ENA Amplifier Configuration (SIP)

ENA Amplifiers in SIP mode

This article describes the configuration settings available via the web interface of the ENA IP Network Amplifier in SIP mode.

Notes

Some menu options are available only when Advanced Configuration mode is enabled. Screen shots may differ somewhat depending on firmware version and ENA amplifier model

Main

Information

• Log In to the amplifier
• The Information page will now be displayed, showing the amplifier configuration and status.

The Information page

To find the IP address of the amplifier, use the Intercom Management Tool, IMT. On ENA amplifiers with a front display one can use the Menu Selection Knob, and navigate to Information > Network.

Main Settings

• Click Station Main > Main Settings to access the page for configuring Station Mode and IP parameters.

The Main Settings page

Mode: Select the SIP radio-button.

Preferred Internet Protocol: Select either IPV4 or IPV6. (Not available in the ENA2060 amplifier).

IP Settings:

• DHCP – Select this option if the IP station shall receive IP Settings from a DHCP server.
• Static IP – Select this option if the IP station shall use a static IP address. Enter values for:

- IP-address

- Subnet-mask

- Gateway

- DNS Server 1 (option for network administration)

- DNS Server 2 (option for network administration)

- Hostname (option for network administration)

• Disable Reset to Factory default settings using frontboard and I/O: If enabled, factory reset will only be possible from the web interface. This is disabled by default.

• Enable RSTP: RSTP is only required when using redundant networking (Not available in the ENA2060 amplifier).

Click Save followed by Apply to apply the new configuration settings.

Time Settings (Available in the ENA2060 amplifier only).

• Enable Network Time Protocol, set the IP address of the NTP Server, Select Region and Zone

Recovery

The Recovery page

• Full reboot: Perform a full Linux reboot. No configuration is lost
• Partial reboot: Perform a restart of the intercom application. No configuration is lost
• Factory reset: Set all parameters to Factory Default values. The amplifier will get static IP Address 169.254.1.100.
• Factory reset with DHCP: Set all parameters to Factory Default values. The amplifier will get IP Address from DHCP server. If no DHCP server in the network, it will get a random 169.254.x.x IP address.

SIP Configuration

Account/Call

Select SIP Configuration -> Account/Call to access the page for configuring the SIP Account Settings.

The Account/Call Settings page

Amplifier Settings

• Name: Enter a name for the amplifier.
• Transport: Transport protocol to use for SIP. Choose between UDP (default), TCP or TLS.

Channel 1/2 Account Settings

• Name: Enter a name that will be shown on the display at the remote party.

For details, see Distributed Automatic Volume Control (DAVC) (SIP).

This menu option is available when the Advanced Configuration mode is enabled.

GPI Settings

An input can be used to initiate and tear down a call between a user and an amplifier channel.

The GPI Settings page

GPIx On:

• Idle: Call Destination
• Call: Hangup Call

GPIx Off:

• Idle: Call Destination
• Call: Hangup Call

Inputs can also be used to report faults from external system/devices via SNMP Trap. See External_Custom_Faults

Relay/Output Settings

Details are described in this article: GPO Output configuration (ENA amplifier in SIP mode)

Multicast Paging

Multicast Paging enables the ENA amplifier to receive RTP multicast streaming from e.g. 3rd party iPBX (e.g. Asterisk). Up to 10 different Multicast paging groups can be defined.

For details, see Multicast Paging (Edge/SIP)

This menu option is available when the Advanced Configuration mode is enabled.

Station Administration

Change Password

Go to Station Administration -> Change Password

The Change Password page

Type in the old password and the new password, then click save.

Device GUI PIN
There is also an option to set a pin code for the Device GUI. A Read only-user and a Full Access-user can be enabled, or changing settings from the GUI can be disabled entirely.
The amplifier arrives with no pin code active by default.

The GUI PIN option is applicable only to older ENA2200/2400 models with front display

Manual Upgrade

The software of the amplifier can be upgraded via the web interface. see Turbine_Software_Upgrade for details.

Backup and Restore

From the web interface of the amplifier it is possible to backup and restore the configuration data. See Backup and Restore for more information.

This menu option is available when the Advanced Configuration mode is enabled.

Logging

Logs can be useful for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. See Logging - IP Stations on how to enable and collect logs.

This page is used for advanced troubleshooting mainly by developers.

The Advanced App. Config page

This menu option is available when the Advanced Configuration mode is enabled.

Advanced SIP

This menu option is available when the Advanced Configuration mode is enabled.

Updates

The ENA Amplifier can be configured to automatically poll configuration from a TFTP server. The IP address of this TFTP server can be obtained using DHCP procedures or be manually configured. See TFTP Provisioning for more information.

SIP Test

The SIP Test page

• Call: Insert a directory number to establish a call to. Call is initiated from the Channel 1, Channel 2 or Input Line SIP account when pressing the "Call" button.
• Play Media: Enter a filename, press Play File to play the file. For valid filenames, see below.
• Stream Audio: Select a Remote Hostname, Codec and port, press Start Stream to start streaming audio.
• GPI State: Shows the current state of the GPI.

Play Media

This feature is available from firmware version 8.2.3.2

Use this feature to play audio files directly from the amplifier to Channel 1 or 2, or to the Input Line. This can be useful when commissioning the PA system. One can play e.g. the ITU speech simulation file or Pink Noise, and adjust the master volume to appropriate level without the need of setting up calls.

You need to type in the filename as per tables below (the audio files come with the amplifier, no need to upload).

• Check Repeat to play the file in loop
• To stop playing, delete the file name and press "Play File".

Testing

Verify the Fault Relay and LEDs.

The Testing page

• LEDs: The front LEDs of the ENA2x00-AC2 amplifier will flash for a few seconds
• Fault Relay: The fault relay of the ENA2x00-AC2 amplifier will be triggered for a few seconds

The LED and Relay test is not supported in the ENA2060 amplifier.

IO Monitoring

The ENA amplifier offers monitoring of the outputs and the inputs:

RCOs

IO Monitoring > RCOs

The RCO monitoring is not available in the ENA2060 amplifier.

RCIs

The inputs can be used in a conventional way (On/Off), or they can be monitored for Open/Short. A resistor network is needed to enable monitoring of the input.

IO Monitoring > RCIs

]

• Monitor RCI enables monitoring of RCI.
• Not Pressed - Lower voltage threshold for the RCI to be considered not activated. No need to change this value if using the recommended resistor values.

The RCI monitoring is not available in the ENA2060 amplifier.

External Custom Faults

A fault signal (closed contact) from an external system/device can be connected to one of the inputs of the amplifier. The amplifier can be configured to report on SNMP trap when the input is triggered. One can add a customized text to be included in the report.

IO Monitoring > External Custom Faults

• Enabled: Enable/Disable the input as "external custom fault trigger". When activated an SNMP Trap will be generated. Input actions will still be acted upon if also configured in the GPI Settings.
• Level: Fault priority level
• Description: Fault description. The text will be present in the SNMP trap.
• Activation: Activation method. Toggle will activate fault on contact close, on next contact close fault will be cleared. On/Off will keep fault active while contact is closed
• Reversed: Reverses reporting logic. Contact closed becomes opened and reversed.

The SNMP trap Custom Fault must be enabled
