If you need to use static (fixed) network settings follow
the steps 1 to 3 otherwise continue at step 4.
TEP 1
Open your web browser.
TEP 2
Enter the IP address that was announced by the
Annuncicom and press Enter. Example: 192.168.0.12
Click the “SETTINGS” button on the left to see the
following page:
TEP 3
Enter the static IP address into the IP address field.
The default is “0.0.0.0” for automatic discovery (DHCP).
If you know the values for the other fields enter them,
otherwise leave them at default (“0.0.0.0”).
Hit the “Apply” button to save all changes. The device
will reboot with the configured IP address.
TEP 4
Download the user manual from www.barix.com and
use it to complete the installation.
For information about our products, manuals, technical
documentation, latest firmware, support and access to
the user forum please visit www.barix.com.
TEP 1
Either use a network cable (c) to link the Annuncicom
(port C or D) to the PC directly, or connect the
Annuncicom to the PC via your network switch.
TEP 2
i) If you are ready to connect to audio equipment: Wire
the corresponding pins of the “Audio + I/O” plug (e)
to a speaker or the Line Out to the input of your
mixing console or monitoring device in order to hear
the announcement in Step 4i) and plug it into the
“Audio + I/O” connector (B).
ii) If you are not yet ready to connect the device in to
your audio equipment, you can still configure the
Annuncicom. Either download the “Barix Discovery
Tool” from www.barix.com for use in Step 4ii) or
continue from section 3 on the last page.
TEP 3
Connect the Power supply (d) to the device’s power
input (E) and then to an appropriate electrical outlet.
TEP 4
i) The Annuncicom will now acquire an IP address and
announce it over the audio outputs (if no DHCP
server is available this can take up to 5 minutes).
ii) If you did not connect audio, launch the “Barix
Discovery Tool” and click the “Get” button to find
out which IP address the device has obtained (see
picture at the bottom of the page). Make sure that the
Ethernet/MAC address matches your device (see label
below the Ethernet connectors (C, D) on the rear
plate of the device).
Now that you know the IP address proceed to section
“2 Network configuration by web browser”.
If you were not able to obtain the device’s current
IP address with the previous steps see section
“4 Troubleshooting”.
1 Installation 2 Network configuration
by web browser

This procedure will work only in a local network. After
this procedure the temporary IP will be active only until
restart/reboot. After a restart the procedure has to be
repeated.
TEP 1
Either use a network cable to link the Annuncicom and
the PC directly, or connect the Annuncicom to the PC
via your network switch and power the device. Make
sure that you have a valid static IP address configured on
your PC (e.g. 192.168.0.2)
TEP 2
Windows : For a command window. click on “Start”, click
on “Run..”, in the “Open” field type cmd , click on “OK”.
OSX / Linux : Open a terminal window.
TEP 3
Please proceed to step 4 if you linked the PC directly to
the device in step 1.
To ensure that you use a free IP address (not already
used by another device in the network) please use the
Ping command. To verify availability in this example we
assume the PC to have the IP address “192.168.0.2” and
want to check if “192.168.0.6” is free.
Type ping 192.168.0.6 and hit the “Enter” key.
You should get no reply which gives you reasonable
assertion that the “pinged” IP is available.
TEP 4
Look for the Annuncicom’s MAC address printed on a
label placed below the Ethernet ports (12 hex digits,
separated by a hyphen every 2 digits).
Type into the windows command window
arp -s 192.168.0.6 00-08-E1-00-B1-77
or on a OSX or Linux system type into the terminal
arp -s 192.168.0.6 00:08:E1:00:B1:77
and hit the “Enter” key (replace the digits according to
your devices MAC address). You must have administra-
tive rights to be able to do so (sudo on OSX / Linux).
TEP 5
Now we have to make the Annuncicom listen to the IP
address “192.168.0.6” using the Telnet command.
To do so type into the command window
telnet 192.168.0.6 1 and hit the “Enter” key
(the number “one” must be there for this command to
work correctly !!!). The Annuncicom will immediately
refuse the connection on port 1, but will be available for
browser access as long as the device stays powered.
TEP 6
To check if the Annuncicom is responding you can use
the ping command again. To do so type
ping 192.168.0.6 and hit the “Enter” key.
If you do get a reply the IP address 192.168.0.6 can be
used to access the Annuncicom using a web browser.
Please go back to section “2 Network configuration by
web browser” to configure a static IP address.
If you do get “request timed out” then please repeat
step 5 carefully (you most likely mistyped the telnet com-
mand) or repeat the entire procedure.
If the ARP method does not work for you, refer to the
user manual for further methods.
4 Troubleshooting
• If the status LEDs (F) stay dark check the power
cabling (installation step 3).
• Check if the green LINK LED (G or H) is lit, if it is not
then check your cabling (network port C or D).
Note: Acquiring an IP address can take up to 5 minutes.
