1 Package Content
IP Former TPA400 device
Speaker Connector
The Barix IP Former TPA400 is an audio over IP decoder which includes an amplifier to drive a loudspeaker. All configurations for this
device are done locally on an integrated web interface. The operational status of the device is indicated by two multicolour LEDs
(red/green).
2 Installation
2.1 STEP 1 Connecting to Audio Equipment
The IP Former needs connection to the Speaker Equipment through the screw connector provided on the front panel of the device.
The speaker output supports speaker impedance of 4 and 8 ohms (2 ohms is also possible but the output power of the amplifier is
optimized and configurable to match 4 and 8 ohms speakers).
2.2 STEP 2 Connecting to a PoE switch
Connect your IP Former to the Network using a standard Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better). The network will need to provide
standard PoE power supply IEEE 802.3af (15W per port) or higher. The class negotiated is Class 0, which will allow the switch to
deliver up to the maximum capability per port (power available at PD for 802.3af <= 12.95W). 
The IP Former is configured to be a DHCP Client by default.
System Status LED green solid: Device has started up and is running.
Application Status LED green solid: Application has started and is running.
