1 Introduction
The NEO-10 device is a network based Input Output device. Within its enclosure are 10 DPDT relays with all 6
contacts of the relays brought out to ports (Normally Open, Normally Close, Common for each half of relay). There
are also 10 diode blocked inputs which can be used to monitor external events. The NEO sends out multicast packet
bursts anytime a relay or input changes allowing for all users of the device to see status updates in real time. Actual
control of the NEO is accomplished by a TCP/IP socket connection from the controlling console. Version 2.52 of
C-Soft supports control and monitoring functions to support multiple NEO devices on the network. Later releases of
software for the desktop VoIP capable consoles will support NEO as well.
In addition to the I/O functions of the device, NEO supports 10 channels of echo packet functionality. Echo Packet
is a method of copying voice/data content on the network from and to multicast addresses. This features allows the
Vega multicast scheme to operate on a network without having multicast enabled. Until the release of NEO, only
the Vega C-Soft product has this capability which relied on the stability of the Windows operating system. With the
release of NEO this capability is now embedded in dedicated hardware and software in a more robust package.

2 Connecting NEO to the World
NEO has a total of three different ports that are used to connect it to the world. Likely, the first port that will need to
be connected is the RS-232 port.
2.1 RS-232 Port
The RS-232 port is used for initial setup purposes only. It is a standard DCE pinout allowing a straight through DB9
cable to connect it to a computer or other terminal device for setup. Default baud rate is 19200,N81.
2.2 Ethernet Port
The Ethernet Port is used for setup of the NEO as well as for its operation from the consoles. Control of its relays is
handled through this port. The NEO sends multicast packets whenever status of one of its relays or inputs changes
allow for all users of the device to see real time changes in parallel. The port supports both 10 and 100 Mbps
operation of standard Cat 5 cable.
2.3 Relay/Input Ports
There are 10 RJ45 ports that are used to sense inputs and control external events. Each connector is connected to a
DPDT relay. Both sets of poles are brought out
to the connector allowing for two separate
circuits to be controlled by a single relay. Figure
1 shows the pin out of the rear RJ45s. “Relay1”
designates the pins on one half of the DPDT
relay and “Relay2” the other half. The relays are
rated for 1 Amp at 125VAC. The GND signal is
the signal ground of the device. The INPUT pin
is a diode blocked input that allows sensing of a

logic signal. The input range is 0-18 volts.
Exceeding the limits of either the Input or the
Figure 1-NEO RJ-45 Connector Pinout
Relays is a violation of the warranty. The
manuals of the various Vega VoIP consoles should be consulted for programming the user interface buttons to
control the relays and sense the inputs of the NEO-10.

3 Software Configuration of NEO
Setup of the NEO is almost entirely done using a web browser. The first step required during setup is to assign the
IP and Mask addresses to the NEO, using either a WEB Browser or Hyper Terminal program if the assigned IP
address is not accessible on your network.
3.1 Setting the basic IP information with Hyperterminal
As was mentioned before, all other parameters are setup by using a browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Before connecting to the adaptor with the browser, an IP address and Mask that is compatible with the users existing
network must be set. See your network administrator to determine the proper values. Once these values have been
set, the unit must be reset for them to take affect.
To change the IP and Mask addresses using a Hyper Terminal program follow these simple steps;
Connect the NEO serial port to your computer using a DB9 Serial cable.
Load Hyper Terminal in your PC setting the name to COM.
Set Connect using COM1 or Serial port with cable attached.
Set Baud to 19200 and Flow control to None.
6
At the main Hyper Terminal screen type uppercase S then <enter>.
Enter “technobabble” for the factory password.

C = Current IP address, do you want to change?
D = Current Subnet Mask, do you want to change?
E = Current Gateway address, do you want to change?
F = Do you want to reset any of the above?
Once all parameters have been entered and saved, allow the unit to reset by answering Yes to the final question. The
unit will reset in 10-20 seconds. Startup text will be sent to the serial port allowing verification of the setup
parameters having been recorded correctly.

3.2 General Setup via Web Pages
The majority of the setup of the NEO is completed through the Ethernet port. Once the steps of 3.1 have been
completed, a PC on the network can be used to gain access to the web page based setup of the NEO. In the URL
window of Internet Explorer, type http://X.X.X.X
opening page will appear as shown in Figure 2. Clicking on the [Click to Enter
igure 2-Opening Screen for web page setup
page shown in Figure 3.
where X.X.X.X is the IP address set in the previous section. An
] hyperlink will open the Basic Setup
3.3 Basic Ethernet Setup Screen
The parameters that can be set on the Basic Ethernet Setup Screen are as follows:
3.3.1 Use DHCP Server
This option, when checked will force the NEO to request a dynamic IP address when it is first turned on. Since it is
important that the NEO always be located in a known location for all consoles utilizing it on the network, this should
not be used as the normal operating mode. It is useful sometimes to determine the settings that might be used for a
particular network or testing.
3.3.2 Unit IP Address
In addition to the method outlined in section 3.1, the base IP address can be changed from this screen.
3.3.3 Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask into this field. Obtain this information from your network administrator.
3.3.4 Gateway Address
The Gateway Address is the address to which packets are sent when the destination address of the packet is not on
the same subnet as the NEO itself. Obtain this information from your network administrator.
3.3.5 DNS Addresses 1-3
Enter the DNS addresses provided by your network administrator. These are optional and not currently used.

Once all parameters are set, press the Submit button to send them back to the NEO from the web browser. The
parameters are not updated until they are actually saved to EPROM, (Section 3.9)

3.4 Multicast Setup
A single multicast address is employed by NEO for the purpose of updating consoles of changes in the Relays and
Inputs.
igure 4 - Multicast Port Number Setup
NEO sends out a single packet each time either a Relay is changed by any console or when an input changes due to
external event. The Multicast Address is any address in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.254. A specific
unicast address can also be used if only a single console is to be utilized. The Port number is a unique port to which
the multicast packet will be sent. Channel Hops is the number of routers that the packet will penetrate before being
stopped and allowed to propagate no further.
The Multicast Address and Port Number must match those set within the console. It is Okay to use the same
Multicast Address and Port number in multiple NEO devices. The base IP address is used to differentiate the source
of the I/O update. See the console documentation for more information on setting up NEO relays.
As in the case of all other web pages, the Submit button must be pressed to send the changes to the NEO under
configuration.
3.5 Debounce Input Settings
The Debounce hyperlink will open the screen below.
11
Figure 5 - Input Debounce Settings
Each of the 10 inputs can have its own input debounce time. This is the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the
input is allowed to stabilize from first change detection to final sampling. The timer resolution is only 20ms, so
multiples of 20ms must be used. Other values will work, but give no finer resolution. Once all values have been
set, press the Submit button to send the values to the NEO. Save to EEPROM to make them permanent, (Section
3.9).
12
3.6 Echo Packet
The Echo Packet function allows the system to operate on networks that do not support multicast. A typical
application might be a number of radios spread throughout a network. Since multicast is not supported, the radio
adaptors (IP-223s or C-6200s) are programmed to send packets to a specific static IP address; the IP address of the
NEO-10 with Echo Packet enabled.

Figure 6-Echo Packet Setup Example
The Example shown in Figure 6 shows a typical usage of the NEO in an echo packet configuration. It shows three
radios, two of which are on other subnets. Since multicast is assumed to be blocked, only unicast UDP is available
to get audio two and from Radio Towers 2 & 3. The two C-Softs on the 10.6 subnet are able to monitor and control
Radio Tower 1 using multicast. However to reach Radios 2&3 the C-Softs send their traffic to the multicast address,
which the NEO then translates and sends as unicast to Radio 2 or 3. Receive traffic from Radios 2&3 are sent
directly to the NEO which then translates the packets back to multicast so each of the C-Soft consoles can monitor
the RX audio. This enables NEO to function as a gateway for other consoles on the same local network segment.
The local consoles transmit and receive the multicast address only and NEO translates and sends the packets to the
radio directly.
The setup parameters shown for each device on the network are an example only. The parameters of the NEO are
delineated by a dash between each value. The values correspond to the entry fields, per line, of the NEO setup
screen shown in Figure 7. Note that RX traffic is a single direction copy. Packets received are copied only to the
RX MCast address. Note that traffic received to the RX multicast address will be recopied back out. Since there
should only be one receive source on the network for a given channel, this should not present a problem. This is
depicted by the arrow at the top of the Rx columns. TX traffic is bi-directional. Traffic received as multicast is sent
to the unicast address and traffic received as unicast is copied to the multicast address. The ports are still used to
delineate channels. Unused ports should not be enabled.

3.9 Save Changes to EEPROM
As each group of settings are changed and submitted, they still must be saved to EEPROM to be stored permanently.
Some settings require reboot of the device to take effect. These are primarily IP parameters.

appearance items, or malfunction due to abuse or operation under other than the specified conditions, nor
