To ensure best microphone and loudspeaker placement (ceiling- or wall-mount),please use the following guidelines. For more information on Room Design, or to view the RAV online training course,visit www.clearone.com.
Microphones
Center mic pods on the table at an equal distance apart. Place the controller on the same table as the mics. In typical conferencing environments,participants should be seated 4–8' from a mic pod.
Mic pick-up range is dependent on room conditions. Background noise, reflective hard surfaces and the number of participants may affect the pick-up range. Use the following guidelines for best placement of your RAV mic pods and then adjust for your specific room conditions.

Digital phones
If you have a digital (PBX) telephone service, you need to run an analog extension from the PBX (recommended for best performance) or use a digital-to-analog telephone line converter. For more information, contact ClearOne Technical Support.
Note: If you connect the RAV through a digital-to-analog line converter, you will not be able to use the tabletop controller or the RAV-Ware dialing interface to make calls.You will instead need to dial from the digital phone. The phone handset must be kept off hook for the duration of the call.
To connect to a digital phone
1. Connect one end of the telephone cable into the telephone line on the back of the mixer and the other end into the digital-to-analog converter.
2. Connect the converter's power adapter into an electrical outlet.
3. Connect a second telephone cable from the converter to a PBX phone. Consult the converter user manual for more information.

RAV-Ware overview
ClearOne’s RAV-Ware software provides an easy interface for configuring system settings and customizing the audio in your RAV 600/900 conferencing system. While the RAV system is designed to work out of the box for audio conferencing, RAV-Ware is required to adjust audio levels and equalizer settings for the RAV components as well as the auxiliary audio devices. Once installed,RAV-Ware allows configuration locally through USB or RS-232 con­nection, or remotely through the Ethernet connection.
Menus and Toolbar: Easily create,open or save files, find RAV systems on the network, add phonebook entries, configure regional settings and view the event log.
Connections: Lists available units connected through serial or USB ports, or on the network.
Device Toolbox: Lists common brands of auxiliary audio produc ts (video codecs, sound
cards, VCRs and amplifiers).The audio settings for these devices have been optimized for use with the RAV system.
Configuration Screen: Quickly access the configuration windows for the RAV system by clicking the icons.
Online/Offline Indicator: Shows connection status of RAV-Ware (online/offline) and the name of the connected unit.
Status Indicators: Status for Communications (green = online, red = offline),Telephone In Use (red = not in use, green = in use) and Mic Mute (red = mute).

Controller
Controller doesn't communicate with the mixer
The RF Controller performs best when the RAV mixer is positioned within line of sight and with the antenna pointed up. Check the signal strength indicator in all areas of the room where the controller will be used.The signal strength indicator is on the LCD screen and the maximum number of bars is four.
For optimal RF connectivity, make sure the signal strength measures two or four bars in all operating locations.You can also use the RF Radio Test function on the Controller for a more detailed signal strength measurement. Refer to page 59 for more information.
To improve signal strength
• Verify that the mixer is within line of site
• Install mixer in the top space of the equipment rack
• Ensure the antenna is pointed up
• Do not install the mixer in a metal cabinet
You can also purchase a remote mount antenna to improve the signal strength when the mixer is located in a different room or in an enclosed metal cabinet. Part number:910-153-050
Be sure the frequency setting on the controller is the same as the frequency setting in RAV­Ware.
Cannot assign a speed dial number
Any phone numbers entered using the Controller are automatically assigned to speed dial location 0. Access RAV-Ware to assign speed dial numbers.

Audio
No dial tone
Ensure that the RJ-11 cable is connected to an analog line. Make sure the phone cable is connected to the Line jack, not the Set jack. If you are connected to a digital line through a telephone handset, take the handset off-hook.Run a sys tem diagnostic check through RAV­Ware to be sure all RAV components are working properly.
RAV does not ring
Adjust the volume of the ringer. Check that the RJ-11 cable is connected.Verify that the dialed phone number is correct.
Muffled reception
Do not move the microphone pods while on a call.Move any items that might be blocking the microphones. Move closer to the microphones.
Far-end party cannot hear
Check the connections of all audio inputs. Check the Audio Mixer in RAV-Ware to make sure the correct audio paths are selected. Adjust the volume of the audio outputs.
Short silences, echoes or clipped speech on the far end
Adjust the equalization in RAV-Ware for each component.
Adjust the volume. Watch the meters. Make sure the loudest audio causes the meters to just enter the yellow zone.
Be sure equipment is placed correctly for the best sound performance.Refer to Chapter 1 for basic room design guidelines.

Speakers
Neither speakers play
Check that the wires are properly connected. Check the audio mixer in RAV-Ware to ensure the audio is routed to the loudspeakers.
Bass and treble are weak
Check the equalization for the loudspeakers in RAV-Ware.
Only one speaker plays
Check the equalization for the loudspeakers in RAV-Ware. Check the wires connected to the speaker that does not play.Be sure the wires are in good condition and are firmly connected.
One speaker still does not play
Disconnect the wires from both the speaker and the mixer. Disconnect the other wire from its speaker and connect that end of the wire to the speaker that doesn't play. If the speaker still doesn't play, the problem is in the speaker. If the speaker now plays,continue checking for the source of the problem. Disconnect the same wire from the mixer. Connect it to another output. If the speaker plays, the problem is the original wire that was connected to that speaker.

The RAV 600 and RAV 900 accept serial commands through the telnet, RS-232 serial port or USB.The commands in this manual pertain only to the RAV 600 and RAV 900. RS-232 serial port protocol is 9,600, 19,200,38,400, 57,600 (default) or 115,200 baud; 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Conventions
The following typographic conventions are used in this document to describe the different serial commands. Use the Command structure section and the examples as a guide when creating your serial commands.
Convention Description
<X> Parameters enclosed in < > indicate a mandator y parameter. [X] Parameters enclosed in [ ] indicate an optional parameter. 1-8 Parameters separated by a hyphen (-) indicate a range between the
values.
4,7,9 Parameters separated by a comma (,) indicate a list of available values. BAUD Words in uppercase bold indicate command text.
DEVICE
Indicates the device type and device ID.
Command structure
Commands can be either UPPERCASE or lowercase.Also, extra spaces or tabs between arguments in text commands are allowed.Return values are always uppercase. In order for a command to be recognized by the serial port, the command must be terminated by a car­riage return.
The structure of serial commands is as follows:#TYPE DEVICE COMMAND [X] [X] # indicates the start of a command line DEVICE represents the device type and device number COMMAND is the command text [X] [X] represents any additional options in the order that they appear in the
command descriptions that follow
* placed in the Type ID or Device ID fields, the command applies to all
units or all devices respectively.
Example
A command to disable automatic gain control for Mic 2 on a RAV 600 device “0” will have the command line: #90 AGC 2 M 0.In this command line, 9=RAV 600, 0=unit 0, AGC=command, 2=channel,M=Mic Inpu t group, 0=off state. If a command calls for a “null” value, leave a blank in the command line. For example, “#90 AGC 2 M”will return the current AGC state of Mic 2 on device 90.
Command responses will have a carriage return line feed.For example, #90 AGC 2 M O car­riage return line feed.
Groups and channels
The following tables define the relationship between alpha and numeric representations.Text commands use the alpha designation, and binar y commands use the numeric. In addition, dif­ferent groups have different allowable channel ranges.
