is

being used optional click

Admin Check for new versions online

• Click menu option Admin Configure Intercoms

A new screen is displayed while TalkMaster searches the network for about 15 seconds. TalkMaster will display a list of all ii3 and IP7 devices on the current network segment

• Click on the Intercom to be configured (the “Icom ID” column will match to the Intercom’s ID# previously recorded)

10

• Check the Assign

IP automatically with DHCP box, or uncheck it to assign the device a static IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway

• Enter a descriptive name for the Intercom into the Location Name field. This name should be unique to help easily identify the Intercom or Paging endpoint

• Enter the IP Address of the PC running TalkMaster that the Intercom will connect to by checking the Assign this PC address as client’s server box or uncheck it to enter a different PC’s IP address in Server IP, and Click Apply. Repeat for each Intercom

• To review all changes, press Search again

Additional IP7 Configuration options

Input Source (IP7 series only) • Microphone – Assigns a Microphone as audio source • Line In -Assigns Line In connector as audio source

Remote Listen Disable - Used for Paging endpoints to disable Taskmaster’s™ Listen button operation

Call Button - Changes the default action of the Intercom’s Talk switch. Pressing Talk sends a Call Announcement signal to TalkMaster, instead of the Intercom user’s voice

Relay Options • Door Open - adds a software button to TalkMaster™ to

activate the Relay to operate an electronic door strike • PTT - Activates the Relay during station ‘Talk’ • Activate on Speaker and/or Mic - activates the Relay

while the audio channel is active in TalkMaster™ Sensor Options

• Active Closed when J3-5 is closed to ground • Active Open when J3-5 is open to ground

Using TalkMaster LE

• Intercom (and paging) endpoints will automatically appear in the main display listing of TalkMaster (active on the computer specified in Server IP)

• The PC microphone is used to send audio to an

intercom. The audio from an intercom can be heard on the PC’s speakers

• To call an Intercom, select it by clicking in the display listing

13

• Click and hold the Talk button, or press and hold the Space Bar to speak to the Intercom

• Release the Talk button or Space Bar to listen

• Click the Listen button,

or press the Escape key to end the call

• Pressing the Intercom’s Talk button will sound an audible alarm in TalkMaster to announce incoming calls

• All incoming calls will be listed in the Calls Waiting list.

A call is “in session” until removed from the Calls Waiting list by clicking the Listen button, or pressing the Escape key
