Configuring Nyquist Entry Door Phone
The Nyquist Entry Door Phone (NQ-EDP01) is a hands-free, two-way, wall-mounted, VoIP
speaker phone designed to work with the Nyquist Series IP network-based intercom and
paging solution. It is 802.3af-compliant and designed to facilitate rapid and efficient
deployment using existing network Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports.
This device can be used to place a VoIP/SIP call to an Admin Phone with the press of a
button. The device provides half-duplex communication, allowing one party to speak at a
time, switching automatically whenever it detects that the Admin Phone party is speak-
ing.
The Nyquist server can automatically discover and configure the Entry Door Phone, but
you can also manage the device and manually configure some settings through the web-
based user interface (web UI). It can also operate in Standalone mode, allowing it to be
used without a Nyquist server.
A short press of the appliance’s Reset button reboots the device. If you press the Reset
button for 10 seconds, the appliance returns to the factory default configuration settings.
(Returning to the default configuration settings does not change the appliance’s firm-
ware.)
The following sections describe the process for manual configuration. For information
about using Nyquist’s automatic configuration process, refer to the Nyquist System
Administrator Guide.
To access the appliance’s UI:

From this page, you can configure the device’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) features, a
form of processing that uses digital data to simulate characteristics found in analog cir-
cuits. With DSP, you can alter analog signals, such as audio or video signals, that have
been converted to a digital format.
The DSP page allows you to adjust the microphone input gain slider, as well as viewing
level indicators for both the input and output signals. Selecting the DSP Features button
(hamburger menu above the OUT signal indicator) displays a menu that allows you to
access DSP features, as described in the following table.
Tip: You can select Save Settings to Server to back up all configuration settings to the Nyquist server.
Note: The slide control controls the input gain of the microphone, not the output level of
the speaker. To control the output level of the speaker, use the Intercom Cut Level con-
trol for this station on the Nyquist System Controller. If this device is in Standalone mode,
the output level can be controlled using the Intercom Cut Level control on the Configu-
ration Settings page.

Table 8. DSP Features
Intercom Tuning Allows you to specify when the intercom switches between
send and receive modes.

Intercom Tuning
The Entry Door Phone provides half-duplex communications, which means that only one
party can transmit at a time. Which party can transmit (i.e., this Entry Door Phone or the
Admin Phone) is controlled automatically by the Intercom Tuning settings. Whenever a
signal from the Admin Phone exceeds a certain level—known as the switching sensitivity
level—the Entry Door Phone switches to receive mode, allowing the party using the
Admin Phone to speak. When the signal is below that level, it switches back to send
mode, allowing the party using the Entry Door Phone to speak.
Selecting Intercom Tuning from the Menu icon on the DSP page displays the Intercom
Tuning page.
The Intercom Tuning page has LEDs for input and output signals and contains the follow-
ing settings (see Table 9).
Figure 9. Intercom Tuning Settings

Table 9. Intercom Tuning Settings
Switching Sensitivity Specifies the input level above which the Admin Phone
transmits, below which the Entry Door Phone transmits.
The range is -90 to -20 dB.
