Please keep the following in mind as you unpack and install this equipment: • Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons.
1. INTRODUCTION The inherent routing flexibility of Audio over IP (AoIP) provides great advantages over traditional audio cabling solutions while using highly cost effective Cat.5e cable. This greatly reduces the cost of wiring large systems and improves control convenience. This unit takes full advantage of the core benefits provided by AoIP and adds support for a selection of different audio source formats, including both analogue (line in and mic in) and digital (optical S/PDIF).
5. FEATURES Analogue inputs: 1×Mic input, 1×Line input Digital input: 1×Optical input Audio and RS-232 extension over TCP/IP in unicast (point-to-point) or multicast (single-to-many) modes Extension of AoIP signals can be further extended (up to 100m per segment) by using gigabit network switches.
6. OPERATION CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS 6.1 Front Panel AUDIO SELECT OPT. MUTE LINE LINK MUTE GAIN. PWR LED: This LED will illuminate to indicate the unit is on and receiving power. LINK LED: While the transmitter is attempting to establish a network connection the LINK LED will flash.
6.2 Rear Panel RS-232 TX RX DC 5V OPTICAL LINE LAN(POE) OPTICAL IN Port: Connect to the optical audio output of a device such as a media player or game console using an appropriate optical cable. LINE IN Port: Connect to the analogue stereo output of a device such as an audio player or PC.
6.4 WebGUI Control Device Discovery Please obtain the “Device Discovery” software from your authorised dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily find it. Connect the unit and your PC/Laptop to the same active network and execute the “Device Discovery” software. Click on “Find Devices on Internet”...

2) WebGUI Hotkey: Once you are satisfied with the network settings, you may use them to connect via Telnet or WebGUI. The network information window provides a convenient link to launch the WebGUI directly. WebGUI Overview All major functions of the unit, including status, streaming method, streaming channel selection, input selection, gain/mute control, Ethernet settings, and reset/firmware functions are controllable via multiple tabs in the WebGUI interface allowing for reasonably intuitive operation.
6.4.1 System Tab The System tab contains four windows that provide access to firmware version information, a firmware update interface, utilities for rebooting and resetting the unit, Telnet command entry, and a variety of statistics and information about the operational state of the unit. 1) Version Information: This window displays detailed information about the current firmware version.
Page 13
3) Utilities: The Utilities window allows users to reset the unit back to the factory defaults by clicking “Factory Default”. The unit may be rebooted (without resetting settings) by pressing the “Reboot” button. Finally, individual Telnet commands may be sent to the unit by using the “Console API Command”...

4) Statistics: The Statistics window shows all available information about the operational status of the unit, including current Host ID Name, Ethernet information, MAC address, unicast/multicast mode, link status and mode.
6.4.2 Network Tab The Network tab provides controls over the transmitter’s broadcast channel, IP configuration, and network broadcast mode. Changes made to the network settings will require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI. Note: If the IP address is changed then the IP address required for WebGUI access will also change accordingly.

same channel will receive audio from this transmitter. The available channel range is from 0 to 255. Note: Every transmitter within the same local network must be assigned a different broadcast channel in order to avoid conflicts. 2) IP Setup: This section allows for configuration of the IP acquisition mode and Ethernet settings of the unit.
6.4.3 Functions Tab The Functions tab provides control over the transmitter’s audio source selection, audio mute/unmute, mic gain, front panel locks and serial control extension configuration. Changes made to these settings typically require a reboot of the unit. After clicking on “Apply” please follow the reboot instructions in the WebGUI, if necessary.
Audio Select: Select between the optical, line or mic inputs on the transmitter. Audio Mute: Enable or disable muting the audio output. Mic Input Gain: Increase or decrease the audio gain of the microphone input by dragging the slider. Note: This is only controllable when Mic In is the selected source.
