Configuring the Audio Module
The network camera’s administration pages provide all the tools required for successfully configuring
the AXIS 2191. From the camera’s home page, click on the link to
Administration Tools
. A new page
containing the tools will open. To complete the configuration of your audio module, follow these
instructions:
1. From the Admin tools, click
External Devices
. Select the
AXIS 2191 Audio Module as the device to use. Click
Save
.
Note:
If you do not see External Devices, then your camera
does not have the correct firmware installed and it must be
upgraded.
2. Under External Devices, click
Audio
. This opens the
configuration page for the audio module (see illustration
below).
3. Select the audio mode. This can be:
• Full-Duplex (Talk and Listen simultaneously)
• Half-Duplex (Talk and Listen)
• Simplex - Talk
• Simplex - Listen
This selection will depend on your application. See page 5 for more information.
4. Enter the number of clients that will be able
to access the application at any one time.
Use this setting to limit access if you only
have limited bandwidth available.
5. If you are using Half-Duplex mode, the
Send
option can be used to send audio from
the client currently transmitting to all the
other clients, and not just to the server end.
Set to
Yes
to enable the function.
6. When using Half-Duplex mode, the
Push-
To-Talk
button will be visible. Select the
mode to use for this button. Selecting
Toggle
means that when the button is
pushed it will remain so until pushed a
second time.
Instant
means that the button
will remain active (pushed) until released.
7. Adjust the
Volume Out
control until a
satisfactory speaker level is heard. The
L
evel Out LED
can be used to check that
there is audio being received. Note that
both the control and the LED are on the
audio module itself.
