Configuring Nyquist Gen2
VoIP Speakers
The Nyquist VoIP Ceiling Speaker Gen 2 (NQ-S1810CT-G2) and
Nyquist VoIP Wall Baffle Speaker Gen 2 (NQ-S18110WT-G2) are VoIP
talkback speakers designed to work with the Nyquist Series IP net-
work based intercom and paging solution.
The ceiling talkback speaker assembly consists of an 8" cone speaker
and VoIP module pre-assembled onto a 13" steel ceiling grille
painted with bright white enamel.
The VoIP wall baffle talkback speaker assembly consists of an 8" cone
speaker and VoIP module pre-assembled onto a bright white injec-
tion molded wall baffle speaker enclosure.
Both types of speakers have a Form-C relay for controlling third-party
devices, are 802.3af compliant, and are designed to facilitate rapid
and efficient deployment using existing network Power over Ethernet
(PoE) ports. These VoIP speakers enable the ease of placement wher-
ever needed within a facility.
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 firmware.
You can let the Nyquist server automatically discover and configure
the Nyquist VoIP speakers, or you can manually configure the speak-
ers through their web-based user interface (web UI). The following
sections describe the process for manual configuration. For informa-
tion about using Nyquist’s automatic configuration process, refer to
the appropriate Nyquist System Administrator Manual.

2Updating Firmware
When you select Firmware Update from the appliance’s web UI, the
Firmware Update page appears. From this page you can determine
which Nyquist version the appliance is using and if an update is
required. You can also use this page to restore factory settings and to
reboot the appliance.
To use the Firmware Update page:
Step 1 On the appliance web UI’s main page, select Firmware
Update to ensure you have the latest firmware version.
Step 2 Select Upload Firmware to upload firmware from the
server to the appliance.
If you select this option, a popup screen appears that
Note: A Nyquist appliance connected to the Nyquist network receives a config-
uration file from the Nyquist server that includes the latest firmware available
from the server. If the firmware is later than the one installed on the appliance, an
automatic firmware update occurs unless the Firmware parameter for the sta-
tion is left blank. Refer to the Nyquist System Administrator Manual for more
information.
Figure 3, Firmware Update Page

allows you to select the file that you want to upload.
You can navigate to the file’s location. After you select
the file, select Upload. If Nyquist discovers a new firm-
ware version, the Firmware Update page displays an
Update Firmware button. Select this button if you
want to update the appliance’s firmware to the new
version.
Step 3 If you want to return your appliance to its original state
(undoing firmware updates), select Restore Factory
Settings.
Step 4 Select Reboot Appliance to restart your appliance.
3 Setting Network Tab Parameters
Network settings can be configured dynamically by the Nyquist
server or manually by using the appliance’s web UI.
To manually configure network settings:
Step 1 On the appliance web UI’s main page, select Network
Settings.
Step 2 Select your desired network settings.
Step 3 Select Save.
