1. AVN-TB6 & AVN-TB6D 6 Button Talkback Intercoms
Introduction
The AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D are 6 channel talkback intercom control units from the Sonifex range of IP based AVN (Audio/Video/Network) products. The AVN-TB6 is a freestanding version, which can be converted into a 1U rackmount using the AVN-TB6RK rack-kit. The AVN-TB6D is a desktop version that can be fitted flush into a work surface if required. Both models offer similar functionality.

Fig 1-1: The AVN-TB6 Front Panel

Fig 1-2: The AVN-TB6D Front Panel
1 Introduction
These units provide broadcast quality audio communication between studios, offices and different areas in a facility or building complex, using RAVENNA/AES67 as the transport mechanism, allowing simple CAT 5 cabling and expansion.
RAVENNA (of which AES67 is a subset) allows for the distribution of audio across a network. The AVN range use RAVENNA as the communication method providing compatibility with other AES67 systems.
Each of the 6 channels on the AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D can be configured to provide communications with other remote networked intercom units or AoIP streams, and an independently configurable page function can contact selected units with priority over standard intercom calls if required.
There is a monitor channel that can route the audio from an AoIP source to the headphones and speaker. This could be used to take an IFB feed or an off-air transmission signal or simply to listen to any audio source.
A user configurable GPIO system, with 10 physical ports and 10 virtual ports, can be used to control operational functions on local or networked units, or drive outputs as selected states change, and a voltage free relay contact can be used to operate external equipment.
A built-in web server provides complete configuration control of the units and also allows for firmware updates and configuration backup. An Ember+ interface also gives access to the configuration options as well as providing remote control and monitoring of the GPIO and virtual GPIO ports.
2. Installation
Network Connection
The AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D have 2 separate gigabit network ports:
Upper Port: Configuration and control interface Lower Port: Audio over IP (AoIP) interface
In an ideal installation, the lower port should be connected to a dedicated network switch that handles audio and audio related traffic only. All other intercom units, AoIP sources and destinations, and grandmaster clocks should be connected to this network. The upper port can be connected to a separate network to provide access to the embedded web server. With this setup, potentially heavy network traffic on a company LAN does not affect the performance of the AoIP network.
The AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D and any other Sonifex talkback intercoms can be used with a single network connection using the lower (AoIP) port as this also provides access to the embedded web server. The talkback intercom units, AoIP sources and destinations, and grandmaster clocks should still ideally be connected to a dedicated network switch.

7. Intercom Calls with IFB
Other models in the AVN Talkback range, such as the AVN-TB10AR, AVN-TB20AR and the AVN-TB20AD, can generate specific IFB AoIP streams. These IFB streams from remote units can be assigned to the channel buttons on the AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D by enabling the channel IFB mode. See the Channels - Advanced Setting web page on page 30 for more details. With IFB mode enabled, the selected IFB feed from the remote unit will be heard in the headphones and through the speaker when the channel is idle, and the channel button will flash briefly in the colour assigned to listen buttons. Once a call is initiated and connected, the remote unit will modify the audio content of the IFB stream and the receiver will hear the required interrupt audio. Intercom calls with IFB are controlled in exactly the same way as normal intercom calls.
8 Non-Intercom Calls
8. Non-Intercom Calls
The AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D allow any AoIP stream to be assigned to the channel buttons. When a call is initiated to a non AVN Talkback device, the unit does not attempt to communicate with the remote device for call control. It simply routes the AoIP stream assigned to the channel to the headphones and loudspeaker and unmutes the microphone audio routed to the microphone AoIP transmit stream. If simply call indication is required between devices, the GPIO ports on the unit can be used to provide control and tally functions. See the GPIO Settings web page on page 37 for details on how to configure the GPIO and relay settings.

Up to 20 page call, unless the green flashing page button. The page is ended can be selected as page targets and each unit can be configured immediately and the button stops flashing. Any suspended intercom call received page calls as a priority over normal intercom calls. See on the page target page units are resumed and any active monitor channel Settings web page on 36 for details.
Making a Page
To make a page call, press the page button. The button will slowly flash green if at least one of the configured page targets is able to receive the page. A configured target may not be receiving the page for a number of reasons. These include:
• The target unit may be switched off or not connected to the network.
- The target unit may be already involved in a page call, either outgoing or incoming.
- The target unit may be involved in an intercom call and the page priority option on that unit is disabled, meaning that the intercom call takes priority.
Receiving a Page
When a page is received and accepted, the page button fast flashes red. If the page priority option is disabled, and an intercom call is currently active, the page will be ignored.
During a Page
During a page call, the microphone audio signal from the paging unit will be heard by the units that accepted the page. The page targets do not need to respond to the page to hear the audio. Any current intercom calls on the units receiving the page will be suspended and any active monitor channels on the paging and receiving units will be muted for the duration of the page call.

11. Network Address Announcement
These units have a network address announcement mode which can be used to determine the current settings for either of the 2 network ports:
- Ensure that volume control mode is not currently active i.e. the LEDs around the rotary encoder control are showing the microphone signal level. Also, ensure no calls or pages are active.
- Press the rotary encoder control button 6 times within 2 seconds. If the button is not pressed 6 times within a 2 second period starting from the first press, the network address announcement mode will not start.
- Once the network address announcement mode has been initiated, the rotary encoder control and channel buttons 1, 2, 4 and 5 will flash red.
- Press channel 1 for the Ethernet port IP address, channel 2 for the Ethernet port sub-net mask, channel 4 for the AoIP port IP address and channel 5 for the AoIP port sub-net mask. Once a selection has been made, the chosen details will be announced through the loudspeaker or the headphones. If no selection is made within 3 seconds, the network address announcement mode will be cancelled, and the rotary encoder control and channel buttons will return to the non-illuminated state.
- Once the chosen details have been announced, the unit return to normal operating mode.
12 Embedded Web Server
12. Embedded Web Server
The AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D have embedded web servers which easy access to all the configuration options through a web bro gives access to system information and allows the firmware to updated when new releases are made available.
To access the embedded web server, the unit needs to be connected to a network via either of the 2 network ports on the rear panel. The upper port is the general access Ethernet port and the lower port is the audio over IP (AoIP) port. By default, both ports are set to static address mode with the upper port IP address set to 192.168.0.100 and the lower port IP address set to 192.168.1.100. If the network address mode for the port to be used has been set to dynamic, the unit will attempt to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server or auto configuration if DHCP server is found. The current IP address these ports can be determined by using the network address announcement function. See Network Address Announcement on page 19 details. If a port has yet to acquire an IP or has failed to link, the corresponding IP and subnet mask be announced as 0.0.0.0. The IP address of the required port is known simply type this into the address bar of a browser. The Device Information page of the connected unit will be displayed. This is the default page and will always be displayed for when connecting to the embedded web serve. Each page of the web server shows the int name in the upper right hand corner, under Fig

Audio Assignments Web Page
The Audio Assignments page shows the current channel and monitor configuration as shown:

Fig 12-3: Audio Assignments Web Page
Each channel is listed with the intercom name or AoIP stream name assignment if any. Channels that are assigned to remote sources indicate whether that source is currently online. If it is online, the assignment is shown in black and the AoIP port IP address of the source is also shown. If the target assignment is an AVN talkback device, an AVN logo is shown next to the channel number. Unavailable sources or unassigned channels are shown in grey.
The Monitor Assignment shows the current configuration and status of the monitor channel. If the configured AoIP stream is currently available, the assignment is shown in black. Unavailable streams are shown in grey.
GPIO Assignments Web Page
The GPIO Assignments page shows the current GPIO, virtual GPIO and relay configuration as shown:

Each physical GPIO can be configured as an input, output or it can be disabled. Any configuration errors that will stop the GPIO functioning are shown in red. For example, GPIO 6 has been assigned as an input that activates a virtual output. However, none of the virtual GPIO have been set to an output that is driven by GPIO6. At the bottom of GPIO assignments is the list of functions that trigger the relay - if any.
12 Embedded Web Server
Each virtual GPIO can also be configured as an input, output or it can be disabled. As with the GPIO assignments, configuration errors are shown in red. Virtual inputs require a remote virtual output driver to trigger the input. The driver details are shown below the virtual input description and will be grey if the driver service is not available. If the service is available, it will be shown in black.

Fig 12-5: Lower Section of GPIO Assignments Web Page
Configuration Tab
The pages under the Configuration tab are split into groups and all of the unit's configuration settings can be edited here. Each page has a SUBMIT button that sends the changes to the connected unit. The SUBMIT button remains disabled until changes have been made on the page. Once the SUBMIT button has been pressed, a busy indicator will be shown and the page will be temporarily disabled until the changes have been written.
Network Web Page
The Network page shows the current configuration of the Etherne AoIP network ports. The intercom name is also set here.
Intercom Name – The intercom name is the user friendly name that identifies the unit on the network. It is a good idea to assign a user name or location as this is easily recognised by other users. The default intercom name is made from the device ID and the 7 digit product serial number i.e. AVN-TB6-1234567. The intercom name can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens although it cannot start or end with a hyphen.
Address Mode – Each network port has its own independent address mode which determines how the port obtains its IP address. When set to dynamic, the unit will attempt to acquire an IP address automatically from either a DHCP server or via auto configuration if no DHCP server is found. The actual IP address will be shown on the device information page. When static mode is used, the IP address and subnet mask values entered will be assigned to the corresponding network port.
Static IP Address - This is the IP address that will be assigned corresponding network port when static address mode is selected. important to ensure that this IP address is not currently in use network. These values are not used when the address mode is

The AoIP Stream Settings page shows the current configuration of options. The single transmit source on the AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6 the microphone/headset input.
AoIP Stream Name Prefix – The AoIP stream name prefix forms part of the AoIP stream name which will be displayed on remote devices when searching for AoIP streams. This stream name is comprised of the AoIP stream name prefix, set here for the microphone transmit source, and the intercom name. For example, if the default microphone AoIP stream name prefix "Mic" is used, and the intercom name is set to "DEMO-USER", the advertised AoIP stream name would be "Mic@DEMO-USER".
DSCP - The DSCP or Differentiated Services Code Point value is used by DiffServ to control the precedence of outgoing AoIP data packets. Network hardware can use this value to ensure audio data has higher priority over of the AoIP other network traffic. See Table 15-1 DSCP Names & Their Corresponding IP SD is for Precedence on page 52 for more information.
Multicast IP Address – The multicast IP address is the IPv4 multicast destination address for the transmit source. Remote network devices that are configured to receive this source will use this IP address to access the
audio data. It is important to ensure that the IP address entered here is
