Check that the computer can produce sound; update

 

drivers as necessary.

 

Connect a microphone to the computer and bring up

 

the recording control window. Check that the input

 

terminal you are using is active and that it is set to an

 

appropriate level. Bring up the playback control window;

 

make sure that it is not muted and that it is set to an

 

appropriate level. Check that you can hear something

 

from the speakers connected to your computer.

 

Check that you are using a compatible operating

 

system.

 

Check that Voice is checked in the ARHP-10 setup

 

window on the host computer.

 

Check that KNS VOICE is illuminated in the ARCP-480

 

display. If it is not, recheck the host computer operating

 

system for compatibility and also the network settings

 

(including the ISP service for the host computer).

 

If using a WAN, check that KNS will work locally over

 

your LAN.

 

If using a WAN, check your communications hardware

 

and ISP settings. (If you are using a router, try removing

 

it temporarily to see if that makes a difference.)

 

Check that Voice is checked in the ARCP setup

 

window.

 

Check the modulation line. Check that the host PC

 

audio cable connection method in the TX Control frame

 

of the Setup window is the same.

on both host and remote computers and try adjusting

 

the levels.

 

If the RX audio seems faint, and if the Line-in terminal is

 

being used for input on the host computer, try switching

 

to the Mic-in terminal.

 

If modulation seems faint during TX, and if the Line-out

 

terminal is being used for output on the host computer,

 

try switching to the Speaker-out terminal.
