Operation
Once a BTR-240 or BTR-24 is running, the TR-
240 may be switched on at anytime. The TR-
240 has key features that can be set during boot
and after the unit has booted. These settings
include the following:
•
Mode of Operation
•
Local Headset Configuration
1
Setting the Beltpack Mode
The TR-240 has three different and selectable
modes of operation: “wireless” mode, “wired”
mode, and “master wireless” mode. The normal
mode is “wireless”.
A TR-240 beltpack is configured to boot in one
of these modes by holding a specific button
sequence while the unit is booting.
NOTE
: Once the TR-240 mode is set, it will
continue to boot in that mode until different
mode is selected on startup.
1.1
“Wireless” (Normal) Mode
In this configuration, a base station or access
point provides wireless coverage over the area
in which the beltpacks will be used.
1.
Ensure that a BTR-240 base station or
BTR-24 access point is configured and
running the in the desired coverage area
of use.
2.
Turn on the TR-240. The battery light
will turn green immediately indicating
power.
3.
To place the TR-240 in “wireless” mode,
if not already set, press and hold the
<Talk> button as the beltpack boots.
4.
After 20 seconds boot time, a voice
prompt “wireless” will be heard in the
headphone and the “Channel 1” button
light will activate indicating the unit is
running.
5.
Release the <Talk> button if it is being
pressed.
6.
Use as normal.
NOTE:
In “wireless” mode, the wired Ethernet
port is disabled.
1.2 “Wired”
Mode
Beltpacks are directly connected to each other
via an Ethernet cable or through a building’s
Ethernet infrastructure. In “wired” mode, the
wireless transmitter is disabled.
1.
Connect the TR-240 to an existing wired
network or computer using a standard
Ethernet cable.
2.
Turn on the beltpack. The battery light
will turn green immediately indicating
power.
3.
To place the TR-240 in “wired” mode, if
not already set, press and hold the <2>
(blue) button as the beltpack boots.
4.
After 20 seconds boot time, a voice
prompt “wired” will be heard in the
headphone, followed by the current
software version.
5.
Release the <2> button if it is being
pressed.
6.
Use as normal.
NOTE:
In “wired” mode, the wireless
transmitter is disabled.
1.3 “Master
Wireless”
Mode
A beltpack can be configured to act as a base
station and eliminate the need to have an actual
BTR-240 base station or BTR-24 access point.
This “master” beltpack may still be used for
audio just as a normal beltpack. In “master
wireless” mode, the wired Ethernet port is
disabled.
