Informacast Configuration File Retrieval; Identification And Testing - CyberData InformaCast 011592 Quick Start Manual

4.0 InformaCast Configuration File Retrieval

4.1. DHCP should be enabled. After the speaker initializes, it will send a
broadcast to the DHCP server to ask for the location of its
InformaCastSpeaker.cfg configuration file.
4.2. SLP or TFTP?
• SLP should be enabled on InformaCast version 5.0.4 or higher. SLP is an
InformaCast protocol introduced in InformaCast version 5.0.4. The speaker
will retrieve its configuration file from an InformaCast server folder specified
by SLP. SLP method is preferred.
• TFTP servers may be used instead of SLP. In this alternate scenario, DHCP
option 150 is required to provide the speaker with the address of the TFTP
server. Otherwise, the speaker will be unable to retrieve its configuration file.
Note The InformaCast® Enabled Paging 25V/70V Amplifier and
InformaCast server should be on the same subnet during the
speaker's initial configuration if it cannot access the VLANs upon
which the InformaCast Server and DHCP servers are located.

5.0 Identification and Testing

5.1. Ensure the InformaCast Server has detected a new speaker.
5.2. Test the newly detected speaker.
5.3. Add the newly detected speaker to the InformaCast Server.
