2 Introduction
The DBP (Digital Belt Pack) is one of RTS' initial offerings in the wired digital party line
solution space. The DBP provides two modes in which the DBP can operate for up to four
configurable audio conferences. There are two modes DBP can operate, KP (Keypanel) mode
and PL (Party Line) mode. When connected to an intercom in KP mode, any key assignment
that is made to a keypanel can be made on the DBP. When connected to an OMS, the
assignment types are limited to PL, RY (relays), and UR (UPL resources).
When connected to the OMS (OMNEO Main Station), the DBP operates as a digital party line
device. The DBP also connects to any of the RTS matrix products directly via OMNEO. This
includes OMI cards in ADAM (or ADAM -M) frames or OMNEO ports on ODIN frames. When
connected to an RTS OMNEO matrix, the DBP acts as a wired, 4-button keypanel. The DBP
automatically determines the correct mode of operation (digital party line connection to OMS
or keypanel connection to the matrix) at power on.
The DBP recovers power over an 802.3af or 802.3at compliant Ethernet interface. The PoE
(power over Ethernet) In port connects to a PoE compliant power sourcing equipment. The
PoE Out port is available for daisy chain connections to other DBPs.
The DBP comes in a rugged, over-molded enclosure that is IP-53 compliant. It has a full-color
TFT display and an icon-based menu interface, which allows for local configuration of essential
customer preferences.
2.1 Features
– Incorporates both XLR and 3.5 mm TRRS connectors for headsets, and the XLR headsets
are available in 3 different headset XLR options: 4-pin female, 4-pin male, and 5-pin
female. The 5-pin female headset supports stereo audio.
– PoE powered via an 802.3af or 802.3at managed switch or PoE injector. Contains a PoE
In and PoE Out port, which allows up to six DBPs to be daisy-chain connected to the
same PoE (+) switch port.
– DBP connects to an OMNEO main station (Digital Party Line) or an OMNEO capable
matrix (OMI card or ODIN). DBP can support up to four active Party Lines. 40 DBPs can
be connected to OMS (based on model), 64 DBPs can be connected to one OMI card
(based on model, 128 DBPs can be connected to one ODIN, based on model).
– Supports Bluetooth audio connectivity using either an IO Gear GBU522 dongle or an LM
Technologies LM506 dongle.
– Incoming CALL notifications via audible alerts or haptic vibration.

4 Cabling
4.1 To OMS
i
Notice!
PoE is not necessary as long as it is on a network that can reach the DBP.
To cable the DBP to an OMS main station, do the following:
1. Using a CAT-5e cable, attach one end to the PoE IN connector on the DBP.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an approved PoE switch.
3. Using a second CAT-5e cable, connect one end to the approved PoE switch.
4. Connect the other end to the OMNEO connector on the OMS device.
PoE Switch
i
Notice!
If using IPedit to configure the connection between the DBP and the OMS, a third cable is
needed to connect the OMNEO port to the PoE switch.

4.2 To OMI
To cable a DBP to an OMI card, do the following:
1. Using a CAT-5e cable, attach one end to the PoE IN connector on the DBP.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an approved PoE switch.
3. Using a second CAT-5e cable, connect one end to the approved PoE switch.
4. Connect the other end to an Ethernet connector on the OMI card.

4.4 PoE
The Digital Belt Pack includes a PoE In and PoE Out connector that allows multiple DBPs to be
daisy chained from the same switch port. RTS recommends use of an 802.3at compliant PoE
switch for daisy chaining. RTS guidance on the number of DBPs that can be daisy chained
from an 802.3at port are as follows:
– Using CAT-5e cable or better, up to six DBPs can be daisy chained where each daisy chain
span has a length of 100 foot (30 m) or less (total of 600 feet / 180 meters of cable).
– Using CAT-5e cable or better, up to three DBPs can be daisy chained where each daisy
chain span has a length of 328 foot (100 m) or less (total of 984 feet / 300 meters of
cable).

Notice!
It is possible to use PoE injectors on the end of a daisy chain to extend the number of DBPs
and cable lengths supported
Using more than 6 DBPs on the same 802.3at switch port may result in unreliable beltpack
operation.
To daisy chain belt backs together, do the following:
1. Connect one end of a CAT-5e cable from the PoE Out connector on one DBP belt pack.
2. Connect the other end of the CAT-5e cable to the PoE In connector on a second DBP
belt pack.
3. Connect one end of a second CAT-5e cable to the PoE Out connector on the second DBP
belt pack.
4. Connect the other end of the second CAT-5e cable to the PoE In connector on a third
DBP belt pack.
5. Repeat these steps to add additional belt packs to the daisy chain.

5 Install the Bluetooth dongle
It is best to install the dongle when there is no power to the device. If you install the dongle
while the DBP is on, the belt pack recognizes the dongle and reboots to initialize the hardware
properly. If you remove the dongle while the DBP has power, it does not reboot.
i
Notice!
Optimal Bluetooth audio quality is achieved when the DBP is paired with a headset that
incorporates a boom microphone construction versus Bluetooth headsets with embedded
microphones (i.e., ear buds).
To install the Bluetooth dongle, do the following:
1. Open the USB connector door (1).
Take care not to over-extend the door.
2. Insert the dongle (2) in the connector.
Figure5.1: DBP USB dongle installation
3. Close the USB connector door (1).
4. Push the door surface to ensure the door is within the DBP enclosure.
