The SIP account menu allows you to create up to two separate SIP accounts. SIP is a protocol that initiates a direct call to that specific VoIP device, and this will include IP speakers. This will give you the option to have two-way audio with IP speakers that have a built-in microphone.

Alarm Menu

The Alarm menu allows for the user to set up one alarm input/output to the IP speaker. By default, you will have to enable the alarm input. The alarm output will have to be selected through this menu first, then it will play either one of the preexisting media files or it will play a custom audio clip. Once the alarm is enabled, you will also have the option to enable “Play File Enable”, which means you can take the example URL commands, and they will play the audio clip by just sending it through a web address.

Schedule Menu

This menu will allow the user to create a custom schedule. The schedule menu is designed to be used for schools, factories, and office projects. The schedule allows for the user to make a regular bell, announcement or alarm happen at a specific time/date. In each IP speaker there are 10 different schedules that can be created. To create a schedule, click on the edit option, and then a new schedule window will come up. Enable the schedule and customize the schedule you wish to create by: giving it a name, start time/end time, allowed days in the schedule, action time, action type, the file it will be playing, and lastly the cycle mode. After creating the schedule click save at the bottom.

RTP Multicast Menu

The RTP multicast menu will be used to set up RTP addresses to zone out the IP speakers. RTP stands for Real-Time Transport Protocol. This allows the user to stream audio over the internet, thereby enabling VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). On this menu you will see a list from 1 through 10. This means you can create up to 10 RTP addresses, and depending on what slot you put the RTP address in will determine what priority it is set too. Number 1 being the highest priority on the list & number 10 being the lowest priority on the list. This will allow you to do priority paging. After creating an RTP list, click save at the bottom.

*RTP address Range: 224.0.0.0-239.255.255.0

*Port Range: 1500-6300
