Introduction

DS-1400/1800 Installation Guide Rev 05.12 Page 3 of 15 Essential Trading Systems Corp.
The DS-1400/1800 Media Gateway is a 4/8-port analog to IP device that provides full duplex
audio communication over a customer's existing network (recommended) or the internet in a 1
Rack Unit enclosure. The DS-1400/1800 utilizes Windows application software for secure
network connectivity and ETC’s Viper VoIP software powered by Twisted Pair’s WAVE software
as transport medium.

“E & M” Functionality

DS-1400/1800 Installation Guide Rev 05.12 Page 5 of 15 Essential Trading Systems Corp.
“M” Lead (Tx): Both the VG-1400 and VG-1800 have the “M” Lead option of adjustable time-
delay P Pu us sh h T To o T Tr ra an ns sm mi it t ( (P PT TT T) ) c co on nt ta ac ct t c cl lo os su ur re e. The “M” Lead option becomes critical in
matching transmit delay to equipment key-up time. Each of the four channels has a dedicated
16 position adjusting switch (Figure H). Included on the back of the board is a label (Figure I)
showing the switch adjustment position to time delay correlation (Figure J). The PTT Dry
Contact is a solid state non-polarized Normally Open (NO) relay. Specification maximum values
are 100VDC max. Open; 150mA current and 8Ωmax resistance Closed.
Figure G Figure H Figure I
“E” Lead (Rx): Only the VG-1400 has the option of requiring a switch T To o E En na ab bl le e R Rx x or having
A
Al lw wa ay ys s A Ac ct ti iv ve e R Rx x. . The “E” Lead option becomes critical in LMR situations where background
noise can be interpreted as an analog signal. Thus, having Rx disabled unless the VG-400
receives a viable switch signal avoids noise. Pair 3 is designated as “E” Lead Rx with Pin 3 as
Ground and Pin 6 as logic level +3.3VDC. Pulling or “Pinning Up” Pin 3 to Pin 6 is what enables
Rx to activate. The DS-1400 uses jumper JP1 (Figure J) to globally enable or disable this
feature.
•By positioning JP1 in “E & M” mode, the board
requires a switch signal T To o E En na ab bl le e R Rx x.
•By positioning JP1 in “On” mode, which is the factory
default setting (Figure J), the board does not require a
switch signal and is A Al lw wa ay ys s A Ac ct ti iv ve e R Rx x. .
FigureJ
To access these settings, remove the top cover of the DS-1400/1800.

Hardware Connections
Note: It is recommended that connections, as indicated below, be in place prior to initial power
up.
The basic connections necessary to ensure successful installation are shown in (Figure K). A
local keyboard, mouse & monitor (not provided) connected to the DS-1400/1800 will aid with
configuration and diagnostic activity. The network port should be connected to an appropriate
Ethernet switch for LAN/WAN connectivity. The DS-1400/1800 is factory configured for DHCP
but can be configured with a static IP address upon request.
Figure K
After all external hardware components have been connected as recommended; the DS-
1400/1800 is ready to be powered up. The device has been factory preconfigured to
automatically logon with a preset username & password, typically “administrator & password”
respectively. The username and password can be changed anytime after initial power up to
comply with specific network security measures. After the DS-1400/1800 has completed its boot
up sequence, the Windows settings must be configured.
