Device ID
The rotary ID switches are located on the bottom of the DS-4 and give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in hexadecimal
format. All DS-4 units must have a unique Device ID to function within a Vocia Paging World (i.e., it is not possible to have two DS-4
units with the same Device ID of hex 07). To assign a Device ID of hex 07, turn the LSB switch to 7 and leave the MSB switch on 0.
To create an ID of hex B7, turn the LSB switch to 7 and turn the MSB switch to B. Device ID switches should be set using a 0.1 inch
(2.5mm) to 0.12 inch (3.0mm) flat blade screwdriver. More information on setting IDs and the hexadecimal numbering scheme used
in Vocia can be found in the Vocia Help File.
Please note : Changes made to the Device ID while connected to the network require a power cycle in order to take effect.
CobraNet
The DS-4 is a CobraNet device. All CobraNet routing and bundle assignments are processed by the Vocia devices locally. Vocia makes
dynamic use of available bundles in CobraNet. Vocia devices are currently not interoperable with non-Vocia devices.
Network Connection
The DS-4 has two RJ45 connectors located on the bottom of the unit that are labeled (1) Audio Network and (2) Option. The Audio Network
connector should be wired to standard copper Ethernet cable to interface the DS-4 to a Vocia system via a PoE-compliant network switch. The
Option connector is currently not used. The RJ45 connector provides two LEDs that indicate Ethernet link and network activity (see table
below).
