Biamp ELD-1 - Manual (Page 5)

Setup and Use
The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for configuration, DSP equalization, and programming of the ELD-1. The information supplied
by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Help File.
Device ID
In contrast to most other devices in the Vocia product range, the ELD-1 does not require setting a Device ID.
Network Connection
Connect the device to a PoE-compliant network and at the end of the speaker line.
An 802.3af compliant PoE-enabled network switch or PoE midspan adapter must be used to power the ELD-1. The maximum distance be-
tween 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.
ELD-1 devices are designed to be placed on the Vocia CobraNet 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 the ELD-1.
