DS-4/DS-10 BOTTOM VIEW
This connection carries control data, power and digital audio over CobraNet. PoE-enabled network switches or PoE midspan adapters
must be used to power the DS-10. These must be 802.3af compliant and must be isolated with respect to ground. The maximum distance
between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328 feet (100 meters) when using copper cabling. Additional Ethernet switches and/or fiber-optic
cable can be used to further extend distances between units on a network. Please note that CobraNet limits network extensions to seven
hops (one-way transmissions) within a network.
If other network traffic shares an Ethernet switch with the Vocia network, a managed switch should be used with separate VLANs.
The following diagrams illustrate valid network connections for either the DS-4 or the DS-10.
Personal Identification Number (PIN) Security
Both the DS-4 and DS-10 can be configured for PIN security protection. See the sections below for directions based on a specific model.
DS-4: If PIN security is enabled via the Vocia software, the four Page Code buttons may be used to enter the required four-digit PIN (see
button labeling examples below). To enter a number, the user may need to press a button multiple times (as in SMS messaging). During PIN
entry, the two “Next” and “Previous” soft key buttons on the right side of the display act as a “Clear” and an “Enter” key respectively. Input the
four-digit PIN sequentially, followed by the “Enter” key or the PTT button. Each digit will be shown briefly on the display and subsequently
replaced by an asterisk for security purposes. If the entered PIN is correct, the station will unlock and be ready for use. To lock the wall
station on the initial set up, enter the PIN and push both the “Clear” and “Enter” button simultaneously.
DS-10: If PIN security is enabled via the Vocia software, the ten-digit keypad may be used to enter the required four-digit PIN. During PIN
entry, the two “Next” and “Previous” soft key buttons on the right side of the display act as a “Clear” and an “Enter” key respectively. Input the
four-digit PIN sequentially, followed by the “Enter” key or the PTT button. Each digit will be shown briefly on the display and subsequently
replaced by an asterisk for security purposes. If the entered PIN is correct, the station will unlock and be ready for use.
After a period of inactivity (no pages made and no buttons pressed), both the DS-4 and DS-10 will revert back to a locked state. This length
of time (at a default of 180 seconds) is set using the Vocia software. To lock the station instantly, the user can press and hold down the “Next”
and “Previous” buttons at the same time.
