The Bogen VoIP Speakers are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Use an 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet Switch, or a PoE
injector adapter (IEEE 802.3af compliant) for each VoIP Speaker.
The VoIP Speakers need to be configured with an IP Address, netmask,
and Primary Quantum IP Address.

The VoIP Speakers (Models WBS810QIP and S810QIP) will only
operate on a Bogen Quantum Multicom IP system (Quantum System)
running Quantum Node (QSPC1) and Quantum Commander software
version 1.3.0 or newer.

Configuring a VoIP Speaker is a 3-step process:

1. Configure IP Address information (DHCP or static. DHCP stands
for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.)

2. Configure Primary Quantum IP Address

3. Configure Station Type and Architecture Number

1.1

Configure IP Address Information

If using a DHCP server to provide IP Addresses to the VoIP Speakers, proceed to

Section 1.1.1,

Configure VoIP Speakers using DHCP

.

If using and configuring Static IP Addresses on the VoIP Speakers, proceed to

Section 1.1.2,

Configure VoIP Speakers Using Static IP Addresses

.

1.1.1

Configure VoIP Speakers Using DHCP

1. Setup a DHCP server to provide IP Addresses to the VoIP Speakers in the network. Consult

the facility’s Information Technology (IT) department if required, as IT departments are usually
responsible for operating DHCP servers. For convenience during VoIP Speaker configuration,
install a DHCP server on a Windows PC that will be used to configure VoIP Speakers.

This document will use IP Addresses in the range 10.10.10.2 through 10.10.10.5, with the
Windows PC IP Address set to 10.10.10.10.

IMPORTANT: The DHCP server must be configured to always provide the same IP Address to
the VoIP Speaker. This is usually accomplished by mapping the device’s MAC Address to a
permanent IP Address. If the DHCP server is not configured to provide the same IP Address,
and if the VoIP Speaker is assigned a different address than the address it had while being
configured with Quantum Commander, the VoIP Speaker will not be available to the Quantum
system (until it receives the same address from the DHCP, or is reconfigured).

2. The VoIP Speaker is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). Connect the Windows PC and

VoIP Speaker to a PoE switch.

3. After the VoIP Speaker has been plugged into the PoE switch, it will take about a minute for
the VoIP Speaker to boot, start, and obtain its IP Address from the DHCP server. Proceed to

Section 1.2, Configure Primary Quantum IP Address

, to continue the configuration process.

Getting Started

1.1.2

Configure VoIP Speakers Using Static IP Addresses

1. Connect the Windows PC and VoIP Speaker to an 802.3af compliant PoE switch, or a

PoE injector adapter (IEEE 802.3af compliant), for each VoIP Speaker.

2. Configure the Windows PC IP Address as 10.16.2.2, with Gateway IP Address as 10.16.2.1.

3. Use a web browser to open the VoIP Speaker Configuration Login Page

(Figure 1-1)

. Enter

the following into the browser’s address bar: http://10.16.2.1:8080.

4. Enter the Login Page sign-in credentials:
Username: maint Password: bogen

After entering the Username and Password, click
Submit. The VoIP Speaker Configuration window
(Java-applet) will open

(Figure 1-2)

.

5. Change the DHCP option from “On” to “Off” to
configure static IP Addresses.

NOTE: If after selecting “Off”, a popup screen
appears that says: “Cannot edit Speaker IP when
Primary IP is present. Please un-configure Primary IP from
Utility.” This alerts you to the fact that the speaker is
already configured and must first be un-configured
before you can proceed. See Section 3, How to
Un-configure a VoIP Speaker, for details on how to
un-configure the speaker.

If the VoIP Speaker Configuration Login Page above does not display, wait one minute, try again.

(Fig.1-1)

(Fig.1-2)

✍

After the VoIP Speaker has been plugged into the PoE switch, it will take about a minute for the
VoIP Speaker to boot. Each VoIP Speaker will then repeatedly attempt to get an IP Address from
a DHCP server for one minute. After trying for one minute, the speaker will configure itself with a
default IP Address (10.16.2.1) and default Gateway IP Address (10.16.2.2).

NOTE: Only one speaker can be configured at a time using this IP address assignment process.
Connecting two or more un-configured IP speakers to the network without a DHCP server will cause
duplicate IP addresses and conflicts.

Getting Started

NOTE: If the DHCP “On” option is selected, you will not be able to edit the fields to configure
static address information.

6. Enter values for Speaker IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway, then click Save.The speaker
will automatically reboot and reconfigure the network interface.

NOTE: The VoIP Speaker will accept configuration commands for up to 15 minutes, after which
time it will reboot. It is important that you finish this step within 15 minutes. See Section 6.2.2,
Default IP Address Assignment, for further information on the 15 minute configuration time window.

✍

1.2

Configure Primary Quantum IP Address

After the VoIP Speakers’ IP Address have been configured (using static or DHCP), the next step
is to configure the VoIP Speaker with the Primary Quantum IP Address (the Quantum Node that
is currently set as Primary Node type in the network). All VoIP Speakers should use the same
Primary Quantum IP Address, even if the VoIP Speaker will be added to the Station List of
a different Quantum Node that is not the Primary Node in the network. One or more VoIP
Speakers can be configured at the same time.

1. You need to load the application called VoIP Speaker Locator onto the PC. Copy the file
named

VoIPSpeakerLocator.jar

to the Windows PC that will configure the VoIP Speaker(s).

2. Start the VoIP Speaker Locator application by double-clicking the VoIPSpeakerLocator.jar
icon on the desktop. After displaying a splash screen, the application will display the Device

Discovery Configuration Screen

(Figure 1-3)

.

3. Enter the Windows PC’s IP Address into the Utility IP Address field. This should be the IP

Address for the PC interface that is used to connect to the same network that the VoIP Speakers

are connected to (e.g., 10.10.10.10).

(Fig.1-3)

4. Enter a valid Utility Port Number between 4000 and 15000. This Port Number will be opened
on your PC for receiving discovery responses from VoIP Speakers. This document will use
Port 7000.

NOTE: If the VoIP Speaker Locator application is unable to discover any VoIP Speakers, ensure that
the specified Port Number is not being blocked by firewalls on your PC or network hardware.

5. Select Discover All from the Discover Option drop-down menu.

NOTE: If the “Discover Not Configured” option is selected, you will only be able to discover
VoIP Speakers that have not yet been configured. This is useful when there are some VoIP Speakers
in the network that have not yet been configured. This way, the application will only discover
the VoIP speakers that have not yet been configured. If not selected, the application will discover
all the speakers in the network (whether configured or not), requiring you to manually find and
mark the un-configured speakers from the list of discovered speakers (Figure 1-4).

6. Click the Discover button. The Discover button will be highlighted while the application is
discovering VoIP Speakers. If this is the first time you have pressed Discover since starting

the application, a dialog window will open when discovery is completed. The dialog box
will remind you that the Port Number cannot be changed while running the application.

If you need to change the Port Number, restart the application.

NOTE: If you receive the error “Invalid IP Address”, try entering a new/different IP Address.

NOTE: If you receive the error “Port values cannot be edited further,” you cannot change the
port number as it has already been configured.

NOTE: If you need to change the IP Address, utility port or discover option, you must restart the
application.

7. When the Discover button is no longer highlighted, click the Program Devices tab on the left

panel

(Figure 1-4)

to proceed to the Assign Primary Quantum IP Address to Devices screen.

A list of VoIP Speakers that have not yet been configured with a Primary Quantum IP Address

will be displayed.
