Configuring the Nyquist VoIP Speakers
The Nyquist VoIP Ceiling Speaker Gen 2 (NQ-S1810CT-G2) and Nyquist VoIP Wall Baffle
Speaker Gen 2 (NQ-S1811WT-G2) are VoIP talkback speakers designed to work with the
Nyquist Series IP network-based intercom and paging solution.
The ceiling talkback speaker assembly consists of an 8" cone speaker and VoIP module
preassembled 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 preassembled onto a bright white injection-molded wall baffle speaker enclo-
sure.
Both types of speakers are 802.3af-compliant and are designed to facilitate rapid and effi-
cient deployment using existing network Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. They also have
a Form-C relay for controlling third-party devices. These VoIP speakers enable ease of
placement wherever 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 firm-
ware.)
The Nyquist server can automatically discover and configure the Nyquist VoIP speakers,
but you can also manage the device and manually configure some settings through the
web-based user interface (web UI). 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:

The following buttons are available at the top of all pages in the application.
Table 1. Appliance Dashboard Fields
Device Type Identifies the model of this device.
Serial Number Identifies the serial number for the device.
MAC Address Identifies the Media Access Control (MAC) address,
which is a unique identifier assigned to network inter-
faces for communications on the physical network seg-
ment.
Firmware Version Identifies the firmware version installed on the station.
Standalone Operation Enables or disables Standalone mode.
Volume Cut Level (dB) Specifies a temporary volume setting for the speaker
during the current intercom call or page.
Note: This is a temporary adjustment that allows the user
to experiment with the loudness of the speaker and will
be reset to the normal setting on subsequent calls. To
make permanent adjustments, change the station-spe-
cific cut level settings on the Nyquist System Controller.
The value can be adjusted between -42 and 0 dB.

Updating 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 firmware version the
appliance is using and if an update is available. You can also load a firmware release,
install the loaded firmware, restore the configuration to factory defaults, and reboot the
appliance.
To use the Firmware Update page:
Help Accesses the appliance’s online help.
Manual Displays the appliance’s configuration manual.
Logout Logs out of the appliance’s dashboard.
Note: A Nyquist appliance connected to the Nyquist network receives a configuration
file from the Nyquist server that includes the latest firmware available from the server.
If the firmware is different from the one installed on the appliance, an automatic firm-
ware update occurs unless the Firmware parameter for the station is left blank. Refer to
the Nyquist System Administrator Guide for more information.

1On the appliance web UI’s main page, select Firmware Update to view or update the
firmware version.
2If the device is in Standalone mode, selecting the Check for Updates button checks
the Bogen website for the latest firmware version available. If a version newer than
the one currently installed is found, it is downloaded to the appliance.
3If you already have a firmware file you would like to install to the appliance, select
Upload Firmware to upload the firmware file from your computer to the appliance. A
popup screen appears that 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.
4The page displays the uploaded firmware version (“New Nyquist Version”) and an
Update Firmware button appears. Select this button if you want to update the appli-
ance’s firmware to the uploaded version.
5If you want to return your appliance to its original factory configuration, select
Restore Factory Settings.
6Select Reboot Appliance to restart your appliance.

Network settings are described in the following table:
Figure 4. Network Settings
Table 4. Network Settings
IP Address Identifies the IP address assigned to the appliance.
Netmask Identifies the subnetwork subdivision of an IP net-
work.
Gateway Identifies the address, or route, for the default gate-
way.
VLAN ID Identifies the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) for
this appliance. Values range from 0 to 4094.
VLAN Priority Identifies the priority of the network traffic on the
VLAN. Priority can range from 0 through 7.

8
NTP Server Identifies the IP address or the domain name of the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server.
Note: This field is only editable when Standalone
Operation is enabled.
TFTP Server Identifies the host name or IP address of the Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server.
The specified TFTP server can be used to automati-
cally set this device’s Configuration settings via the
Get Configuration from Server button.
If TFTP Server from DHCP (see below) is set to “Yes”,
this value will be auto-configured via DHCP option
66, assuming the DHCP server has been configured
to provide option 66. For details, see the documenta-
tion for your DHCP server.
Note: A TFTP server runs on the Nyquist server on
port 69 (the standard TFTP port) and the optional
Nyquist DHCP service automatically provides this
TFTP address via option 66.
Note: If this value is unspecified, the TFTP Server
from DHCP will automatically be set to “Yes”, this
field will become read-only, and DHCP will be used to
configure this setting. To change this value, the TFTP
Server from DHCP setting must be set to No, which
makes the field editable.
Note: This setting is not available when Standalone
Operation is enabled.
TFTP Server from DHCP “Yes” means the device will use the DHCP option 66
value to retrieve an address for the TFTP Server from
DHCP.
“No” means the device will ignore the DHCP option
66 value and use the manually configured value of
the TFTP Server (see above).
Note: This setting is not available when Standalone
Operation is enabled.
