VIPA Hosted MPS

MPS10-G Microphone

VIPA Hosted MPS IP Microphone

A VIPA Hosted MPS IP Microphone provides the flexibility of installing the microphone anywhere on the network and is not required to be connected locally to the hosting VIPA device. It can be powered via PoE (42 – 57 V DC) or if required, can be powered locally using an external PSU (15 - 40 V DC) connected to the MPS Router 1 Mic Port and a standard Ethernet connection to the Ethernet Port.

The example below will provide instructions on how to add an VIPA hosted MPS10 IP

VCT Microphone Standard Settings

• In the Navigation window, right-click VIPA Device and from the drop-down menu, select Microphone
• On the Microphone Standard Settings tab on the left-hand pane, set the following parameters:

Microphone IP Address	IP Address of Microphone
Audio Group	[MULTICAST LIVE ADDRESS] : [MULTICAST LIVE PORT] : 1 - See Multicast Live address/port below for addressing/port scheme
Control Port	JOUL : [IP ADDRESS OF MIC] : [NETCARD HOSTED IP ADDRESS] : [ALWAYS START AT 17537, UNIQUE FOR EACH MIC]
Priority	Refer to system design specification
PTT All Call	When enabled MPS PTT button will route live audio all Page Button locations when pressed
Permissions	ANS Enabled - If selected, the volume of PTT and DVA announcements from this microphone is subject to ANS (Ambient Noise Sensor) compensation. Allow partial grant - If selected, PTT and DVA announcements will proceed even if not all of the selected zones are available Allow Partial Loss - If selected, overridden PTT and DVA announcements are restored after override is removed. Not normally selected for PTT announcements. Do not apply NVC - If selected, the volume of PTT and DVA announcements are limited by the Night Volume Control (NVC) function of the PAVA System. Emergency class route - If selected, PTT and DVA announcements are of (high) emergency class and will activate the VA indication in the PAVA system.
Chime File	Set the chime file that is played by the VIPA device before each PTT and DVA announcement. • Chime 1 – Plays a single-note chime. • Chime 2 – Plays a two-note descending overlapping chime. • Chime 3 – Plays a three-note descending overlapping chime. • <Blank> – Chime not played by this VIPA device.
Unit ID	Default: 64 Range: 64 to 255 This is the microphone’s unique identifier. Must be unique across all microphones within the same configuration.
JPC	[HOSTNAME OF VIPA DEVICE MIC IS HOSTED ON]
Protocol	Set to ASL Serial
MAC Address	The microphone’s unique network identifier. The MAC address can be found in the microphone IP SETTINGS menu (read only) or on a label on the main board PCB. This setting is required for the automatic configuration of the following microphone settings: • IP SETTINGS – UNIT IP ADDR. • IP SETTINGS – CTRL PORT • IP SETTINGS – UNIT ID • IP SETTINGS – GATEWAY ADDR. • IP SETTINGS – PREFIX SIZE
Multicast control Address	239.1.0.1 (Zenitel Standard) - This is the IP multicast address used for fault monitoring. Set to the same on all microphones hosted by a VIPA device.
Multicast Control Port	[ALWAYS START AT 17360] - This is the IP multicast port used for microphone comms. This setting should not match the Multicast Control Port of any Network Card in the PAVA system. This is to prevent unexpected behaviour in large systems due to high network traffic. All microphones can have the same setting
Multicast Live Address	[239 . SECOND OCTET OF IP . THIRD OCTET OF IP . FOURTH OCTET OF IP] - See: Audio Group - <Live Audio PMC Address> above. This is the IP multicast address used for microphone live audio. Must be unique across all microphones in the system.
Multicast Live Port	[ALWAYS START AT 15001, UNIQUE FOR EACH MIC] - This is the IP multicast port used for microphone live audio. Must be unique across all microphones in the system.
Multicast Live Channel	This is the IP multicast channel used for microphone live audio. Set to 1 for all microphones in the system.
Multicast BGM Address	[239 . SECOND OCTET OF IP . THIRD OCTET OF IP +2 . FOURTH OCTET OF IP] - This is the IP multicast address used for microphone background music (BGM) audio. Must be unique across all microphones in the system.
Multicast BGM Port	[ALWAYS START AT 15201, UNIQUE FOR EACH MIC] - This is the IP multicast port used for microphone background music (BGM) audio. Must be unique across all microphones in the system.
Multicast BGM Channel	This is the IP multicast channel used for microphone background music (BGM) audio (not covered in this document). Set to 1 for all microphones.
Multicast Listen-in Address	[239 . SECOND OCTET OF IP . THIRD OCTET OF IP +3 . FOURTH OCTET OF IP] - This is the IP multicast address used for listen-in. Must match the listen-in configuration on the VIPA device.
Multicast Listen-in Port	[ALWAYS START AT 15301, UNIQUE FOR EACH MIC] - his is the IP multicast port used for listen-in. Must match the listen-in configuration on the VIPA device.
Multicast Listen-in Channel	This is the IP multicast channel used for Listen-in. Set to 1 for all microphones.

Power Supply Settings

The MPS can be powered in two ways:

1. DC Power supply via audio router connections
2. Power over Ethernet

Underneath the microphone, there are three jumper links that will need to be positioned based on the power supply type:

MPS power supply jumper links

* PoE (Power over Ethernet) does not provide EN 54-16 compliance.
