Ethernet Control
Hi-Fi2 is equipped with an Ethernet port which makes it
network accessible. When connected to the local
network, the Hi-Fi2 can be completely controlled and
configured by other compatible IP devices on the
network. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with
an HAI Music Gateway (HAI Part Number: 84A00-1)
or other compatible audio source, the Hi-Fi2 VSC can
display metadata (album, artist, and track) from the
source and is able to control the source using transport
control commands.
To access the Hi-Fi2 from the network, connect the port
labeled “Ethernet” to a network switch or router using
Cat 5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP). Each end of the
wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector. The wiring
scheme for the Cat 5 cable is standard EIA/TIA 568A.
Page / Mute Input
The Hi-Fi2 paging feature offers the capability of playing a single
audio source over all zone speakers. If paging is used, the paging
audio source will be connected as audio Source 8. Hi-Fi2 is also
equipped with a Page Input which will, when activated, turn all zones
on at the preset paging volume and switch all zones to Source 8.
When the input is deactivated, all audio zones will be returned to
their previous source selection, power state, and volume setting.
When used with an HAI controller and Two-Way Voice Module with
Line-Level output and Mute/Page Control, custom announcements
can be made over all zone speakers when certain events take place.
If desired, the Page function can be used to mute all zones instead of
making an announcement. For example, you may simply want all of
the zones on the Hi-Fi2 systems to be muted when someone is at the
door or when the telephone is ringing. To configure Hi-Fi2 to mute
all zones, set the Paging Volume for each zone to “0” as described
under “Setting Paging Volume” in the Hi-Fi2 User’s Guide.
To activate the Page / Mute function, short the two wires on a mono
patch cord. When activated, all zones are turned on at the preset
paging volume (or muted) and switched to Source 8. The wires on
the patch cord may be shorted through relay contacts or a switch. If a
solid state switch is used, Tip is positive relative to Ring.
