Chapter 2 Getting Started
Use the information in this chapter to set up and
configure the TIP100 Through IP Remote
Transceiver Interface.
To get started you will need to:
● Have a mains power supply to power the TIP100 interface
unit.
● Connect interface cables to your TIP100 interface unit and an
Ethernet network.
● Connect either a “TIP100 to NGT Handset” interface cable or
a “TIP100 to NGT Transceiver” interface cable to the TIP100
interface unit.
● Connect a speaker to the socket on the interface cable to
allow you to hear the IP address announcement from the
TIP100 interface unit.
● Ensure that your network has a facility to automatically
assign IP numbers like through DHCP,
-or-
● Have a statically allocated IP address available that can be
used to configure your TIP100 interface unit.
7
Setting Up the TIP100
Before you begin, make sure you have all the appropriate cables for
your set-up. Start the system set-up with the TIP100 interface unit
that is going to be connected to the NGT transceiver. Ensure that you
have the speaker that comes with your transceiver available for this
set-up.
Step 1: Connect a network cable
Plug a standard (straight) network cable into the network port (LAN)
of the TIP100 interface unit and the other end into your network hub
or network switch. You can also use a crossover network cable (not
included) for a direct connection to your PC.
Step 2: Connecting the interface cable
Connect either a “TIP100 to NGT Handset” or a “TIP100 to NGT
Transceiver” interface cable to your TIP100 interface unit to the
socket marked TRANSCEIVER on the TIP100 interface unit.
Step 3: Connecting a speaker
Connect the loudspeaker that comes with your transceiver to the
speaker socket on the interface cable that you connected to the
TIP100 interface unit. If you are setting up the TIP100 for the
transceiver, this speaker will only be used temporarily so you can
hear the IP address announcements and can be removed after the
configuration is complete.
Step 4: Connect the power supply
Plug the round DC power plug of the power supply module into the
socket marked PWR on the TIP100 interface unit.
Plug the power supply into an appropriate electrical outlet and switch
on the outlet if required.
Step 5: Network startup
The TIP100 interface unit will now search for a DHCP server to get an
IP address and announce it over the loudspeaker.
8 Getting Started
For example: 192.168.0.12 (Voice: one nine two dot one six …)
Make sure you write this IP address down as you will need this
address to further configure the TIP100 interface unit. If you missed
the announcement, you can press the reset button on the front panel
and listen to the announcement again.
If there is no DHCP service available on your network, the TIP100
will try to find an IP address that is suitable for your network, but
this can take up to 5 minutes.
Step 6: Browse to the TIP100 Configuration Web page
Using the address from the voice announcement, open a new
browser window on your computer and type the address in the
address bar of your browser and press Enter.
Your browser will now open the default Status page of the TIP100
interface unit.
Configuring the TIP100
After you have opened the Status page of the TIP100 interface unit
in your browser, click on the Configuration menu item at the top
left of the page. A number of new menu items will appear.
Under Setup, the main configuration items are:
1. Application
2. Network Settings
See page 17 for an image of the Setup configuration screen of the
TIP100 interface unit.
Configuring the TIP100 Application
For a full remote interface system for your NGT transceiver, you will
need two TIP100 interface units. The first provides the network
interface for the NGT Transceiver and the second provides the
network interface to the NGT Handset and a loudspeaker.
On the Setup page, select either “Codan NGT Handset” or “Codan
NGT Transceiver” from the Application selection box.
Getting Started 9
Configuring the TIP100 Network Settings
The default configuration of the TIP100 interface unit is to connect to
the Ethernet network using DHCP and obtain the network setting
automatically. These settings can be observed in the top bar of the
status screen.
To set the network parameters manually, enter the required values
in the network settings fields.
To confirm the settings click on the Apply button at the bottom of
the screen. The TIP100 interface unit will now restart and configure
the new settings.
Note: if you manually configured the network parameters (i.e. Static
IP) and changed the IP address, you will need to change the IP
address in the browser as well to access the TIP100 interface unit
status and configuration pages again.
Configuring the TIP100 for the NGT Transceiver
When the TIP100 interface unit is connected to a NGT Transceiver,
no further configuration is required.
The TIP100 is default configured to listen on port 5500 for incoming
connections. This port number is needed for the configuration of the
TIP100 interface unit that is connected with the NGT Handset.
Depending on your network set-up, the port number may also be
required for the configuration of network gateways and routers.
Use the following steps to check the configured port number.
1. Note the network address voice announcement and open a
browser to the TIP100 interface unit that it is connected to
the NGT Transceiver.
2. Navigate to Configuration.
3. Check if the Application is set to “Codan NGT Transceiver”.
4. Navigate to Transceiver.
5. Select between TCP or UDP fpr the Network Link Mode.
UDP will provide better interactive response and is best used
on local networks only. TCP is the default and provides for
better reliability especially when wireless networks are used.
10 Getting Started
6. Note the port number value next to Network Base Port or
enter a new desired port number.
7. Click Apply if you made any changes.
8. The speaker that you used for hear the voice announcement
can now be removed.
Configuring the TIP100 for the NGT Handset
When the TIP100 interface unit is connected to a NGT Handset, the
unit needs to be configured to connect to the network address and
port of the TIP100 interface unit that is connected to the NGT
Transceiver.
1. Open a browser to the TIP100 interface unit that it is
connected to the NGT Handset.
2. Navigate to Configuration.
3. Check if the Application is set to “Codan NGT Handset”.
4. Navigate to Handset.
5. Next to Network Address enter the IP address or the
domain name of the TIP100 interface unit that is connected
to the transceiver.
6. Check if the port number show next to Network Base Port
is the same as the port number configured on the TIP100
interface unit with the NGT Transceiver.
7. Click Apply.
The TIP100 unit will now restart and will attempt to connect to the
transceiver. The progress of this can be observed from the TIP100
status page in your browser (See page 14).

Chapter 3 Using the TIP100
Read on to learn about using the TIP100 with your
Codan NGT series transceiver.
Once configured and powered, the TIP100 that is configured for the
NGT Handset, initiates the link to the TIP100 that it connected to the
transceiver.
Handset Operation
Once the link is established, the operation of the NGT Handset is
essentially as if it is directly connected to the transceiver. This
includes powering the transceiver on and off, adjusting the volume
and accessing the same transceiver functionality you would be able
to use when the NGT Handset was directly connected to the
transceiver1.
You may however notice some slight delays depending on the
network connection used compared with a handset that is directly
connected to a transceiver.
For optimum control of your NGT transceiver through your remote
control system, you should adjust a small number of configuration
settings in your NGT as follows:
• Key Repeat Rate 0.5s or more
• Key Hold Time 1.0s or more
These settings can be found in the Control Menu of your NGT
transceiver and you may need to be logged in as Admin to see and
adjust these settings. See your NGT transceiver documentation for
more details.
1 However configuring or programming the NGT Transceiver through the
PC programming software NSP is not supported.
13
Network Connections
The TIP100 interface unit uses both TCP and UDP networking to
create and maintain the network link between the two stations, so it
is necessary that the intermediate routers and gateways are
configured to allow both incoming and outgoing TCP and UDP traffic
for the TIP100 interface units.
The ports that need to be enabled are the Network Base Port
number and two subsequent port numbers. For example for the
default base port number of 5500, ports 5500, 5501 and 5502 will
be used by the TIP100.
Internet Links
To operate the TIP100 interface unit via the Internet, it is necessary
that the TIP100 interface unit with the NGT Transceiver can be
reached via a either a static IP address or a domain name2. The
network gateway or router providing the Internet connection needs
to have all the UDP and TCP ports enabled for incoming traffic and
forward it to the internal IP address of the TIP100 interface unit.
In this case it is necessary that the local IP address of the TIP100
unit remains constant. For this purpose, configure the TIP100
manually with an IP address suitable for the internal network.
Alternatively, it may be possible to configure the DHCP server on the
local network to always assign the same IP address to the TIP100
based on the MAC address of the TIP100.
The MAC address can be noted from the status page of the TIP100
interface unit and is also printed on the bottom of the unit.
TIP100 Status Web Page
The picture below is the status information page of the TIP100
interface unit.
At the top of the page the MAC and IP addresses are shown as well
as the software version of the TIP100.

TIP100 Configuration Web Page
The main configuration screen below is used to configure the TIP100
interface unit between the application mode (“Codan NGT Handset
Interface” -or- “Codan NGT Transceiver Interface”), as well as the
configuration of the network parameters of the unit.
The Sonic IP setting determines the voice announcement of the
network address at start up of the TIP100 interface unit.
To have an IP address automatically assigned by the network with
DHCP, all network parameters should be 0.
The grey area on the right hand side provides additional information
on the configuration parameters shown.

Chapter 4 Remote Monitoring
The TIP100 can be remotely monitored in a number
of ways:
• TIP100 Status Web Page
• SYSLOG Messages
• SNMP Monitoring & Traps
Status Web Page
The status web page of the TIP100 allows for monitoring the TIP100
through a standard web browser. In a basic system this may be all
that is needed.
SYSLOG Messages & Log Level
The TIP100 contains a SYSLOG client. As part of the TIP100
operation the SYSLOG client can send regular status updates using
the standard syslog UDP port 514.
The amount of logging can be configured with the Log Level setting,
where a lower setting means less log messages and each subsequent
higher level means more log messages get enabled.
The default for SYSLOG messages is to be broadcast on the local LAN
where they can be captured using SYSLOG server software. The IP of
the SYSLOG server can also be configured to direct the SYSLOG
messages to a specific server address.
As broadcast messages are generally not forwarded beyond the local
LAN segment, setting a specific SYSLOG server address makes it
possible to forward and capture the SYSLOG messages remotely.
19
SYSLOG server software is widely available for a range of operating
systems in both desktop and server variants.
Using a SYSLOG server may provide an ability to look at a TIP100
status changes over a period of time.
SNMP Monitoring & SNMP Traps
The TIP100 can also be monitored using the SNMP v1 protocol. In
addition to the standard SNMP network parameters, a number of
state variables indicating the current TIP100 status and configuration
can be read. The TIP100 can also be configured to send TRAPS
(alerts) to a configured IP address.
SNMP Variables
The TIP100 makes a number of enterprise specific string variables
available through the following Object Identifiers (OID):
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.17491.1.5.1.1.1.2
The string variables in use are as follows:
Index Description
1 Status (as per Status web page)
2 Interface Mode (as per Status web page)
3 Application Version
4 Interface Controller Version
5 Local IP address
6 Local Port Number

19 Mains Power (0=OFF, 1=ON)
20 Remote Monitoring
Index Description
20 Link Mode (1=UDP, 2=TCP)
21 Remote Link Mode (1=UDP, 2=TCP)
22 Configured Remote Address
SNMP TRAPS
For the TIP100 to send SNMP TRAPS, a SNMP Trap address must be
configured. This configuration is part of the network configuration
under Configuration > Setup. This SNMP trap address can be
entered as either an IP address or a domain name.
When an SNMP Trap address is configured, the TIP100 generates
TRAP messages on changes of the following:
• Status
• Handset Power
• Transceiver Power
• Mains Power
In addition the TIP100 generates a regular keep alive type message
that includes current network latency.

Tips and
Troubleshooting

Chapter 5 Tips and Troubleshooting
Most problems with the TIP100 can be solved quickly
by following the advice in this chapter.
When you have a problem with your TIP100, there is usually a quick
and simple solution.
First make sure:
● The interface cables between your TIP100 interface unit and
the NGT Transceiver or NGT Handset are pushed in all the
way.
● The TIP100 interface unit DC power cords are connected to a
working power source.
● The power supply for the NGT Transceiver is turned on and
connected to the NGT Transceiver.
● The TIP100 interface unit is connected to an active network
connection and has an active DHCP service. Press the reset
button to hear the network address voice announcement (at
the transceiver side, you may need to temporarily connect a
speaker to the interface cable) or of you know the configured
address, use your browser to view the status page of your
TIP100.
If you are still having trouble, you can restore the default factory
settings of your TIP100 by pressing and holding the reset button.
While you press the reset button both the green and red STATUS
LED's will be on. After approximately 10 seconds the TIP100 will
restore the factory default settings and the red STATUS LED will start
flashing.
23
If you can't connect to the web pages of the TIP100
● Check that the IP address used by the TIP100 is in the same
range as the IP address of the network you are using. For
example if the TIP100 address voice announcement is
192.168.0.21 but the IP address of your PC is something like
10.30.0.75 you won't be able to connect to the TIP100
because of the network mask used by your network. With the
example above of 10.30.0.75 and a network mask of
255.255.255.0, the network will only accept IP address in the
range of 10.30.0.1 though to 10.30.0.254 and hence the
address 192.168.0.21 can't be reached.
● If the TIP100 was configured with a manual address, it may
be out of the network range range as described above. It can
be reset to factory setting by pressing and holding the reset
button until the red STATUS led starts flashing (after about
10 seconds). After that the TIP100 has been reset and will
use DHCP to obtain a new network address compatible with
your network. Note that this requires that there is a DHCP
server in your network.
● Is there is no DHCP service in your network, the attempt to
obtain an IP address eventually times out after a few minutes
and the TIP100 assigns itself a randomised address that
starts with 169.254.157 (e.g. 169.254.157.192).
● If none of the above is possible, you may be able to
temporarily reconfigure the IP address of your PC to match
the address range of the TIP100 (e.g. 169.254.157.1) and
connect to the TIP100 in that way. Make sure to note the
existing IP configuration of your PC so it can be restored after
you have configured the TIP100.
If your NGT Handset does not power on
● Check that there is a working network connection between
the TIP100 interface unit with the NGT Handset and the
TIP100 interface unit with the NGT Transceiver. Use a web
browser to navigate to the Status page of the TIP100
interface unit with the transceiver.
24 Tips and Troubleshooting
● Make sure that the NGT Transceiver has power available. This
is indicated by the TIP100 interface unit Status page with a
green light next to Main Power Supply.
● Make sure that the TIP100 interface unit for the NGT Handset
and the TIP100 interface unit for the NGT Transceiver are
linked with each other. This is indicated by the TIP100
interface unit Status page which much show CONNECTED
-or- TALKING next to Status.
● Press the power button on the NGT Handset.
If you can't hear sound
● Ensure that the speaker plug of the interface cable between
the TIP100 interface unit and the NGT Transceiver is properly
connected to the speaker socket on the NGT Transceiver.
● Ensure that on the TIP100 interface unit, the speaker plug is
properly connected to the speaker socket on the NGT
Handset interface cable.
● Ensure the NGT Transceiver audio is not muted.
● Adjust the volume on the NGT Handset.
If you have trouble controlling the NGT transceiver
● Ensure that the NGT transceiver is (re)configured with the
configuration setting Key Repeat Rate (Config Menu), set to
a value of 0.5s or more.
● Ensure that the NGT transceiver is (re)configured with the
configuration setting Key Hold Time (Config Menu), set to a
value of 1.0s or more.
