Cautions and Warnings READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Follow the instructions in this installation manual. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to this product and associated equipment. Product operation and reliability depends on proper installation. DO NOT INSTALL ANY DAVID CLARK COMPANY PRODUCT THAT APPEARS DAMAGED. Upon unpacking your David Clark product, inspect the contents for shipping damage.
1. System Overview The Series 9100 Digital Intercom System is a configurable, weather-resistant, IP-based communication system suitable for use in all environments. It allows for wired and wireless users to communicate with each other and external audio equipment such as two-way radios, smart phones, other intercoms, and any other analog audio device with virtually unlimited configurability. Each user has a PTT button and 4 modes to select from called selections.

2. Mounting the Master Station Parts/Tools Required U9100 Series Digital Intercom System Master Station (44000G-01) M9100RM Rack-Mount Kit (44004G-01, optional) Pencil/Pen Drill 13/32-inch Drill Bit #8 Mounting Screws (customer supplied) Nuts (customer supplied) Lock-washers (customer supplied) Procedure Location Considerations Select a location on a flat surface that is out-of-the-way, and provides adequate room to attach all cables. The Master Station is immersion-proof (IP67).
3. Mounting Endpoints Parts/Tools Required U9100-series endpoint(s) (Headset Stations/Wireless Gateways) M9110FM Flush-Mount Kit (44004G-02, optional) Pencil/Pen Drill 13/32-inch Drill Bit #8 Mounting Screws (customer supplied) Nuts (customer supplied) Lock-washers (customer supplied) Procedure Location Considerations Select a location on a flat surface that is out-of-the-way, and provides adequate room to attach all cables. The U9100-series endpoints are immersion-proof (IP67).

4. System Cabling System Cabling is used to interface David Clark Series 9100 Endpoints to the 9100 Digital Master Station. This cabling must be Ethernet Category 5e or higher. David Clark offers two types of cabling as well as two RJ-45 connector options depending on the application and location.
Slide all pieces together and hand-tighten SCN-17-02. Figure 4.2 Waterproof connector assembly Figure 4.
5. Radio Cables The C91-20RD Radio Cables are used to interface a marine or mobile radio to the 9100 Digital Intercom System. One end of the cable connects to a U9104 or U9102 installed in the Master Station and the other end connects to the radio. Since the interface is different for each type of radio, the C91-20RD is left un-prepared at the radio end so that the installer may choose the correct interface connector.
6. Power Cable The C91-20PW is a 20-foot cable used to provide power to the 9100 Digital Intercom System. It has a connector on one end and the other end requires the installer to prepare. It is important to choose a power “pick-off” point which can provide 10 amperes of current at a voltage between 11-30VDC. Direct connection to a 10-Amp fuse/circuit-breaker is preferred.
o o Connect the RED to the positive (+) terminal. Connect the BLACK and SHIELD to the negative (-) terminal. 7. Auxiliary Audio The Auxiliary Audio connection is intended for use with line-level devices only. Typical connections include a portable CD/MP3 player’s headphone jack or the “Preamp Output” RCA jacks on a car/marine stereo. This cable can also be used to route audio from the Digital Intercom System to another device (such as a camera or recorder) .
8. Operation and Programming The Series 9100 Digital Intercom System has a variety of programming options and can satisfy virtually every configuration application. See the information and examples below for details. Headset Stations The U9110-series headset stations provide a fixed-position, wired interface into the U9100 Digital Intercom System.
Wireless Wireless Gateway The U9120-series Wireless Gateways provide an un-tethered interface into the U9100 Digital Intercom System. Each Wireless Gateway can be linked with up to four U91xxBSW belt stations.
Wireless Belt Stations Pressing and holding the Power button for approximately 5 seconds will power on/off the Wireless Belt Station. Linking Linking is accomplished by momentarily pressing the LINK button on the Wireless Gateway and the PTT button on the Wireless Belt Station. The Wireless Gateway and the Wireless Belt Station must be within approximately 1 to 3ft (0.5 to 1m) of each other in order for linking to be successful. This “close-link” mechanism prevents other devices from being linked.

User Interface 1. Once power is turned on to the system in about 30 seconds the web interface will be available. 2. The factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1 and authentication is disabled. 3. Connect a computer via Ethernet cable to an open switch card port. If all switch card ports are used, a PoE splitter such as CyberData #011187 or a PoE capable Ethernet switch may be used. 4. Open a web browser and go to http://192.168.2.1 5.

Figure 8.11: System Status Configuration Type There are three IP Configuration types available: • DHCP Server o The Master Station will auto-assign IP addresses to other network devices connected. o Use this option if the system will be operated in a stand-alone environment and not connected to an existing network. • DHCP Client (default) o The Master Station will look for a DHCP server on the network and use an IP address provided by the DHCP server.
Additional Networking Options • • • Hostname: A host name to identify this device on the network. DHCP Server, Smart DHCP, or Static IP the following options apply: o IP Address o Subnet Mask o Gateway o DNS Server o DHCP Pool Start (not applicable for Static IP) o DHCP Pool Size (not applicable for Static IP; Number of addresses to assign) Click Save IP Config to save changes. The system must be restarted for most settings to take effect.
Talk Group Programming Talk groups are where most of the settings for the system will be made. Talk groups are a method of presenting the powerful options of the system to the user in a straight-forward and intuitive way. Each Headset Station or Wireless Belt Station is capable of (4) Selections as well as a PTT button. Talk groups are configured such that different combinations of selection and PTT pressed/not pressed can have different settings.
Talk Group Example 1: Multiple users on intercom, hot mic • • Multiple users talking and listening to each other Users can be on any selection (1-4) and do not have to press PTT to be heard Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Click Add New Talk Group. Rename talk group if desired by clicking . Click to expand each Headset Station or Wireless Gateway you wish to add to this group. To identify a device, click the and all LEDs on the device will turn red for 10 seconds.
Talk Group Example 2: Multiple users on intercom, press PTT to talk • • Multiple users talking and listening to each other. Users can be on any selection (1-4) but must press PTT in order to be heard by others. Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. Create a new talk group. Click to expand each Headset or Wireless user you wish to add to this group. Under Outputs select All Rx. For wireless, select Ear.
Talk Group Example 3: Multiple users on hot-mic intercom, press PTT to talk over radio • • • Multiple users talking to each other freely (no PTT) Press PTT to talk over radio Selection may be anything (1-4) Steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Create a new talk group and rename it “Intercom” Click to expand each Headset or Wireless user you wish to add to this group. Under Outputs select All Rx. For wireless, select Ear. Under Inputs select Mic.

Figure 8.22 Talk Group Example 5 – PTT Headsets Donning/Positioning Each Headset should be worn so that the ear seals fit snugly against the head, and the ears are fully enclosed within the inside of the ear seals. Adjust the microphone boom so that the microphone is positioned no more than ¼” from the lips. Using the Headset in this manner ensures optimal performance, especially in high-noise environments.
PTT Switches The H9100-series Headsets have PTT switches conveniently located on the mic boom, just behind the microphone. These can be used to transmit over a talk group or a two-way radio, redundant to the PTT switches found on the Headset Station or Wireless Belt Station.. See 8. Operation and Programming for more information.
