3) PAIR UP/REGISTER THE SYSTEM
3-1) Pair up BP with BS
Before initially using, all BPs to be in use should be registered to an applicable BS with required
information. Once the pairing is done, BPs will automatically be linked to all RBSs in each area, of which
are registered to the applicable BS as well.
Connect the antennas enclosed firmly to the BS and turn the power on.
From the initial screen of the BS, press SET button then it will lead you to the menu screen as shown
from the figure 3 below. Move to BELTPACK menu and press SET button on it.
[Figure 2] NORMAL menu (Initial display of BS) [Figure 3] MAIN menu (Menu selection)
Set the maximum number of BP on the first row in the BELTPACK menu display by using UP and DOWN
direction key as shown from the figure 4 below. If 40 BPs to be registered, input ‘040’. Any BP exceed
this number set initially in this screen will not be registered. Move into LABEL/GROUP/PAIR menu then
the display as shown from the figure 5 will appear and you will see the maximum number of BP you
have just set from the first row.

Turn on the BP near the BS antenna. For all BPs which are not registered yet will go on red LED blinking.
Go back to the BS screen. Press SET on the icon then it will try to start pairing with the BP by changing
the icon to .
On BP, confirm if the OLED screen is on and NORMAL menu is displayed. While pressing and holding the
PWR button, quickly press the SET button and release both after confirming the message ‘Pairing….’on
the BP screen. ‘Pairing completed’message will be shown shortly if properly done. The pairing status
indication icon on the BS screen will be changed to and the BP ID you have input for the applicable
BP will be displayed on the BP screen. If the pairing is failed, ‘Pairing failed’will be shown on the BP
screen and the icon will be indicated on the BS screen. If failed, try again in the correct order and
timing.
In the same way above, execute the pairing for all BPs one by one on each row. Going down on the
screen with direction key will show you the next rows.
NOTE
For the 33rd BP to the 128th BP registered to a BS will be automatically in shared and grouped
in #5 with hands free off/PTT mode.
Do not press the BP PWR button longer than 2 seconds that will make the power turned off.
The BS screen will be in a sleep mode if no touch is made for a while. Touch any button on the
BS will make the screen waken up.
The BP screen will be in a sleep mode if no pressing is made for a while. Pressing any button on
the BP will make the screen waken up. When set up the pairing, the BP screen should be on.
On BS screen, press SET in 2 seconds on any menu will take you to the initial NORMAL menu.
3-2) Pair up RBS with BS
Before initially using, BS and RBS or RBSs should be paired up. The pairing set up can be done for one(1)
RBS at once. Therefore, connect the LAN cable with the applicable one(1) RBS only and disconnect all
other cables for the rest of RBSs. For this pairing, prepare a short LAN cable to connect between BS
and the applicable RBS will be enough.
Connect the LAN cable between BS and the applicable RBS by using LAN port. If you have 19”cascade
kit, there are 3 LAN(PoE) ports on the rear panel of the kit and you may wish to use any of them. For
the power supply to the RBS, PoE Hub or batteries can be used.
Once the power is supplied and LAN cable is connected to the BS and RBS properly, from the initial
screen of the BS, press SET button on the BS then it will lead you to the menu screen as shown from the
figure 7 below. Move to RBS menu and press SET button on it then the RBS menu will be displayed as
shown from below figure 8.

Implement the RBS pairing from the number ‘1’ on the display in order. Move onto ‘1’ with direction
key and press SET then the pairing will start by changing the pairing icon indication from to . If
the pairing is successfully completed, the icon will be changed to and the LINK indication on the
bottom line of the display will be changed from ‘X’ to ‘O’. You may observe the change of LINK
indication after getting out from the current display with QUIT button and return to the display again.
When failed, the pairing icon will be returned to the initial indication. If failed, confirm the power
supply, LAN cable and LINK LED status on both BS and RBS then try again.
LED status lights on the front panel of the BS and RBS
‘RF ALERT light’
When there are audio breakups seriously, RF ALERT light will go on.
‘BS LINK light / RBS LINK light’
When the BS and RBS are connected, BS LINK/RBS LINK light will go on.
‘BS ACTIVE light / RBS ACTIVE light’
When the BS/RBS exchanges data, BS ACTIVE/RBS ACTIVE light will be flashing.
Disconnect the LAN cable for the first RBS(R1) if the pairing is properly done, then, connect the next
RBS for pairing. Again, for the pairing, RBS should be connected one by one exclusively and have to be
located in order from #1, the nearest area from the BS, to #5, the farthest area from the BS.
Implement the pairing one by one for each RBS with the same process above.
If you want to test the RBS coverage at this stage, while all the RBSs are placed at each area with
cabling, reboot the BS with the power toggle switch while the RBS is TURNED ON, then wait for one(1)
minute for the RF scan of BS and then 20 seconds for each RBS until the system is fully activated.
With above pairing setup and system reboot, each BP within the RBS coverage will be linked to the
respective RBS and the wireless intercom communication will be activated. You may wish to test the
BP communications and RBS coverage. As shown from the figure 9 below, BP users will be able to
confirm to which device the BP is linked from the first row of the BP display as well as the signal
strength, battery status, group number selected, BP ID and etc. If the BP is linked to BS within the BS
coverage, the display indicates ‘BS’and if ‘RBS’, ‘R1’‘R2’‘R3’… ‘R5’.
‘Device linked’‘Group #
[Figure 9] NORMAL menu (Initial display of BP)
And, when there are data exchanges by communications, the ‘RBS ACTIVE’ LED light of the BS and ‘BS
ACTIVE’LED light of the RBS will go on.
NOTE
During the BS and RBS pairing process, communication will be inactivated.
When users changed any settings by accident, there could possibly a disconnection of the
pairing between the BS and RBS unintentionally. If you have any issue on communication,
firstly check out the power supply with PoE Hub, specification of the LAN cable in use, LAN
cable connection status and then RF LINK and ALERT light indications. And implement the
pairing setup again to retrieve.

4) LOCATE the BS and RBS/RBSs
Before you fix out the BS and RBSs’locations, consider the best spots for each of them at the
installation site. If BS and RBS will be located on each individual floor level, or where there is a concrete
wall between the spaces and totally isolated not allowing any gap, you may not needed to consider the
overlapping area between the BS and RBS. If the BS and RBS will be co-located in one open space where
there is no obstruction, or located closer though there are obstructions, you may wish to test and check
out the coverage and overlapping area in each BS and RBS area and install them at the best locations as
higher as possible not allowing wide overlapping area.
Please note that the RF signal range can be various and alternative depending on the site environment
such as the location of obstructions, materials of the walls, doors, windows and ceiling, and the system
installation height and location, and other equipments used in the site and etc. Please note that the
typical distance of LaON intercom is approximately 100m-140m for both of BS and each RBS in LOS
(line of sight) environment however it could be increased due to reflection or decreased due to
obstructions as well.
Therefore, test and checking out each of coverage by BS and RBSs and select the best location is very im
portant for the efficient cabling and the best-in-class wireless communications performance.
[Figure 10] Mapping coverage zones
Draw the coverage map and deploy the BS and RBS in order from the RBS1(R1) in the nearest area from
the BS, and RBS2(R2) in the next nearest area from the BS……and RBS5(R5) in the farthest area from the
BS as shown from the figure 10.
5) CABLING and CONNECTION BETWEEN BS and RBSs
For multiple RBSs connections, it is necessary to connect through PoE(Power of Ethernet) Hub. For sole
RBS connection, either direct connection or connection via PoE Hub should work. However, it is still
strongly recommended to use a PoE Hub if you prefer a convenient power supply to RBSs during the
critical live operations.
Connect the BS and RBSs through LAN cable. The LAN port can be found from the rear panel of the BS or
19” cascade kit and bottom of the RBS.
