SPIDER 505 SIP OVERVIEW The Spider is a high-quality conference speakerphone that will turn any room into a professionally sounding conference room. It has an exceptionally large pickup and broadcasting range, yet is small in size and discreet in design. The Spider utilizes multiple microphones, a uniquely designed speaker, and a powerful DSP to achieve commanding performance.

Once you plug the Power Supply into a power source, your Spider is ready for use. No additional drivers or steps are needed. However, we do recommend downloading and using our “Phoenix Audio Setup Utility” for optimal audio control and performance. This utility can be found on our website: www.phnxaudio.com/downloads/audiosetup/...
CONNECTING TO A SIP/IP LINE For any session using an IP telephone provider (IP/SIP). ‣ Using the Ethernet cable provided, plug one end of the cable into the Spider’s Ethernet connector (located on the connector panel below the unit). ‣ Plug the other end of the cable directly into your Ethernet wall socket.
Speed Dial Assign up to 10 numbers for the speed dial list. Tones Select from the existing ringtones or upload custom ringtones (not implemented in all versions). NETWORK CONNECTIONS Adjust the LAN and VLAN settings. USING THE SPIDER DIALING ‣ If the keypad is dimmed, press any key to turn on the backlight.
DURING A CALL THE DIRECTIONAL ARRAY During a call the Spider uses a proprietary Beamforming technology to locate a legitimate voice source, and to steer an array towards it. This allows the Spider to focus on the speaker in the room and to cancel out all other noises.
DISPLAY DISPLAY SETTINGS Can be found in the Administration section of the MAIN MENU (see page 12.) IDLE DISPLAY Choose what is shown on the screen of the Spider when the unit is idle. “ID” is the name given by the IP service provider, while “Name” can be configured via the CONTROL PORTAL. GRILL LIGHT Turn ON/OFF the blue and red lights that appear under the grill during a call (incoming call, mute, Beamforming, and hanging up).
DURING A CALL CALL TIMER In the top left corner of the screen you will see a timer that will start when your call is picked up and will stop when the call is disconnected. CALLER ID The center of the screen will display the phone number the Spider is in a session with. If that number has a caller ID name, that name will be displayed.
