MS-1 REAR PANEL
Device ID
The rotary ID switches are located on the back of the MS-1 and give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in hexadecimal format.
All MS-1 units must have a unique Device ID to function properly within a Vocia Paging World (i.e., it is not possible to have two MS-1 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.
Network Connection
The MS-1 has four RJ45 Ethernet connectors located on the rear panel (Control, Vocia Network, VoIP, and Spare). Each connector has two
green LEDs, which display Ethernet Link (left LED) and Activity (right LED). Unlike other Vocia devices, the MS-1 does not display the status
of the CobraNet conductor. By default the MS-1 takes on the role of CobraNet conductor (time synch master).
LAN-1 Connector (Control)
This port connects the MS-1 to a control network. This should be separate to the LAN that is being used by the CobraNet port either physically
or through the use of managed switches and VLANs. The MS-1 can be configured in the Vocia software interface via this port, and as such
it should be connected to the same network as the configuration PC during set up. It also supports inter-world paging and communications.
LAN-2 Connector (CobraNet)
This port is used to communicate with local Vocia devices and as such should be connected to the same network as the local Vocia system.
The data from the CobraNet network should be placed on its own LAN, either physically or through the use of managed switches and VLANs.
Vocia makes dynamic use of available bundles in CobraNet. Vocia devices are currently not interoperable with non-Vocia devices.
LAN-3 Connector (VoIP)
The VoIP port is used to host VoIP functionality for the MS-1. All configuration of this port is done via the Vocia software interface.
Connection should be made to the same network as other VoIP infrastructure within the facility.
LAN-4 Connector (Spare)
This port is inactive at this time.
