Streaming RTP from PC to Barix Devices

2013-06-13T07:08:53Z

StefanG:

Quite often there is a need to stream from a PC to Barix devices. The most convenient and most standard way is to use RTP.

Barix offers several tools for streaming RTP.

= MP3 RTP Streamer =
MP3 RTP Streamer is an interactive Java tool, that can run on Windows, Linux or MAC. You can download it from Barix Website:
[http://www.barix.com/index.php?id=174]
Read the User Manual for further instructions to use.

=VLC Media Player=

As alternate option the VLC Media player can be used. The VLC Media Player is freeware from the internet and allows to stream audio files, playlists and the PC audio inputs (e.g. line & microphone)
over network to other targets, e.g. to the Barix Exstreamer.

Please check the Barix VLC Media Player - Howto [http://www.barix.com/downloads/] for more details.

In-Store Music Applications

2013-06-12T10:49:29Z

StefanG:

Barix offers delivery of high quality in-store audio in three ways:

• '''Live Streaming:''' deliver high-quality branded audio in real-time via the Internet to all retail locations, including the option for localized and targeted ad insertion. This can be achieved using Barix Instreamers devices as sources and then distributing via "ShoutCast" servers, "Ad Insertion" servers, or Barix RTP-Replicator devices. At the receiving end Exstreamer devices will provide the audio output.

• '''Periodic File Download:''' store audio locally at each retail location, updating the music via FTP or HTTP download and then playing back according to a schedule as desired. See [[FTP MP3 Player]]

• '''Offline:''' store the audio locally at each location, and update it manually as desired.

In-store music from Barix [http://www.barix.com/Retail/981/] enables Retailers of all sizes to easily build their brand and sales figures, whilst providing customers with a pleasant environment.

Bit Rate Calculation

2013-06-07T11:55:12Z

StefanG:

<big>'''BIT RATE CALCULATION WITH BARIX DEVICES'''</big>

With this document we want to explain how to calculate the total bit rate flowing on an Ethernet cable connected to a Barix device.

The total bit rate is equal at the audio bit rate plus the overhead due to the encapsulation of audio packet inside the layers of OSI stack [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osi_model].

We have used for the test an Instreamer 100 (with standard firmware) configured first in RAW UDP and then in RTP, and an Exstreamer 1000 (with STL firmware).

'''RAW UDP STREAMING MODE'''

For the structure of the Ethernet packet see here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet]

The Total Ethernet Overhead per packet is 300 bit.

For the structure of the IP packet see here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv4]

The Total IP Overhead per packet is 160 bit.

For the structure of the UDP packet see here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDP_packet]

The Total UDP Overhead per packet is 64 bit.

'''Total Bit of Overhead per Packet =''' '''Ethernet Overhead + IP Overhead + UDP Overhead = 524 bit'''

The Audio Bit rate is expressed in bit/sec but the Overhead is expressed in bit/packet.
So we have to translate the Overhead (bit/packet) in Overhead rate (bit/sec).
For this we need to know the amount of packet/sec, that depends by Audio Format and is measurable with Network Protocol Analyzer software like Wireshark.

The values of Audio Data for audio format, sampling frequency and quality (MP3 bitrate average), come from Instreamer Manual (firmware V3.10 – page 18 - [http://www.barix.com/downloads/Instreamer_Standard_Firmware/1981/])

For MPEG1/2 Layer3 (MP3) bit rate

the following Encoding range is supported as Constant & Variable Bit Rate in IPAM102 based devices (e.g. new Instreamer):

28kbps (MPEG2@16KHz mono) - 320kbps (MPEG1@48KHz stereo) 

the following Encoding range is supported as Variable Bit Rate in IPAM100 based devices (e.g. old Instreamer100):

28kbps (MPEG2@16KHz mono) - 192kbps (MPEG1@48KHz stereo) 

Decoding range on both IPAM100 and IPAM300 as Constant or Variable Bit Rate is:

8kbps (MPEG2) - 320kbps (MPEG1)

'''Overhead/sec = Overhead/Packet x Packet/sec'''

'''Total Bit Rate (Kbit/sec) = Audio Data Rate (Kbit/sec) + Overhead/sec (Kbit/sec)'''

''(1 Kbit = 1000 bit)''

'''RTP STREAMING MODE'''

For the structure of the RTP packet see here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_Transport_Protocol]

The Total RTP Overhead per packet is 128 bit (counting also the MP3 MPA wrapper inside the RTP payload, which has an extra 32 bit header).

'''Total Bit of Overhead per Packet ='''

'''Ethernet Overhead + IP Overhead + UDP Overhead + RTP Overhead = 652 bit'''

The values of Audio Data for audio format, are the same of above, since the transmission protocol doesn't affect audio bit rate.

'''Overhead/sec = Overhead/Packet x Packet/sec'''

'''Total Bit Rate (Kbit/sec) = Audio Data Rate (Kbit/sec) + Overhead/sec (Kbit/sec)'''

''(1 Kbit = 1000 bit)''

Customization of Barix Firmwares

2013-05-15T09:18:38Z

StefanG:

There are two different firmware types for Barix devices avaiable: 
- '''Standard firmwares''', like the Instreamer standard firmware, Annuncicom standard firmware, the Exstreamer standard firmware or the Streaming Client firmware. 
These firmwares you can modify in the design you can change the files on the web server, change e.g. logos or remove/rename setup features. The sources of the files are contained in the firmware
package itself (in sub folder "webuidevkit").But you cannot change the functionality of the firmware itself on these firmwares, please contact Barix directly for such changes. 

- '''ABCL firmwares''', like ABCL SIP firmware, ABCL STL firmware or ABCL FTP-MP3 firmware, .... 
On these firmware packages you can change/add/remove the design and the functionality.
The ABCL firmwares contain an interpreter for overlaying applications only and the overlaying applications can be added, modified or removed for you as you want.
All ABCL firmware packages have overlaying ABCL applications contained, mostly is the source code included - so that it can be modified from everybody.
ABCL means '''A'''udio '''B'''arix '''C'''ontrol '''L'''anguage , that´s a simple BASIC-like programming language which allows to access almost all interfaces of the Barix audio devices.
The ABCL applications will be stored in the device´s webserver and can be embedded in the ABCL firmware package.

The Barix Barionet knows only one firmware type, but this contains also an interpreter for BCL applications. BCL and ABCL is the same, but without the Audio functionality in BCL.

ABCL applications and the ABCL programming manual you can find on the Barix website. 
Some more demos you can find on: http://bcl-applications.info/

More detailed information to "Customization" you can find on : [[Default Configuration Customization]]

Reflector

2013-05-13T09:18:52Z

StefanG: /* How does it work? */

'''Reflector Service'''
The Barix Reflector service is a simple way to set up STL, Remote Contribution and Syndication applications, without requiring the user to understand anything about IP, firewalls etc.

== '''How do I get the Reflector up and running?''' ==

[[Image:Reflector_set_up_steps.png|400px|thumb|centre]]

== How does it work? ==

[[Image:Reflector_P2_system_diagram.png|400px|thumb|centre]]

The main components of the Reflector are shown in the diagram:
'''Database'''
stores all data about accounts, projects and devices

'''Configuration server''' – assigns project devices to individual Reflector Servers and communicates configuration details to devices

'''Reflector server(s)''' – receive details of devices from the config server and handle communications with them; receiving the network audio stream from the Encoder and forwarding it to the Decoder(s)

'''Web server''' – handles the User Interface, allowing users to set up and maintain their projects, updating the database accordingly.

'''Encoder/Decoders'''. On startup, each Reflector Client device will contact the Reflector Services defined to it in its startup configuration (US / EU ...), requesting the details of its project configuration, it then contacts the appropriate Configuration Server, applies its configuration and operates accordingly.

More about specific components of the Service:
*[[config server]]
*[[reflector server]]

You can find out more about the service here: [http://www.barix.com/solutions/broadcast/reflector/]

There are two different firmware types for Barix devices avaiable:
- Standard firmwares, like the Instreamer standard firmware, Annuncicom standard firmware, the Exstreamer standard firmware or the Streaming Client firmware.
These firmwares you can modify in the design you can change the files on the web server, change e.g. logos or remove/rename setup features. The sources of the files are contained in the firmware
package itself (in sub folder "webuidevkit"). 
But you cannot change the functionality of the firmware itself on these firmwares, please contact Barix directly for such changes.

- ABCL firmwares, like ABCL SIP firmware, ABCL STL firmware or ABCL FTP-MP3 firmware, ....
On these firmware packages you can change/add/remove the design and the functionality.
The ABCL firmwares contain a interpreter for overlaying applications only and the overlaying applications can be added, modified or removed for you as you want.
All ABCL firmware packages have overlaying ABCL applications contained, mostly inclusive the source code - so that they can be modified from everybody.
ABCL means '''A'''udio '''B'''arix '''C'''ontrol '''L'''anguage , that´s a simple BASIC-like programming language which allows to access almost all interfaces of the Barix audio devices.
The ABCL applications will be stored in the device´s webserver and can be embedded in the ABCL firmware package.

The Barix Barionet knows only one firmware type, but this contains also an interpreter for BCL applications. BCL and ABCL is the same, but without the Audio functionality in BCL.

ABCL applications and demos you can find on the Barix website.
Some more you can find on: http://bcl-applications.info/

IP based Intercom technology

With new IP based Intercom technology a company is able to save on costs since it is no longer necessary to wire up the entire building with paired wiring. With new IP based Intercom technology it is now possible to intercommunicate globally from continent to continent!

Just a few years ago, if a company wanted to install an Intercom system, it was required to run wires between all the Intercom call boxes demanding an intensive installation. In this day and age it is no longer necessary to run any more wires ever again thanks to new improved Intercom technology. At Barix AG in Zurich Switzerland, new technology has been developed to overcome structured wiring. This new technology is IP based Intercom meaning Intercom over IP network which transports the communication over computer networks and even over the Internet. The newest product from Barix to offer this technology is called the Annuncicom. The Annuncicom is not only an IP Intercom, it also contains a built-in relay switch so it can also be used as a door station. With this relay switch it is possible to remotely open a locked door or gate if the relay is connected to an electronic door lock.
In the meantime the Annuncicom IC was replaced by the successor [[Annuncicom 100]]. The IP based Intercom technology is basically an Intercom system that utilizes computer network technology to transport the communication over local networks or the Internet.

With IP based Intercom technology it is also possible to communicate internationally which has never been done before with structured wiring. Since the IP based Intercom is able to use the Internet to transport the communication, it is possible to set up an Intercom system from China to Switzerland. This new technology is revolutionary bringing countless new applications which have never been possible before. It is now possible for any company with International branches to communicate to each other without having to use their computers or telephones. A manager in New York could press the button of his IP Intercom on his desk and automatically be routed to the LA branch and instantly speak to his or her employees. A worker servicing a utility box could press the button of the IP Intercom in the Utility box and automatically be routed to headquarters and receive remote assistance. If someone has an accident in a tunnel, he or she can activate an emergency response with this IP Intercom technology. Just about all places are wired with network cable which makes it easy for the Annuncicom 100 to tap in anywhere.

Companies can save costs on man power since this technology can replace man power. If someone needs assistance in a garage because the ticket machine is out of order, one could press the button of the IP Intercom and be routed to a live call center for assistance.

Barix is the first company in the world to offer IP Intercom technology that is not dependent on any computer running on the network. For OEMs, it is possible to try the Annuncicom 100 IP based Intercom system for a 30 day free trial. Barix also offers a product called the IP Audio Module (see [[IPAM 102]]) which offers the same technology on a single board designed to be integrated into other products for any company that wishes to add IP Intercom technology to their products.

Currently, the information about Intercom Applications is available in the [[SIP Intercom]] applications page.

STL connection over Internet

2013-05-10T07:21:55Z

StefanG:

== Barix STL connection over Internet ==

This document describes some different methods to make a STL connection (Studio Transmitter Link) over internet with Barix Instreamer and Barix Exstreamer.

In the last chapters you can also find information about port forwarding (opening firewall) on the router and DNS. The technology is perfect to stream permanent (even 24 hour/day service) audio from point A (Instreamer in the studio) to point B (Exstreamer on the transmitter/antenna).

For a Instreamer-Exstreamer connection in a local LAN environment there is a separate guide !

Following you can find three different setups:
'''** HTTP link over internet'''
'''** RTP link over internet'''
'''** BRTP link over internet'''

Don´t forget to configure a valid gateway entry in the setup for the Instreamer and also the Exstreamer, that is required in all three modes over Internet !

If you use DNS names then you have to define also a valid DNS Server.

All the following information and a litte bit more are also in the "Howto Instreamer-Exstreamer" [http://www.barix.com/fileadmin/data/howto/Howto_Instreamer-Exstreamer_v111.pdf] contained.

== HTTP link over Internet ==

The advantage of this method is that any PC or Exstreamer can make a permanent connection or only listen the stream on request using the TCP protocol . If the network is down for a while then the Exstreamer will automatically reconnect . This method can be used with the standard Exstreamer firmware and also with the Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware.

'''Instreamer''' (e.g. 192.168.110.175) 
under Streaming : 
Radio Path : /xstream 
Stream to : Internet Radio : 0.0.0.0 : 80 (this opens a local listen port where Exstreamer connects to) 

'''Exstreamer''' (e.g. 192.168.1.20) 
(for Streaming Client firmware) 
under Streaming : 
URL x (e.g.) : http://71.42.85.19:80/xstream 

(for Exstreamer Standard firmware) 
under Streaming : 
Mode : 3 Streaming Puller 
Server IP address : IP of the Instreamer´s router (IP from ISP) e.g. 71.42.85.19 
Server Port : forwarded port on Instreamer´s router, e.g. 80 
Server Path : /xstream 

'''On the Instreamer´s network you have to open the firewall and to make a TCP port forwarding (see chapter Port forwarding), so that the Exstreamer´s request is forwarded from the firewall to the Instreamer.'''

If the router on the Instreamer´s network has no static IP address from the ISP, then you can use a DNS address :

Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware under URL x (e.g.) : http://myhome.dyndns.org:80/xstream

Standard firmware under STREAMING–Init Sequence (e.g) : S=http://myhome.dnydns.org:80/xstream

== RTP over Internet ==

For a permanent STL connection from Instreamer to Exstreamer RTP or BRTP is probably the best solution from our view. More information about the RTP /BRTP protocol are available on our RTP guide, downloadable from Barix site (on Downloads – Application Notes). RTP/ BRTP use the UDP protocol.

'''Instreamer''' (e.g. 192.168.110.175) needs min. firmware 2.02

under Audio :
MP3 Bitreservoir mode : kept empty

under Streaming :
Stream to :
RTP : IP of the router on Exstreamer´s network : forwarded UDP port on the router
e.g. Stream to : RTP : 84.29.3.105 : 4444

'''Exstreamer''' (e.g. 192.168.1.20) needs min. firmware 8.05

under Streaming :
Mode : 4 Streaming Receiver
RTP RX Port : 4444
UDP Start Threshold : min. 15000 (or higher, this defines the buffer/latency for the RTP stream)

Or for Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware:
URL x : rtp://0.0.0.0:4444

'''On the Exstreamer´s network you have to open the firewall and to make a UDP port forwarding (see chapter Port forwarding), so that the Instreamer´s stream is forwarded from the firewall to the Exstreamer.'''

DNS names are not supported in this mode, the Exstreamer´s router needs a static IP address !

== BRTP over Internet ==

For this mode you need Instreamer firmware 2.03 or higher and Exstreamer Streaming Client firmware 1.26 or higher. It does currently not work with the standard Exstreamer firmware !

For many customer’s this is probably the best solution, because it´s reliable and works with DNS names. BRTP uses UDP, so you have to make a UDP port forwarding on the router in the Instreamer’s network .

'''Instreamer''' (e.g. 192.168.110.175) needs min. firmware 2.03

under Audio :
MP3 Bitreservoir mode : kept empty

under Streaming :
Stream to e.g. : BRTP : 0.0.0.0 : 4444

Only on the first entry / line available !!! Don´t use line 2 –8 for this setting !

This opens the UDP port, where the Exstreamers (multiple !) can pull the stream from .

'''Exstreamer Streaming Client''' (e.g. 192.168.1.20) needs min. firmware 1.26
URL x : brtp://router IP from the Instreamer’s network : forwarded UDP port on the router
e.g. URL x : brtp://71.42.85.19:4444
or
URL x : brtp://DNS name of the router in Instreamer’s network : forwarded UDP port on the router
e.g. URL x : brtp://myhome.dyndns.org:4444

== Port forwarding on routers / firewalls ==

Usually most of the ports on routers/firewalls are closed for incoming internet connections. With a port forwarding you open a port on the firewall/router and you specify where the router has to forward the internet traffic which is incoming on this port to the internal network.

'''To make a device reachable through a router you have usually two options on the router/firewall :'''

1st : port forwarding
2nd : DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone)

DMZ allows you to put a whole unit to the internet, with all ports (UDP and TCP). The unit is then excepted of the firewall security. Everyone has then full access if the device isn’t password protected.

For example: The Instreamer has IP address 192.168.110.175 .
Over the public IP address 71.42.85.19 (from ISP) you can reach now the Instreamer.

Note, if you enable DMZ, then port forwarding should be not active on the same router !

'''I would prefer port forwarding instead of DMZ .'''

== DNS (Domain name service) ==

When your routers have not got a fix IP address from the ISP (Internet service provider) and the dynamic IP address changes every day, then it makes sense to use a DNS name because you cannot change the configuration of the Instreamer / Exstreamer every day .

DNS translates a unique name to a IP address. On the Internet there are some DNS registration services, DYNDNS.org is a very popular DNS service and supported from many routers.

Before you can use a DYNDNS – DNS name you have create a account on www.dyndns.org , and to select/register your DNS name. The account and the registration of a DNS name on DYNDNS is for free.

The name should be a little more specific as my example (myhome) and must be unique in the whole world.
When you have created your account and registered a valid DNS name then you have to configure your router, that the router updates the DYNDNS server every time when the router gets a new IP address from the ISP. Check first which services are supported on your router.

Messaging / Music on Hold Application from MOH Technology

2013-04-19T11:25:05Z

StefanG:

'''Messaging / Music on Hold'''

Barix partner MOH Technology have developed a complete solution based on Barix hardware that can provide on hold audio for traditional and SIP based telephone systems (Exstreamer). The system can also be configured to play the message in response to a physical trigger (Annuncicom) - this can be used to implement information booths and promotional message platforms.

The solution has two principal components:

- Central CMS for uploading, scheduling and distributing audio

- Remote location hardware: Exstreamer/Annuncicom with MOH Client ABCL firmware for playing the audio

Barix Intercom System

2013-04-19T11:21:34Z

StefanG: /* Loading the software */

This page describes how to set up a centrally driven intercom system with PS16 and Annuncicoms.

The scenario of the Intercom System is one or more call centers and many clients in the building.

== Requirements ==
You will need the following hardware:
* one or more [[PS16]] stations
* one or more [[Annuncicom 100]] or 200
* for paging purposes (output only) [[Exstreamer 100]]/200 can be used in addition or instead of the Annuncicoms

== Loading the software ==
To set up the intercom system you will need the ABCL package. The PS16 as well as the Annuncicom 200 should come with the ABCL preloaded.

The other devices (Annuncicom 100, Exstreamer 100/200) must be loaded with the ABCL software.

Download the latest version of ABCL from the [http://www.barix.com/downloads/ Barix Website] and upload to the devices [[FW Update]].

== Preparing the installation ==
=== Audio format ===
By default the intercom system uses mono uLaw 24kHz audio format. As an alternative you can use uLaw 8kHz or aLaw 8 or 24kHz. The audio format is configured in every device and must be the same for the whole system. Decide which format to use upfront.

=== IP addresses ===
The Intercom System uses IP for communication. At least the master station(s) must have a fixed IP address. The clients can have dynamic addresses assigned with DHCP, however, all units must be on the same subnet because the units discover each other using broadcast.

Before setting up the system consider what network addresses to use for your units. Write down the address(es) of the master station(s).

=== Device IDs ===
For better identification within the system each client has a unique 3-digit ID. This allows to have up to 1000 clients in the system. Before setting up the system consider the numbering of the clients. Here are some hints how to assign the IDs:
* ID is the same as the room number where the client is installed
* the ID is the building floor in the first digit followed by the room number
* the ID is the same as the last part of the IP address of the device

=== Ring tones ===
If a client requests a call, the master can play a specific audio message (ring tone)
with the description of the particular client (e.g. "Floor one calling"). These
messages are stored in MP3 format on the built-in USB stick in the PS16 station, in the "/imaster"
directory. The files are identified with the three-digit ID of the client.
E.g. "003.mp3", "017.mp3", etc.

These files are not supplied, but must be recorded by the user and stored on
the connected USB stick.

If no location specific file is provided, a default ring tone is used.

On the PS16 the USB stick is accessible after unscrewing the two screws at the
bottom of the device and lifting up the cover.

(picture)

== Configuring the clients ==
* Open the WEB UI of the Annuncicom/Exstreamer device in your browser and in the '''Application''' field select '''Intercom Client''', then press Apply.

* After the unit reboots, click on the '''Application''' button on the WEB UI.

* Assign a proper ID in the "Station ID" field.

* An optional text description (name) can be assigned to each client ("Device name"). The name will be displayed on the master whenever a call is requested. By default the name is empty.

* Up to two master stations can be configured per client. Enter their IP address. Each input button on the Annuncicom 100/200 makes a call to one master.

* If you decided to use other audio format than the default select it in the '''Encoding''' field.

* Press '''Apply''' and wait until the unit reboots.

== Configuring the PS16 ==
* Open the WEB UI of the PS16 in your browser and in the '''Application''' field select '''Intercom Master Station'''.

* Set the fixed IP address and netmask.

* Press Apply.

* After the unit reboots, click on the '''Application''' button on the WEB UI.

* Assign a proper ID in the "Station ID" field.

* If you decided to use other audio format than the default select it in the '''Encoding''' field.

* Select the default volume of the calls. The volume can be later changed with buttons.

* The master station can auto-answer a call if the operator is not present. This is so called ''unattended mode''. It can be selected manually or automatically after a timeout of not picking up the call. Select the timeout in seconds in the '''Unattended on call after''' field.

* Press '''Apply''' and wait until the unit reboots.

== Operation ==
=== Client ===
* Press button 1 to call the first master and press button 2 to call the second master.
* A call request is indicated with a ring-tone.

=== Master ===
==== Keyboard ====
The [[PS16]] is controlled with a keyboard. The PS16 keys are identified according to the following convention:
* keys are numbered from 1 to 16, left to right, the bottom row first
* the key in the lower left corner has the number 1
* the key in the lower right corner has the number 8
* the key in the upper left corner has the number 9
* the key in the upper right corner has the number 16

The following table displays the key assignment and function description:

{|border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
|-
|'''Key'''
|'''Function'''
|-
|Key 1
|accept an incoming call / hang-up current call
|-
|Key 2
|page all clients if no call is in progress (hold the key while talking)
trigger the connected client's relay (door open) for 5 seconds if a call is in progress
|-
|Key 3
|cancel an incoming call/hang-up current call
|-
|Key 4
|enter unattended mode, (pressing any other key exits unattended mode)
|-
|Key 9
|decrease audio volume by 5%
|-
|Key 10
|increase audio volume by 5%
|-
|Key 11
|Press once: start recording unattended message.
A second press stops the recording and saves the message for use.
|-
|}

==== Unattended mode ====
It is possible to set the master station into "Unattended" mode, here incoming
calls from clients will have a pre-recorded 'unattended message' played to them
and the call will then be terminated.

'''NOTE:''' the master will automatically enter "Unattended" mode if an
incoming call is not answered within the configured time period.

An initial 'unattended message' must be recorded when the system
is first being set up, otherwise calls will be hung up without
explanation. The Key 11 is used to record the message, as described above.

== Final tuning of the system ==
By default all devices are configured to play the SonicIP at startup. When the system is set-up you will probably not need the SonicIP any more. Open the WEB UI of each device in your browser, disable the SonicIP in the '''Settings''' page and press '''Apply'''.

=== Audio adjustment ===
* gain on client/master
* microphone sensitivity potentiometer on the side of the PS16 (with picture)

* A call request is indicated with a ring-tone.

=== Master ===
==== Keyboard ====
The [[PS16]] is controlled with a keyboard. The PS16 keys are identified according to the following convention:
* keys are numbered from 1 to 16, left to right, the bottom row first
* the key in the lower left corner has the number 1
* the key in the lower right corner has the number 8
* the key in the upper left corner has the number 9
* the key in the upper right corner has the number 16

The following table displays the key assignment and function description:

==== Unattended mode ====
It is possible to set the master station into "Unattended" mode, here incoming
calls from clients will have a pre-recorded 'unattended message' played to them
and the call will then be terminated.

'''NOTE:''' the master will automatically enter "Unattended" mode if an
incoming call is not answered within the configured time period.

An initial 'unattended message' must be recorded when the system
is first being set up, otherwise calls will be hung up without
explanation. The Key 11 is used to record the message, as described above.

== Final tuning of the system ==
By default all devices are configured to play the SonicIP at startup. When the system is set-up you will probably not need the SonicIP any more. Open the WEB UI of each device in your browser, disable the SonicIP in the '''Settings''' page and press '''Apply'''.

=== Audio adjustment ===
* gain on client/master
* microphone sensitivity potentiometer on the side of the PS16 (with picture)

Barix Intercom System

2013-04-19T11:09:51Z

StefanG: /* Keyboard */

This page describes how to set up a centrally driven intercom system with PS16 and Annuncicoms.

The scenario of the Intercom System is one or more call centers and many clients in the building.

== Requirements ==
You will need the following hardware:
* one or more [[PS16]] stations
* one or more Annuncicoms 100 or 200
* for paging purposes (output only) Exstreamers 100/200 can be used in addition or instead of the Annuncicoms

== Loading the software ==
To set up the intercom system you will need the ABCL package. The PS16 as well as the Annuncicom 200 should come with the ABCL preloaded.

The other devices (Annuncicom 100, Exstreamer 100/200) must be loaded with the ABCL software.

Download the latest version of ABCL from the [http://www.barix.com/downloads.php?pid=21 Barix Website] and upload to the devices using the [[Firmware upload | standard procedure]].

== Preparing the installation ==
=== Audio format ===
By default the intercom system uses mono uLaw 24kHz audio format. As an alternative you can use uLaw 8kHz or aLaw 8 or 24kHz. The audio format is configured in every device and must be the same for the whole system. Decide which format to use upfront.

=== IP addresses ===
The Intercom System uses IP for communication. At least the master station(s) must have a fixed IP address. The clients can have dynamic addresses assigned with DHCP, however, all units must be on the same subnet because the units discover each other using broadcast.

Before setting up the system consider what network addresses to use for your units. Write down the address(es) of the master station(s).

=== Device IDs ===
For better identification within the system each client has a unique 3-digit ID. This allows to have up to 1000 clients in the system. Before setting up the system consider the numbering of the clients. Here are some hints how to assign the IDs:
* ID is the same as the room number where the client is installed
* the ID is the building floor in the first digit followed by the room number
* the ID is the same as the last part of the IP address of the device

=== Ring tones ===
If a client requests a call, the master can play a specific audio message (ring tone)
with the description of the particular client (e.g. "Floor one calling"). These
messages are stored in MP3 format on the built-in USB stick in the PS16 station, in the "/imaster"
directory. The files are identified with the three-digit ID of the client.
E.g. "003.mp3", "017.mp3", etc.

These files are not supplied, but must be recorded by the user and stored on
the connected USB stick.

If no location specific file is provided, a default ring tone is used.

On the PS16 the USB stick is accessible after unscrewing the two screws at the
bottom of the device and lifting up the cover.

(picture)

== Configuring the clients ==
* Open the WEB UI of the Annuncicom/Exstreamer device in your browser and in the '''Application''' field select '''Intercom Client''', then press Apply.

* After the unit reboots, click on the '''Application''' button on the WEB UI.

* Assign a proper ID in the "Station ID" field.

* An optional text description (name) can be assigned to each client ("Device name"). The name will be displayed on the master whenever a call is requested. By default the name is empty.

* Up to two master stations can be configured per client. Enter their IP address. Each input button on the Annuncicom 100/200 makes a call to one master.

* If you decided to use other audio format than the default select it in the '''Encoding''' field.

* Press '''Apply''' and wait until the unit reboots.

== Configuring the PS16 ==
* Open the WEB UI of the PS16 in your browser and in the '''Application''' field select '''Intercom Master Station'''.

* Set the fixed IP address and netmask.

* Press Apply.

* After the unit reboots, click on the '''Application''' button on the WEB UI.

* Assign a proper ID in the "Station ID" field.

* If you decided to use other audio format than the default select it in the '''Encoding''' field.

* Select the default volume of the calls. The volume can be later changed with buttons.

* The master station can auto-answer a call if the operator is not present. This is so called ''unattended mode''. It can be selected manually or automatically after a timeout of not picking up the call. Select the timeout in seconds in the '''Unattended on call after''' field.

* Press '''Apply''' and wait until the unit reboots.

== Operation ==
=== Client ===
* Press button 1 to call the first master and press button 2 to call the second master.
* A call request is indicated with a ring-tone.

=== Master ===

SIP Intercom

2013-04-19T10:56:42Z

StefanG:

<big>SIP Intercom</big>

== Concept ==
Barix devices, in this case, specifically, the [[Annuncicom 100]] and [[Annuncicom 200]] devices (but also the most other Barix audio products), can be operated with a specific firmware which implements the SIP protocol. This firmware is available free of charge and free to download from the Barix website. The full SIP stack and application source code is included in the download, so the application can be easily changed or adapted to specific needs, where required.

To set up a basic [http://www.barix.com SIP based Intercom], no PBX is required !

In the most simple case, you can just use one, some or many Annuncicoms and in the central location, you can use the free ICGraph software package from Barix - or - if no PC should be used, a standard IP Phone !

Strictly spoken, a solution using the ICGraph software would not even use SIP, but the standard Barix communication methods. However, the functionality is similar or identical to the [http://www.barix.com SIP based solution] using a standard IP phone in the central location, so i describe both here.

== Hardware ==
At the "remote" side, you have the choice to use either the Annnuncicom 100 or the Annuncicom 200. The -100 model comes with a power supply and provides 2W of output power into an 8 Ohm speaker, while the -200 model provides 8W power to the speaker, has an additional Aiphone wall station interface and built-in PoE support (and no power suppply is included).

One or two pushbuttons (for two targets) can be directly connected to the Annuncicoms, and a relay output is available and can be used to activate a door strike or control a light or similar.

== Central location ==
=== PS16 ===
If you want a ruggedized, proven central hardware solution, the PS16 (optionally with extension boxes for more destination keys) is a good choice. It operates standalone, so no PC is required in the whole system other than for setup. Incoming calls are indicated on the LCD display and also can "ring", and the operator can control the whole function with a few keystrokes. Calling the remote stations is a one-button operation, and groups can be configured, an "absent" message recorded (which is played in case no-one answers a call) all directly at the station. The current implementation does not use SIP but a specific paging/intercom protocol defined by Barix (BARP) with significant advantages.

=== PC with ICGraph ===
The cheapest of course is "free" - that is our ICGraph software. It is java based, so it runs well on windows, linux and other platforms, very flexible in terms of configuration, provides a nice UI, and works well with the Annuncicoms. You can select stations to talk to on the graphical UI combine them to groups etc - and the station can place a call by just pressing one button.
Various "comfort" features are implemented in the software, such as logging, optional recording, group/all station calling, status monitoring etc.

=== SIP Phone ===
If you want to set up a "PC free" solution, you can also use a standard IP Phone (Grandstream, Siemens etc) as the "central". We provide a "SIP" Firmware for the Annuncicoms (again, free of charge), which can place a call to a predefined (setup) IP address without a PBX in case someone presses the button (contact closure input). This is then a standard SIP call, so the standard, central SIP phone will ring and can answer the call. On most phones you can directly "dial" an IP Address (not using a PBX/server), and if your phone has quick dial keys that can be configured to do so, this can be a very nice, low cost, reliable, PC free solution.

=== SIP PBX ===
The SIP firmware for the Annuncicom devices also can register with a standard SIP based PBX (such as Asterisk, Cisco call manager etc), in which case most functionality is defined by the PBX. The Annuncicom, in that case, only places a call with the PBX as any phone would if a button is pressed, and it can also be "called" from the phone system. Activation of the relay/door strike is done via a code typically punched in on the connected phone through proper sonfiguration on the server.
