CHAPTER 1

Intr oduction

Overview

The ADHB-4 (Advanced Digital Headset Box - P/N PRD000262000) is easy to install and configure dispatch audio system

that adds microphone and speaker capabilities, in various forms, to a C-Soft console. The ADHB-4 replaces the sound card in

the PC, offering the flexibility of controlling a wider selection of audio options.

Audio input and output is routed to devices by connecting a combination of headsets, desk mic, speakers, or a telephone to the

unit. Electret and dynamic microphones are both supported. Additionally, a footswitch can be installed for hands-free

operation. The unit can be mounted on the desktop or below it. Standard cable connections are made directly to a PC, to access

C-Soft, and an Ethernet connection for firmware upgrades, and unit configuration.

Audio parameters are set up within the web browser configuration software. Access to the radio dispatch system is provided

by configuring the base IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway within the ADHB-4 software. Additionally, the input and

output gain control, PTT (Push-T o-Talk) source, and PTT priority are configured for the connected audio equipment. Status is

conveniently summarized on one (1) window in the configuration software for quick evaluation of connected audio devices.

The front panel is equipped with a color TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transist or-Liquid Crystal Display), allowing instan t

indications for ADHB-4 activity. The console operator can quickly determine which device audio is being routed to/from, as

well as footswitch activity, volume, transmit status and receive status. A bar graph indicates the headset volume level and can

be changed with the volume buttons on the front panel. A system information menu is also available. A single LED (Light

Emitting Diode) on the front indicates power when green and PTT when red. A single red LED on the left side panel indicates

phantom power is enabled when red and disabled when dark.

Softkeys on the front panel allow the console operator to change the clock, adjust the display’s backlight brightness, and

change the IP Address and Subnet Mask.
