IP7-FD
Getting Started Guide
Introduction
Digital Acoustics IP7-FD enables Full Duplex IP audio to support
simultaneous speaking in hands free conversation with TalkMaster™
software and/or VoIP Systems supporting industry standard SIP 2.0 (VoIP)
protocols. The “FD” is designed to work in tandem with Digital Acoustics’
“Full Duplex” call stations and enclosures for a compete ‘endpoint’ solution.
Standard features include PoE/External Power, Dual Ethernet ports and
Talk/Relay/Sensor connections.
The FD is configured using the TalkMaster Admin Console software. This
Getting Started booklet covers basic hardware installation and software
configuration of the IP7-FD.
IP7-FD Installation
Important Installation Guidelines
•Use two conductor 18-20 AWG twisted, shielded wire for Microphone
connections. The Microphone wire can not be in the same jacket as the
Speaker wire
•Select 18 AWG for Speaker connections. The TALK, RELAY and Sensor
wire wires may share the same jacket as the Speaker wire
•Avoid sharing AC power with audio in long conduit runs
•Do not install near power distribution equipment or noise generating
equipment such as stepper motors
•Conform to industry standard practices for grounding
IP7-FD Full Duplex - Call Station Installation
The IP7-FD is designed to be used with full duplex call stations supplied by
Digital Acoustics. Contact Technical Support for recommended design
criteria for other call stations.
•Connect MIC+ (J2-1) and MIC- (J2-2) from the IP7-FD to the Microphone
terminals in the call station. The Microphone wire can not be in the
same jacket as the Speaker wire
•Connect GND (J2-4) from the IP7-FD to the shield of the shielded wire on
the Microphone cable. Do not connect the shield at the call station
•Connect SPKR 8Ω+ (J2-6) and SPKR 8Ω-(J2-7) from the IP7-FD to the
terminals of the 8 ohm speaker in the call station (polarity independent)
•Connect TALK (J2-5) from the IP7-FD to one contact on the call station’s
TALK button
•Connect the 2nd contact of the call station’s TALK button to GND (J2-4).
Or connect the 2nd contact of the call station’s TALK button to either of the
speaker terminals in the call station

Relay Options
•The integrated Relay uses COMMON (J3-2), along with NO - Normally
Open (J3-1) or NC - Normally Closed (J3-3). Use Admin Console to
configure the options
Sensor Options
•The integrated Sensor can be used to monitor the status of a door by
connecting Sensor (J3-5) and GND (J3-6) to a contact closure sense
switch. Use Admin Console to configure the options
Power Options
•Power over Ethernet (PoE - 802.3af compliant) - requires 15.4 Watts from
Power Source Equipment (PSE)
•12VDC at 15 watts via J1-1 and J1-2 connectors (polarity independent)
•12VDC at 15 watts via the Aux Power 2.1mm barrel connector
•An external power supply, if detected, overrides PoE power
Network Installation
•Connect an RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet 10/100 connector and a
network switch
•After the Ethernet 10/100 is connected, another IP device can be
connected to Port 2 10/100 jack
Mounting Instructions
The IP7 series is design to be mounted on standard 35mm DIN rail or
surface mounted using the surface mounting plate
•DIN Rail Clip –Tilt top of unit (J1, J2, J3 connectors facing up with Volume
buttons facing forward) back towards the DIN Rail until the IP7 DIN clip
catches the top of the rail. Press in at the bottom of the IP7 to snap into
place
•Surface Mount Plate –Snap the surface mount plate in half and secure it
to the back of the unit using the provided screws so that the mounting
holes extend past the edges of the case

TalkMaster™Software
TalkMaster™ Server Software is a suite of Windows® based application
used to configure and manage Digital Acoustics IP7™ and ii3™ Intercoms
and Paging endpoints. Applications included with the TalkMaster Server are
the Admin Console for configuration of the Server and IP Endpoints and the
Operator Console for managing 2-way Intercom calls and 1-way Paging
announcements.
•Install the TalkMaster Software using the Software Installation CD
•Refer to the previous section to power up and connect the IP7 series
device to the network.
•Record the unique ID# from the bottom label of the IP Endpoint and note
the location where it will be installed
•Start the Admin Console and logon with an
Operator ID of admin and the default password
of admin
•Click the Settings →Endpoint
Defaults tab and make any
changes required for your
installation. For instance, if you
want to assign static IP Addresses,
uncheck the Assign Automatically
with DHCP checkbox
•Click the IP Endpoints tab and press the FIND ALL button in the lower
right hand corner of the screen. Newly discovered IP Endpoints appear in
the list
•Click on the IP Endpoint to be configured (the “Icom ID” column must
match to the Intercom’s previously recorded ID#)
•Click the Defaults button and enter a descriptive
name into the Location Name field
•Make any other desired changes, then select the
Options 1 tab
•Check the Use UDP/RTP option
•Check the Supports Full Duplex option
•Select the Options 2 tab
•Click the SET button to select the
Audio Profile specified for the Call
Station that is connected to the IP7-
FD
Optional configuration settings include:
Options 1 tab
The IP7 has an on board Relay and Sensor.
