POTS-1 Product Description

The Vocia Telephone Paging adapter allows a direct connection of two or four analog telephone service

(POTS) lines or POTS-based PBX telephone lines. The interface permits live, real-time paging using any

page code within the Vocia system. POTS-1 supports Vocia regular and emergency messaging, and will

also support page stacking and store-and-forward functionality.

POTS-1 – Телефонный интерфейс Vocia POTS-1 предназначен для прямого подключения двух или

четырех аналоговых телефонных линий (POTS) или телефонных линий PBX (мини-АТС).

Интерфейс позволяет в реальном времени выполнять отправку голосовых сообщений в систему

Vocia. POTS-1 поддерживает функции стандартного и экстренного оповещения, а также

проигрывания сообщений после освобождения зоны.

POTS-1 Setup and Installation

Setup and Use

The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for configuration, DSP equalization, and programming

of the POTS-1. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment.

For more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Help File.

Installation

The unit requires one 1.75 inch (44.45 mm) high and 19 inch wide rack space with 9 inch (228 mm)

depth. Mounting the unit using four screws with washers will prevent marring of the front panel. PVC or

nylon washers are appropriate.

Install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in rooms with adequate

ventilation. Ensure that air can circulate freely behind, beside, and above the unit. Do not exceed the

maximum ambient operating temperature of 32° - 108° F (0° - 42°C). Be aware of conditions in an

enclosed rack that may cause the temperature to exceed ambient room conditions.

Power (Chassis Indicator)

The POTS-1 has two power indicators. If power is applied to one or both 24V DC power connectors, the

corresponding LED will be on.

 Off – The power connection is not available or not within the voltage range.

 Solid green – The unit is receiving power.

Fault (Chassis Indicator)

There are two types of chassis Faults that will be reported depending on the severity of the problem.

Audio may still be passing, but if the condition causing the warning is not corrected, a failure may occur.

 Flashing amber – A warning has occurred, meaning some aspect of the unit is not performing

within normal specification.

 Solid amber – A Fault has occurred, meaning some aspect of the unit has failed and audio may not

be passing.

Activity (Chassis Indicator)

The POTS-1 has an activity LED that will illuminate to show the configuration status of the unit.

 Off – The unit is not configured.

 Solid green – The unit is configured.

Status (Chassis Indicator)

The POTS-1 has a tri-color Status LED that indicates the health of the hardware.

 Solid green – The unit is powered up and working normally.

 Flashing amber – Shown during the power-up self-test.

 Solid red – The unit experienced a problem during the power-up self-test.

Line Status

 Solid green – Indicates no line fault - loop current and voltage is normal.

 Solid amber – Indicates over-voltage and/or under-current line faults.

Hook Status

 Off – Line is not in use (on hook).

 Solid green – Line is in use (off hook).

Note: The third and fourth 'Line Status' LEDs and Hook Status' LEDs will remain extinguished at all times

on the POTS-1-2 model.

POTS-1 Rear

Power

The POTS-1 requires an external single 24V DC power source to operate, but is capable of accepting

dual 24V DC inputs for redundancy. Both power sources may be connected concurrently, however each

must be capable of supporting the full 30 watt load of the unit (inputs are not intended to load-share).

Loss or return of either power source will not result in an interruption to normal operation as long as one

of these power sources remains functional. Monitoring of power sources is selectable via the Vocia

Software.

Function

DC Power 1 24V(+)

DC Power 1 24V(-)

DC Power 2 24V(+)

DC Power 2 24V(-)

The power connector is a four-way 5.08mm standard header with mating pluggable screw terminal block

with cable restraint. When power is present at either or both 24V power inputs the corresponding front

panel green power LED will illuminate.

CAUTION

Due to potential energy hazard, connections to the Auxiliary Power DC inputs must be made by a qualified electrician or other

qualified person as required to conform with all local codes.

Device ID

The rotary ID switches give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in hexadecimal format. All units

of the same device type must have a unique Device ID to function properly within a Vocia Paging World.

The Factory Default Device ID is 01. A Device ID of 00 is invalid and cannot be used.

To assign a Device ID of hex 07, leave the MSB switch on 0 and turn the LSB switch to 7. Device ID

switches should be set using a 0.1 inch (2.5mm) to 0.12 inch (3.0mm) flat blade screwdriver.

NOTE

Changes made to the Device ID while connected to the network require a power cycle of the device in order to take effect.

Network Connections

All CobraNet routing and bundle assignments are processed by the Vocia devices locally. Vocia makes

dynamic use of available bundles in CobraNet. A 100Base-T Ethernet switch (not repeater hub) is

required when networking multiple units. CobraNet utilizes standard CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7

cabling, which has a specified maximum length of 328 feet (100 meters). Additional Ethernet switches, or

switches which provide fiber-optic interface, can be used to extend the physical distance between units

within a network. Please note that CobraNet limits network extensions to seven hops (one-way

transmissions) within a network. The CobraNet network connection is configured with the primary

connector on the left and the secondary (redundant) connector on the right. The primary and secondary

CobraNet ports are provided to facilitate connection redundancy. Each connector provides two LEDs that

indicate Ethernet link and network activity.

FCC Notice

FCC Part 15 –

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The following applies to products with a telephone interface:

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On

the rear of this equipment is information that contains a product identifier in the format

US:6RMEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

This equipment is designed for modular connection with Jack Universal Service Order Codes RJ-14C,

RJ-14W.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must

comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. CAUTION: To

reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL Listed or CSA Certified

Telecommunication Line Cord.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be

connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing

in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).

To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,

contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this

product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:6RMEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented

by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is

separately shown on the label.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in

advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical,

the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your

right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that

could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance

notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

This equipment is not user serviceable. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or

warranty information, please contact Biamp Systems Corporation, phone number 503.641.7287. If the

equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you

disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,

public service commission or corporation commission for information.

If your facility has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation

of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable

alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

replacement of any product or part thereof will extend the applicable warranty period for the entire product. The specific warranty for any

repair will extend for a period of 90 days following the repair or the remainder of the warranty period for the product, whichever is longer.

8. No agent, employee, distributor or dealer of Biamp Systems is authorized to modify this warranty or to make additional warranties on behalf

of Biamp Systems. Statements, representations or warranties made by any dealer do not constitute warranties by Biamp Systems. Biamp

Systems shall not be responsible or liable for any statement, representation or warranty made by any dealer or other person. Biamp Systems

makes no other warranty beyond what is contained in this writing.

9. No action for breach of this warranty may be commenced more than one year after the expiration of this warranty.

10. BIAMP SYSTEMS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR

LOSS OF USE ARISING OUT OF THE PURCHASE, SALE, OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS, EVEN IF BIAMP SYSTEMS WAS ADVISED OF THE

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
