Overview

The STNet-Switch is an intelligent audio grade 16 port, proprietary 40w PoE, CobraNet®-network Switch. The STNet-Switch allows

users to connect up to 16 SoundTube IP speakers via Cat-5 and power them using the internal 40w PoE. Expansion beyond 16

speakers can be done one of three ways; with additional STNet-Switches, using a PoE+ switch or using a non-powered switch with

local power. The Switch has 2 non-powered gigabit ports for high speed expansion and a WAN port for external communication.

The Switch has a built in DHCP server for IP assignment which it uses to identify each end point on the CobraNet network. It

constantly monitors the health of the SoundTube network and speakers and reports if it detects faults. The switch has visual fault

indicators on the front panel and 2 contact closure ports on the rear for external audible and visual fault alarms. It also has the ability

to send an email, either at user preferred intervals indicating the system is operating normally, or immediately upon detection of a

fault. The system monitors PoE power, endpoints on the network, and 3 variables on the speakers: the voice coil, operating

temperature and the amplier.

Hardware connections

Overview: CobraNet operates on its own network, but for control and email alerts, the STNet-Switch (through its WAN port) must

be connected to an outside network that has internet access. (Most installations will use the existing internet access network that

is on-site). This will allow the ST-NET switch to send email alerts on the status of the system and allow access to the ST-Net from

any location as long as there is access to the network. Connecting a computer through the router on the existing ofce network will

allow the SoundTube Control Center software to communicate with all the devices on the CobraNet.

Connections:

1. Make sure the front panel rocker switch on the front of the Power Supply is set to off.

2. Connect the 6 pin power cable between the Power Supply and the Switch. Push the cable all the way in until you feel it lock.

3. Connect the AC power cable to the back of the Power Supply and to a 110/220v power source.

4. Connect the WAN port on the STNet-Switch to a LAN port on the router. See illustration 4.

Speaker Adjustments

Install Instructions For:

IP Series

1. Highlight the speaker to be set up.

2. Click on the device Cong tab; the speaker screen will come up. From this screen, each speaker can be individually

adjusted for EQ, delay and level.

Note: Do not set the level lower than -25dB. Doing

so will give you incorrect readings on the speaker

monitoring fault detection circuit.

3. If using the speaker with a PoE plus switch,

uncheck the 40w mode box. This will automatically

set the limiters to the PoE plus mode.

4. The speaker screen has a pink noise generator

that can be used to equalize and set levels on the

speaker. Lower the level on the slide control and click

the Pink noise enable box. Slowly increase the level

until the SPL is sufcient to equalize the speaker. Use

an RTA to help equalize the speaker to the desired

response.

Connecting Cobranet devices to the STNet switch

The STNet switch is a IEEE 802.3 compatable PoE switch. Any device needing PoE or PoE plus may be connected to the switch

using one of the 1-16 LAN ports. Prior to connecting the device go into the STNet Switch device cong screen and in the Ethernet

port setting section select P for the setting. The default is H for the STNet proprietary 40W PoE.

5. Once all the parameters have been set correctly save the settings by clicking on the “Store as Default” Button.

6. The speaker screen has two buttons for saving and loading the speaker parameters set in section 4. Saving the

conguration allows the same conguration to be loaded on another speaker (or multiple speakers) and if there is a

failure to load the congurations on a new speaker.

To save a conguration:

a. Click Save.

b. Name the conguration.

c. Select yes to start the speaker with these setting.

7. Once you are nished close the speaker screen, make sure persistence is checked and click on the apply button.

8. To load a saved conguration:

a. Highlight the speaker and click on Device cong .

b. Select Load Cong.

c. Find the program le you wish to load and double click on it.

System Monitoring

Overview: The STNet has its own built-in self-monitoring system. The system monitors the operational functions of the switch

and speakers and alerts the user of faults in three ways. The status lights on the front panel will go from green to amber, external

visual and audible devices connected to the rear connectors will activate and an email alert will be sent. If there is a fault in the

system, the user will be notied by any of the alarms, or any combination of the alarms, depending on user preferences.

External fault alarm setup

Both the audible and visual alarm ports in the back of the STNet-Switch can be congured to turn on an external alarm when

the system encounters a fault. The ports are relays which are either open or closed.

To use the ports for external alarms, connect the audible or visual device to the Phoenix connector. The port acts as an on/off

switch for the device. When the system is operating normally the contact is open and creates an open circuit. When a fault is

detected the port closes and creates a closed circuit. The relays are rated for 30VDC/1A

When using multiple switches each switch will monitor the speakers connected to it. In this case the External alarms should be

hooked up to each switch in parallel so if one has a contact closure caused by a fault it will set off the audible or visual alarm.

Reset port

Overview: The reset port needs a single pole single throw switch to turn fault monitoring on/off and reset the fault alarms. It

clears faults once they have been xed by closing then reopening the contacts on the port. It also acts as a turn off switch for

the fault alarms by keeping it in the closed position. This is useful if is there is a fault that cannot be repaired right away.

Note: When storing the settings to a speaker the fault alarms should be turned off or the network alarm will activate.

Installing a reset switch

1. Install a SPST (single pole, single throw) switch (not included) in an convenient area so an authorized person can turn the

switch on (open) or off (closed). If security is a concern use a key activated switch.

2. Wire the SPST switch in step 1 to the Alarm Reset port on the back of the switch using a Euro Connector (included in the box).

3. Leave the switch in the open position to turn the fault monitoring on.

4. If an alarm activates turn the switch to the closed position and x the fault.

5. Once the fault is xed turn the switch back to the open position to reactivate the Fault Alarms.

Email Notication Setup

Overview: Email notications are sent for two reasons. The rst is to let you know if the system is operating properly. The switch

can be set up to send this email from as frequently as once every hour to once every three days. The second reason an email

will be sent is if the system detect a fault. Under this circumstance an email will be sent immediately.
