The Voice-over-IP (VoIP) Loudspeaker Amplifier (PoE) uses a single cable to connectto existing
LANs, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to broadcast messages over your public address system.
The small footprint and low height makes this an ideal loudspeaker amplifier to discreetly mount
almost anywhere.

PowerBlue/GreenThe power LED is illuminated a steady blue when the power is
on and blue/green when the amplifier is in the high power mode.
StatusGreenAfter supplying power to the loudspeaker amplifier:
1. The green Status LED illuminates after approximately five
seconds to indicate the start of the firmware verification and load
process.
2. After approximately 15 seconds, the Status LED begins to
blink at one second intervals to indicate the start of the firmware
boot process.
3. After approximately 35 seconds, the loudspeaker amplifier
beeps once to indicate that it is operational.
4. The Status LED will continue to blink at one second intervals
to indicate normal operation.
LinkGreen/Ye l l o wThe Link LED is illuminated green for a 10Mb link or
yellow/green for a 100Mb link when the network link to the

2.2.5 Confirm the IP Address, Test the Audio, and Check the Volume
When the loudspeaker amplifier is operational and linked to the network, use the Reset Test
Function Management (RTFM) switch (
and confirm the loudspeaker amplifier’s IP Address, test that the audio is working, and check the
volume.

2. Release the switch to hear the IP address announcement, and check the loudspeaker amplifier
volume.
Caution
Equipment Caution: Pressing and holding the RTFM switch for longer than
20 seconds will restore the loudspeaker amplifier to the factory default
settings. See
2.2.6 Adjust the Volume
To adjust the loudspeaker amplifier volume, turn the Vo l u m e dial (Figure 2-8) on the loudspeaker
amplifier face.
Section 2.5, "Restore the Factory Default Settings".
2.3 Configure the Loudspeaker Amplifier Parameters
To configure the loudspeaker amplifier online, use a standard web browser.
Configure each loudspeaker amplifier and verify its operation before you mount it. When you are
ready to mount a loudspeaker amplifier enclosure, refer to
instructions.
All loudspeaker amplifiers are initially configured with the default IP settings indicated inTable 2-7.
When configuring more than one loudspeaker amplifier, attach the loudspeaker amplifiers to the
network one at a time to avoid IP address conflicts.

NoteThe loudspeaker amplifier was designed for indoor use. Mounting it on the external part of
a building will require additional hardware for weatherproofing, cabling access, and
lightning suppression. Consult a certified electrician for details.
See Figure 3-1 to mount the enclosure.
NoteFor mounting, use the three #8 SHEET METAL SCREWS to secure the enclosure.

Upgrading the VoIP Loudspeaker Amplifier firmware requires a TFTP server on which you access
the Web interface where you can upload the firmware files.
4.0.1 In a LINUX Environment
To set up a TFTP server on LINUX:
1. Create a directory dedicated to the TFTP server, andmove the files to be uploaded to that
directory.
2. Run the following command where /tftpboot/ is the path to the directory you created in
Step 1: the directory that contains the files to be uploaded. For example:
29
in.tftpd -l -s /tftpboot/your_directory_name
4.0.2 In a Windows Environment
You can find several options online for setting up a Windows TFTP server. This example explains
how to use the Solarwinds freeware TFTPserver, which you can download at:
3.Make a note ofthedefault directory name, and then move the firmware files to be uploaded to
that directory.
