1 The Bogen VoIP Speakers are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE).Use an 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet Switch, or a PoE injector adapter (IEEE 802.3af compliant) for each VoIP Speaker. The VoIP Speakers need to be configured with an IP Address, netmask,and Primary Quantum IP Address.

The VoIP Speakers (Models WBS810QIP and S810QIP) will onlyoperate on a Bogen Quantum Multicom IP system (Quantum System)running Quantum Node (QSPC1) and Quantum Commander softwareversion 1.3.0 or newer.

Configuring a VoIP Speaker is a 3-step process:

1. Configure IP Address information (DHCP or static. DHCP standsfor Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.)

2. Configure Primary Quantum IP Address

3. Configure Station Type and Architecture Number

1.1 Configure IP Address Information

If using a DHCP server to provide IP Addresses to the VoIP Speakers, proceed to Section 1.1.1,Configure VoIP Speakers using DHCP.

If using and configuring Static IP Addresses on the VoIP Speakers, proceed to Section 1.1.2,Configure VoIP Speakers Using Static IP Addresses.

1.1.1 Configure VoIP Speakers Using DHCP

1. Setup a DHCP server to provide IP Addresses to the VoIP Speakers in the network. Consultthe facility’s Information Technology (IT) department if required, as IT departments are usuallyresponsible for operating DHCP servers. For convenience during VoIP Speaker configuration,install a DHCP server on a Windows PC that will be used to configure VoIP Speakers.

This document will use IP Addresses in the range 10.10.10.2 through 10.10.10.5, with theWindows PC IP Address set to 10.10.10.10.

IMPORTANT: The DHCP server must be configured to always provide the same IP Address tothe VoIP Speaker. This is usually accomplished by mapping the device’s MAC Address to apermanent IP Address. If the DHCP server is not configured to provide the same IP Address,and if the VoIP Speaker is assigned a different address than the address it had while beingconfigured with Quantum Commander, the VoIP Speaker will not be available to the Quantumsystem (until it receives the same address from the DHCP, or is reconfigured).

2. The VoIP Speaker is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). Connect the Windows PC andVoIP Speaker to a PoE switch.

3. After the VoIP Speaker has been plugged into the PoE switch, it will take about a minute forthe VoIP Speaker to boot, start, and obtain its IP Address from the DHCP server. Proceed toSection 1.2, Configure Primary Quantum IP Address, to continue the configuration process.

1.1.2 Configure VoIP Speakers Using Stat ic IP Addresses

1. Connect the Windows PC and VoIP Speaker to an 802.3af compliant PoE switch, or aPoE injector adapter (IEEE 802.3af compliant), for each VoIP Speaker.

2. Configure the Windows PC IP Address as 10.16.2.2, with Gateway IP Address as 10.16.2.1.

3. Use a web browser to open the VoIP Speaker Configuration Login Page (Figure 1-1). Enterthe following into the browser’s address bar: http://10.16.2.1:8080.

4. Enter the Login Page sign-in credentials: Username: maint Password: bogen

After entering the Username and Password, clickSubmit. The VoIP Speaker Configuration window(Java-applet) will open (Figure 1-2).

5. Change the DHCP option from “On” to “Off” toconfigure static IP Addresses.

NOTE: If after selecting “Off”, a popup screenappears that says: “Cannot edit Speaker IP whenPrimary IP is present. Please un-configure Primary IP fromUtility.” This alerts you to the fact that the speaker isalready configured and must first be un-configuredbefore you can proceed. See Section 3, How toUn-configure a VoIP Speaker, for details on how toun-configure the speaker.

If the VoIP Speaker Configuration Login Page above does not display, wait one minute, try again.

(Fig.1-1)

(Fig.1-2)

✍

✍

After the VoIP Speaker has been plugged into the PoE switch, it will take about a minute for theVoIP Speaker to boot. Each VoIP Speaker will then repeatedly attempt to get an IP Address froma DHCP server for one minute. After trying for one minute, the speaker will configure itself with adefault IP Address (10.16.2.1) and default Gateway IP Address (10.16.2.2).

NOTE: Only one speaker can be configured at a time using this IP address assignment process.Connecting two or more un-configured IP speakers to the network without a DHCP server will causeduplicate IP addresses and conflicts.

NOTE: If the DHCP “On” option is selected, you will not be able to edit the fields to configurestatic address information.

6. Enter values for Speaker IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway, then click Save.The speakerwill automatically reboot and reconfigure the network interface.

NOTE: The VoIP Speaker will accept configuration commands for up to 15 minutes, after whichtime it will reboot. It is important that you finish this step within 15 minutes. See Section 6.2.2,Default IP Address Assignment, for further information on the 15 minute configuration time window.

1.2 Configure Pr imar y Quantum IP Address

After the VoIP Speakers’ IP Address have been configured (using static or DHCP), the next stepis to configure the VoIP Speaker with the Primary Quantum IP Address (the Quantum Node thatis currently set as Primary Node type in the network). All VoIP Speakers should use the samePrimary Quantum IP Address, even if the VoIP Speaker will be added to the Station List ofa different Quantum Node that is not the Primary Node in the network. One or more VoIPSpeakers can be configured at the same time.

1. You need to load the application called VoIP Speaker Locator onto the PC. Copy the filenamed VoIPSpeakerLocator.jar to the Windows PC that will configure the VoIP Speaker(s).

2. Start the VoIP Speaker Locator application by double-clicking the VoIPSpeakerLocator.jaricon on the desktop. After displaying a splash screen, the application will display the DeviceDiscovery Configuration Screen (Figure 1-3).

3. Enter the Windows PC’s IP Address into the Utility IP Address field. This should be the IPAddress for the PC interface that is used to connect to the same network that the VoIP Speakersare connected to (e.g., 10.10.10.10).

(Fig.1-3)

4. Enter a valid Utility Port Number between 4000 and 15000. This Port Number will be openedon your PC for receiving discovery responses from VoIP Speakers. This document will usePort 7000.

NOTE: If the VoIP Speaker Locator application is unable to discover any VoIP Speakers, ensure thatthe specified Port Number is not being blocked by firewalls on your PC or network hardware.

5. Select Discover All from the Discover Option drop-down menu.

NOTE: If the “Discover Not Configured” option is selected, you will only be able to discoverVoIP Speakers that have not yet been configured. This is useful when there are some VoIP Speakersin the network that have not yet been configured. This way, the application will only discoverthe VoIP speakers that have not yet been configured. If not selected, the application will discoverall the speakers in the network (whether configured or not), requiring you to manually find andmark the un-configured speakers from the list of discovered speakers (Figure 1-4).

6. Click the Discover button. The Discover button will be highlighted while the application isdiscovering VoIP Speakers. If this is the first time you have pressed Discover since startingthe application, a dialog window will open when discovery is completed. The dialog boxwill remind you that the Port Number cannot be changed while running the application. If you need to change the Port Number, restart the application.

NOTE: If you receive the error “Invalid IP Address”, try entering a new/different IP Address.

NOTE: If you receive the error “Port values cannot be edited further,” you cannot change theport number as it has already been configured.

NOTE: If you need to change the IP Address, utility port or discover option, you must restart theapplication.

7. When the Discover button is no longer highlighted, click the Program Devices tab on the leftpanel (Figure 1-4) to proceed to the Assign Primary Quantum IP Address to Devices screen.A list of VoIP Speakers that have not yet been configured with a Primary Quantum IP Addresswill be displayed.

Adding VoIP Speakers to QuantumList via Quantum Commander2 The last step to configure a new VoIP Speaker is to add it to the Station

List of a Quantum Node in the network.

NOTE: You will need Quantum Commander Version 1.3.0 or newer.

1. Select a Quantum Node that has an available station slot, prefer-ably a slot that you would not normally use for a physical device.

2. Double-click the station row to bring up the Station Configurationscreen (e.g., Figure 2-1, Station #26).

3. From the Station Type drop-down menu, select a Station Type thatmatches the VoIP Speaker type you are adding: VoIP SpeakerOnly, VoIP Speaker with Call Switch, or VoIP Speaker with Non-Dial Handset.

4. Enter the Architecture Number (Arch#) forthe VoIP Speaker.

5. Select the VoIP Speaker’s MAC Addressfrom the MAC Address drop-down menu(Figure 2-2).

✍

✍NOTE: If the MAC Address is not displayed, refresh the Station List and try again. If the MACAddress is still not displayed, reboot the speaker (see Section 4.0, How to Reboot a VoIP Speaker),wait a couple of minutes, then try again. If the MAC address is still not displayed, there may be anissue with the VoIP Speaker’s IP Address configuration.

6. Select the desired Volume for the IP Speaker from the Volume drop-down menu (e.g.,1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W, 4W).

Notes6 6.1 Configurat ion

When VoIP Speakers are provisioned, the VoIP Speaker PrimaryQuantum IP Address setting must always be set to the PrimaryQuantum Node’s IP Address. After that, the VoIP Speaker canbe added to any Quantum Node in the network, regardless ofnode type (e.g. Primary, Secondary or Normal).

6.2 DHCP Operat ion

6.2.1 Configuring IP Address for VoIP Speakers Using DHCP

The DHCP server must be configured to always provide the same IP Address to the VoIP Speaker.This is usually accomplished by mapping the device MAC Address to a permanent IP Address.If the DHCP server is not configured to provide the same IP Address, and if the VoIP Speaker isassigned a different address than the address it had while configuring it with QuantumCommander, the VoIP Speaker will not be available to the Quantum system. (To be available,it must receive the same address from the DHCP server, or be reconfigured).

6.2.2 Default IP Address Assignment

When a newly installed VoIP Speaker starts, it will attempt for one minute to get an IP Addressfrom a DHCP server. If the speaker does not receive an IP Address from a DHCP server withinone minute, it will temporarily configure its IP Address to the default 10.16.2.1, to allowconfiguration of the speaker at this known default IP address. It will operate in this mode for amaximum of 15 minutes, and then reboot to make another attempt to receive an IP Addressfrom a DHCP server.

6.2.3 Using a Previously Assigned IP Address

If a fully configured VoIP Speaker that uses DHCP reboots and does not receive an IP Addressfrom the DHCP server within one minute, it will automatically use the IP Address that waspreviously provided via DHCP. The VoIP Speaker will only do this if it has been configured touse DHCP and is configured with a valid Primary Quantum IP Address and has been assignedan Architecture Number. This method will ensure that VoIP Speakers configured to use DHCPwill still operate while in the temporary absence of a DHCP server.

Appendix7 With Quantum release 1.3.0, two standalone Java applications areincluded. The standalone “Speaker Configuration” Java application canbe used instead of the web-browser based Speaker Configuration Javaapplet. The standalone “Quantum Commander” Java application canbe used instead of of the web-browser based Quantum CommanderJava applet.

Standalone Java applications for QuantumCommander & VoIP Configuration

7.1 Install and Run Java Applications

NOTE: Several web browser vendors (e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) have droppedsupport for Java applets. This directly affects the availability of Bogen’s web-browser based“Speaker Configuration” and “Quantum Commander” Java applets, making theminaccessible via some web browsers. Bogen is now providing these two applications to ourcustomers as standalone Java applications (SpeakerConfig.jar and QuantumCommander.jar).These standalone Java applications can be used instead of web-browser based applications.

The “Keep trying to connect” checkbox (Figures 7-1 and 7-2) will force the login window to keeptrying to connect to the selected device, to help prevent receiving connection failed errors(see Figure 7-7 - Connection failed error). This is useful if you know the device has been rebooted,so you don’t want to keep manually trying toconnect. The Quantum Login window willkeep trying for about 2 minutes, the SpeakerLogin window will keep trying for about 3minutes. There is no way to interrupt the loginwindow while it’s trying to connect, you haveto wait for it to succeed or timeout.
