General Information
Product Overview
The GAI-Tronics SP2 station is a modular industrial
multicast VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
communication system. The standard Class I Div. 2
Fiber SP2 configuration is an indoor, multi-party,
handset/speaker amplifier station using ac power with
RTU control. They are constructed of cold rolled steel
with a gray or safety orange powder-coat finish. A
number of options are available to add to or modify
station capabilities (see the Features and Options
sections below).
SP2 stations connect to an Ethernet network so the loss
of a single station will not adversely affect the entire
system. Each station requires a 100 Mbps link to a
switch or router using fiber optic cable. Isolate SP2
network traffic from other network devices to ensure the
quality of SP2 audio. Properly configure network
switches and routers for IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) snooping and multicast filtering.
Maximum cable runs between fiber SP2 stations and
network switches are determined by the type of fiber
optic cable used in the installation.
