DS-4/DS-10 BOTTOM VIEW
Device ID
The rotary ID switches are located on the bottom of the DS-4 and DS-10 and give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in
hexadecimal format. All desk station units must have a unique Device ID to function within a Vocia Paging World (i.e., it is not possible
to have two desk station units with the same Device ID of hex 07). To assign a Device ID of hex 07, turn the LSB switch to 7 and leave the
MSB switch on 0. To create an ID of hex B7, turn the LSB switch to 7 and turn the MSB switch to B. Device ID switches should be set
using a 0.1 inch (2.5mm) to 0.12 inch (3.0mm) flat blade screwdriver. More information on setting IDs and the hexadecimal numbering
scheme used in Vocia can be found in the Vocia Help File.
Please note: Changes made to the Device ID while connected to the network require a power cycle in order to take effect.
CobraNet
Both the DS-4 and DS-10 are CobraNet devices. All CobraNet routing and bundle assignments are processed by the Vocia devices locally.
Vocia devices are not interoperable with non-Vocia devices.
Network Connection
The DS-4 and DS-10 have two RJ45 connectors located on the bottom of the unit that are labeled (1) Audio Network and (2) Option. The
Audio Network connector should be wired to shielded CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7 cable cabling to interface the DS-4 or DS-10 to
a Vocia system via a PoE-compliant network switch. The Option connector is currently not used. The RJ45 connector provides two LEDs
that indicate Ethernet link and network activity (see table below).
