Connecting Outside Post to the Base
Plug the properly terminated Cat 5 cable coming from the speaker post into the Cat 5 port that is connected to the phoenix connector on the base
station. Do not plug the Cat 5 cable into the network port on the base station.
Warning: Do not connect or disconnect the Cat 5 cable to the base station while it is powered on. Failure to follow this guideline will result in damage to the
microphone and will void the system warranty.
Connecting Power to the Base Station
Using the supplied power supply, connect the terminal connector to the power terminal on the base station. Once connected to the base
station, plug the supply into the electrical outlet. Once plugged into the electrical outlet a LED indicator light should be visible on the power
supply and the base should begin its boot up process.
Base Station is Booting Up
Once power is connected to the base station it will begin its boot process. Once booted up all the way it will begin to check for connections to the speaker
post. If all connections are good, it will proceed to the main screen, but, if it cannot connect to the outside post microphone it will pop up a failed message.
(See the Troubleshooting section for help).
Testing the System
Once the system is fully booted up testing can start. A headset with a fully charged battery is required.
•Follow the instructions in the operations manual to register the headset to the base station.
•Verify on the system that the system is ready and no system error messages have shown up on the screen.
•Testing the speaker and microphone at the speaker post can be done in one of the following ways. Using a vehicle and parking it over the loop will activate the
system and alert the headset and allow testing to start. Also, putting the system into override will activate the speaker and microphone at the speaker post
without the need for a vehicle on the loop to activate it. Please note that if this method is used, the vehicle detector and loop will need to be tested separately
to verify they are working. Verify that after testing the system is taken out of override.
•With the system speaker and microphone activated, test the system and adjust speaker and microphone volumes to levels that are needed for the specific
location.
•If the kitchen speaker is in use, verify that system settings are correct for it and it is functioning.
•Verify all other settings on the system and refer to the operations manual for any specific questions on them.
