Estimated reading time: 2 min

Before use, the speaker must be configured with an IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, account information and SIP server information at a minimum.

Description

The SIP horn is a network broadcast terminal that supports SIP over a 10/100M ethernet connection. Audio data is transferred through the network and amplified by the high-performance speaker. It is waterproof so is ideal for outdoors, easy to install, and provides crystal clear voice quality for public notification systems. In emergency situations a pre-recorded message can be manually or automatically triggered via the LAN.

The horn supports RTP broadcast and multicast, plus audio protocols G.711a/u and G.722. It also plays other audio streams such as MP3 and 32k PCM. It can connect to alarm systems, play background music, and do timed broadcasts.

Installation

  1. Mount the Speaker Horn in a suitable external environment, preferably under an eave or other covering to avoid direct weather.
  2. Connect Speaker to Powered Ethernet Cable OR attach power supply and unpowered Ethernet Cable but not both.
