Interoperability Now! 

3-9

 

 

3.3.16

 

Command Port 

The port used by the NXU-2A for receiving commands via the telnet protocol or from a WAIS 
Controller.    The  value  defaults  to  23  and  under  normal  circumstances  should  not  need  to  be 
changed.  If necessary, the command port may be changed by using the CMDPORT command.  
Type CMDPORT <port  number>  and press  ENTER.   The port number  must range from 1 to 
65535 and must be different than the VoIP port. 

3.3.17

 

Input Level Boost +20db 

The receive input level may optionally be boosted by +20db in order to accommodate low level 
signal  sources.    Provisioning  via  the  web  interface  allows  selecting  either  “No  Boost”  or, 
“Boost +20db” in the ‘RX Boost Mode’ field. 

3.3.18

 

TX Delay 

Additional delay may be provided to the transmit audio path.  Via the web interface ‘TX Delay 
(mS)’ field, the user may introduce up to 10 seconds of delay, in specified in 1 mS increments.  
Upon  editing  the  field  with  numeric  data,  the  NXU-2A  will  round  to  the  nearest  100mS 
interval.  When additional delay is used, the PTT\ signal will be asserted prior to the delayed 
audio being presented, allowing LMR trunking systems to be accessed without audio loss. 

3.3.19

 

RX Delay 

Additional delay may be provided to the receive audio path.  Via the web interface ‘RX Delay 
(mS)’  field,  the  user  may  introduce  from  0  to  10  seconds  of  delay,  specified  in  1  mS 
increments.   Upon editing the field  with  numeric data, the NXU-2A  will round to  the nearest 
100mS  interval.    When  additional  delay  is  used,  the  received  audio  will  be  delayed  before 
being sent to the network. 

3.3.20

 

VMR 

Voice  Modulation  Recognition  has  been  added  to  allow  interfacing  with  radios  which  do  not 
provide a separate COR signal.  VMR provides a more robust method of ‘COR Sensing’ than 
VOX alone.  VMR mode may be selected via the web interface ‘COR Sense’ field pulldown 
menu.    When  VMR  mode  is  chosen,  the  hardware  COR  signal  is  ignored,  and  audio  content 
with the appropriate speech characteristics is allowed to simulate the COR signal.  

3.3.21

 

VOX and VMR Sensitivity Adjustments 

When either VOX or VMR COR sensing is selected, three levels of sensitivity adjustments are 
provided to  allow  greater flexibility.  Via the web interface, “Low” sensitivity  requires more 
signal content to recognize and simulate COR activity.  “High” sensitivity requires less signal 
content to recognize and simulate COR activity.  The default sensitivity is “Medium”. 

3.3.22

 

Restoring Factory Defaults 

The NXU-2A allows the user to restore the original factory default operating conditions.  This 
may be useful if the unit has been incorrectly configured, and it is necessary to return to a well-
defined  state.    To  restore  the  factory  default  conditions,  the  power  to  the  unit  needs  to  be 
removed  and  restored  while  rear  panel  switch  “SW1”  (

DEFAULTS

)  is  depressed.    When  the 

front panel  LED’s have blinked, the switch may be released, and the unit will be operational 
using the JPS factory default parameters.  The IP address will return to “

192.168.1.200

”, which 

will allow web configuration.  All other previously assigned user parameters will be lost during 
this process.
