General Information 

Product Overview 

The GAI-Tronics SP2 station is a modula

r

 

industrial multicast VoIP (Voice over Internet 
Protocol) communication system.  The standard 
SP2 Zone 2/22 configuration is an outdoor, 
multi-party, handset/speaker amplifier station 
using ac power with RTU control.  They are 
constructed of black carbon-loaded, glass-
reinforced polyester and are extremely 
weatherproof and corrosion resistant.  A 
number of options are available to add to or 
modify station capabilities (see Features and 
Options). 

SP2 stations connect to an Ethernet network so 
the loss of a single station will not adversely 
affect the system as a whole.  The stations 
require a 100 Mbps link to a switch or router 
using Category 5 or better cable.  To ensure the quality of SP2 audio, it is recommended that SP2 network 
traffic be isolated from other devices and that network switches and routers be properly configured for 
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping and multicast filtering.  Maximum cable runs 
between SP2 stations and network switches are limited to 100 meters to comply with Ethernet standards.
