Contents
License requirement
The ENA amplifier supports up to 3 channels. Two channels for the two loudspeaker lines, and one channel for Microphone In/Line In.
- Each channel in use requires an ENA Amplifier Channel License.
- If you mirror channel 1 and 2, only one ENA Amplifier Channel License is required.
To install the license, log on to the web interface of the ICX-AlphaCom server, and select System Configuration > Licensing.
Configure the amplifier
Registration Settings
Use the web browser on a PC to log on to the web interface of the amplifier, go to Station Main > Main Settings, and:
- Set Station Mode = "Use AlphaCom"
- Enter the ICX-AlphaCom IP-address
- Enter Ch1 Out Directory Number
- Configure the IP Settings (IP address) of the amplifier
If the loudspeaker channel 2 is:
- to be addressed separately, enter a Ch2 Out Directory Number
- to be play identical audio as channel 1, enable Mirror Ch1 audio
- not to be used, set the channel to Disabled
Configure Loudspeaker lines
In the Amplifier Settings > Line Control, you can configure Loudspeaker Line Voltage to 70 or 100V, enable or disable channels and set a master volume.
Configure amplifier directory numbers in ICX-AlphaCom
Start the AlphaPro PC tool. Go to Users & Stations. You need to enter one or two directory numbers, depending on the number of channels you defined in the amplifier web interface.
Select a free user from the list box. In the General tab enter:
- Directory Number - must match the Directory Number configured in the amplifier
- Display Text - Any text
- Station Type - Set to Substation
- CCoIP Station - Tick this checkbox
If more than one channel is used, enter the second directory number on a free physical number.
As soon as the ENA Amplifier is registered to the ICX-AlphaCom server, one can call the amplifier by dialing the directory number of the amplifier.
The amplifier can also be included in Group Calls.
Volume control
- Output channels volume can be controlled from the amplifier GUI or the web interface (Amplifier Settings > Line Control > Channel 1/Channel 2 > Master Volume)
- Input audio channel gain can be controlled from amplifier GUI or the web interface
- Web and GUI settings are in sync, and will automatically update if changed in either place.
- Each channel have individual volume control, even if the two channels are combined into one channel.
- The amplifier supports Volume Override. The amplifier will increase the output level with 6dB when playing audio that has Volume Override active.
