Page 4 Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Before You Install Power Requirements The AP10 automatically accommodates voltage requirements of 100–240Vac, 50/60Hz, 30W. Telephone Line Requirements The AP10 model operates on a standard analog telephone line and connects to the telephone system with a standard RJ11C modular jack. If you do not have an RJ11C jack where you want to install your AP10, call your telephone company for installation.
Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Page 5 Refer to AP10 back-panel connections (See Figure 5, below) for a description and placement of each of the connections you will be making. Each connector is numbered for easy identification. To install your AP10, follow these step-bystep instructions: VOLTAGE RANGE 100v-240V 2A FREQUENCY 50Hz/60Hz G-LINK IN 2 3 1 Figure 5.
Page 6 Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Installation Continued G-LINK NETWORK NOTE: If the Gentner units to be networked are stacked vertically, connect them using the short RJ45 jumper (provided). If networking Gentner units (maximum distance 20 feet between units), Gentner Communications recommends that category five twistedpair (10BaseT LAN) cable be used. The first Gentner unit in the chain must have the G-LINK IN connector [2] terminated with a G-Link terminator (provided).
Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Page 7 Operational Features The AP10 has a variety of operational features selectable through dip-switch settings, including noise burst/auto-adapt, receive AGC control, auto-answer, auto-disconnect, call progression/loop, receive reduction and hook-flash duration. Default settings (as shipped from the factory) are denoted by an asterisk “*”.

Auto-Answer Dip Switch Settings Dip Switch 4 4* Position ON (UP) OFF (DOWN) Description Auto-answer enabled Auto-answer disabled (follows the serial command) AUTO-ANSWER SERIAL COMMAND NOTE: To issue the AA (auto-answer) serial command to toggle auto-answer, the dip switch 4 must be OFF (DOWN).
Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Page 9 Calibration The following information will help you make adjustments to optimize your system performance. Verify all components and all connections. Ensure that proper power is supplied to the AP10 and that the unit is OFF (the red OFF LED [4] will be lit; Figure 12, below). If the green ON LED [3] is lit, press the OFF button [6]. 1 2 Transmit Receive 3 4 On Off 5 6 Figure 12.
Page 10 Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Calibration Continued Receive Level Adjustment Someone in the distant location should speak into the microphone at a normal distance, in a normal voice; the local room should maintain silence. Adjust the AP800 input that is connected to the AP10 RECEIVE OUTPUT to 0dB. The AP10 RECEIVE LED [2] should be solid green while the person is speaking and extinguish when the person stops. Calibration is now complete.
Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Page 11 If your call is through the handset only (the red OFF LED [4] will be lit), hang up when the conversation is complete. AUTO-DISCONNECT NOTE: If auto-disconnect is enabled (dip switch 5), the AP10 will disconnect upon sensing loop drop or call-progress tones (depending on the position of dip switch 6).

Page 18 Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Appendix B: Serial Commands The AP products accept serial commands via the AP800’s serial port; the commands are then channeled along the G-Link network to all interconnected AP products. In the case of the AP10, the commands provide the same control as the front-panel controls, plus several others. The following commands pertain only to the AP10.
Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Page 19 AA This command activates and deactivates the auto-answer feature. O AA Explanation is the action (i.e. auto-answer enable, auto-answer diasable, current state) X=0 Parameter disables auto-answer X=1 Parameter enables auto-answer X=2 Parameter to toggle the state from one state to the other (regardless of current state) X= Null Parameter to report back the current state.
Page 20 Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Appendix B: Continued The flag symbol “O” signals the start of a command line. For serial port command protocol and syntax, see page 18. LVL This command reports back the transmit or receive level for a unit. O LVL Explanation is which parameter to be measured.
Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Page 21 NULL This command sends a short noise burst down the telephone line and forces the AP10 to adapt to the telephone line. This command is write only. O NULL Return Values If the renull succeeded, the following is returned out the serial port: NULL RING When the AP10 receives a ring at the dialed-up location, the AP10 will respond O RING TE Controls and reports the connection status of the unit.
Page 22 Audio PerfectTM 10 Installation and Operations Manual Appendix B: Continued The flag symbol “O” signals the start of a command line. For serial port command protocol and syntax, see page 18. TERLE This command reports back the telephone echo return loss enhancement (ERLE) for the AP10 in dB. This is a readonly parameter.
