1. System Overview The Series 9100 Digital Intercom System is a configurable, weather-resistant, IP-based communication system suitable for use in all environments. It allows for wired and wireless users to communicate with each other and external audio equipment such as two-way radios, smart phones, other intercoms, and any other analog audio device with virtually unlimited configurability.

2. Mounting the Master Station Parts/Tools Required U9100 Series Digital Intercom System Master Station (44000G-01) M9100RM Rack-Mount Kit (44004G-01, optional) Pencil/Pen Drill 13/32-inch Drill Bit #8 Mounting Screws (customer supplied) Nuts (customer supplied) Lock-washers (customer supplied) Procedure Location Considerations Select a location on a flat surface that is out-of-the-way, and provides adequate room to attach all cables.
System Cabling is used to interface David Clark Series 9100 Endpoints to the 9100 Digital Master Station. This cabling must be Ethernet Category 5e or higher. David Clark offers two types of cabling as well as two RJ-45 connector options depending on the application and location.

5. Radio Cables The C91-20RD Radio Cables are used to interface a marine or mobile radio to the 9100 Digital Intercom System. One end of the cable connects to a U9104 or U9102 installed in the Master Station and the other end connects to the radio.
Determine the location of a 10-Amp circuit breaker to be used and how to connect to it (solder, screw terminals, lugs, etc.). If only a higher-amperage circuit breaker is available, it may be used, but the David Clark 10- Amp Fuse Kit must also be used.
7. Auxiliary Audio The Auxiliary Audio connection is intended for use with line-level devices only. Typical connections include a portable CD/MP3 player’s headphone jack or the “Preamp Output” RCA jacks on a car/marine stereo. This cable can also be used to route audio from the Digital Intercom System to another device (such as a camera or recorder) .
8. Operation and Programming The Series 9100 Digital Intercom System has a variety of programming options and can satisfy virtually every configuration application. See the information and examples below for details. Headset Stations The U9110-series headset stations provide a fixed-position, wired interface into the U9100 Digital Intercom System.
Wireless Wireless Gateway The U9120-series Wireless Gateways provide an un-tethered interface into the U9100 Digital Intercom System. Each Wireless Gateway can be linked with up to four U91xxBSW belt stations. The Wireless Gateway has the following interfaces: • Link button Used to link Wireless Belt Stations •...
Wireless Belt Stations Pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 5 seconds will power on/off the Wireless Belt Station. Linking Linking is accomplished by momentarily pressing the LINK button on the Wireless Gateway and the PTT button on the Wireless Belt Station. The Wireless Gateway and the Wireless Belt Station must be within approximately 1 to 3ft (0.5 to 1m) of each other in order for linking to be successful.
User Interface 1. Once power is turned on to the system in about 30 seconds the web interface will be available. 2. The factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1 and authentication is enabled. 3. Connect a computer via Ethernet cable to an open switch card port. If all switch card ports are used, a PoE splitter such as CyberData #011187 or a PoE capable Ethernet switch may be used.

devices if they are of the same type. The Master Station is mapped automatically. Optionally, the import process can rename the current device names to the § names present in the file. This is most useful in cloning operations. The master station cannot be renamed.
The Advanced Settings menu provides for manual manipulation of Dante subscriptions and DSP settings. Additionally, the system may be restarted from Advance Settings. Contact David Clark Customer Service at (800) 900-3434 for guidance if you feel your application requires settings not available in the Basic Settings menu.
Talk Group Programming Talk groups are where most of the settings for the system will be made. Talk groups are a method of presenting the powerful options of the system to the user in a straight-forward and intuitive way. Each Headset Station or Wireless Belt Station is capable of (4) Selections as well as a PTT button.
Talk Group Example 1: Multiple users on intercom, hot mic • Multiple users talking and listening to each other • Users can be on any selection (1-4) and do not have to press PTT to be heard Steps 1. Click Add New Talk Group. 2.
Talk Group Example 2: Multiple users on intercom, press PTT to talk • Multiple users talking and listening to each other. • Users can be on any selection (1-4) but must press PTT in order to be heard by others. Steps 1.
Talk Group Example 3: Multiple users on hot-mic intercom, press PTT to talk over radio • Multiple users talking to each other freely (no PTT) • Press PTT to talk over radio • Selection may be anything (1-4) Steps 1. Create a new talk group and rename it “Intercom” 2.

Headsets Donning/Positioning Each Headset should be worn so that the ear seals fit snugly against the head, and the ears are fully enclosed within the inside of the ear seals. Adjust the microphone boom so that the microphone is positioned no more than ¼” from the lips. Using the Headset in this manner ensures optimal performance, especially in high-noise environments.
