AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 overview Overview Voice Communications Via Your IP Network The AudioMate 360 family of IP voice gateways links your IP network with a new world of voice communications possibilities. Now, disparate communications modes and equipment can interoperate as never before. The AudioMate 360a interfaces with baseband audio devices such as microphones, public address amplifiers, broadcast receivers, and portable music players.

Front Panel Controls There are no controls on the front panel of the AudioMate 360r. Rear Panel Rear Panel Indicators LAN Port — The LAN jack has two built-in lamps: a solid green one indicating that an electrical link has been established, the other flashing green indicating packet activity.

The supplied power adapter converts 120 Volt a.c. main power to 12 Volts d.c. at 500 mAmps maximum. The power plug has a 1.3mm inner diameter. Rear Panel Controls Reset — This recessed push button reboots the processor in the AudioMate 360. Depress using a pen or any device with a small tip.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 config AudioMate 360 The Address Finder utility is available at our web site: www.voiceinterop.com Configuration Individual AudioMate 360 units are configured via web browser pointed to the management address of the unit. The units are shipped with DHCP enabled and will accept whatever address is assigned by your DHCP server, within approximately 60 seconds after power-up.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 RTP Remote IP is relative to this unit, the one that you are configuring. Appendix B has more detail on selecting multicast addresses with pointers to reference sources. RTP Remote IP is the multicast group or unicast address of the other end of the link, not this unit. This might be a WAVE media server or another AM360. The Class D multicast range lies between 225.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 Receive De-Emphasis Enable will apply a 6dB per octave roll-off of high frequencies; this is effectively a low-pass filter using an industry standard curve in cases where the audio input to the AudioMate 360r is connected to the discriminator output of a conventional radio.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 cleared. If the audio is fed directly to the FM modulator of the radio, this check box should be checked to enable pre-emphasis. Transmit Gain accepts a number from 0 to 63 representing 64 steps of attenuation or gain in the audio path from the IP network to the attached radio transmitter. Level 0 represents the lowest audio level while 63 represents the highest audio level.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 status Status The AudioMate 360 family of IP gateways provide status reports to make adjustments and diagnostics easier. The AudioMate 360r provides the means to view the status of the digital input and output signals as well as to view the current settings of the transmit and receive audio levels. Global Status The Global Status page displays various parameters of the common interface board.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 Login IP Address shows the address of YOUR computer from which you are managing this unit. LAN Port MAC Address shows the Ethernet address of the unit’s LAN interface. This uniquely identifies the unit on your network and can be useful in differentiating among several AudioMate 360 units on the same network. IP Mode shows whether the unit received its address from a DHCP server or is configured with a static IP address.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 COS Input indicates that the state of this digital input line is currently at the Active level, whether defined to be high or low. In a properly configured system this would go active when the attached radio’s receiver is receiving a signal. NSQ Detector indicates whether the unit’s built-in noise squelch detector is receiving enough discriminator noise to turn off the path from the receive audio input to the LAN port.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 A Appendix A - Interface Examples Ritron Nexus Radio Base The Ritron NRB is a small, lightweight radio available in VHF and UHF bands that is wellsuited to demonstration use. It interfaces with the AudioMate 360r via a straight–through E&M or standard Category 5 LAN cable on the hardrware revision B and later units. Not Working? Configure Ritron radio E&M jumpers to positions A, C, E for proper operation.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 Motorola Waris Series Most Motorola mobile radios in the Waris series (CM and CDM models) use the same pinouts for basic interfacing via a 16-pin accessory connector on the rear apron. A number of the accessory pins are programmable in the radio using Motorola’s closely guarded CPS programming software. Not Working? Proper programming of radio accessory pins is ESSENTIAL to interface with Motorola radios.

AM360r User Manual revised 2009.02.16 for Hardware Rev. B Firmware Version 1.00.23 B Appendix B Multicast Addressing Notes Note 1: Avoid addresses of the form 224.0.0.x Traffic to addresses of the form 224.0.0.x is often flooded to all switch ports. This address range is reserved for link-local uses. Many routing protocols assume that all traffic within this range will be received by all routers on the network. Hence (at least all Cisco) switches flood traffic within this range.
