Intercom Configuration Tool cannot find Intercoms
•Verify that the ACTIVE or LD10 LED is on or flashing. If not, check the power connections.
•Verify that the LINK or LD9 LED is on. If not, verify the network cable between the Intercom and the network switch.
•Verify that the Intercoms are on the same network segment as TalkMaster™. TalkMaster uses a UDP Broadcast to search for Intercoms. Since most routers are configured to block UDP Broadcasts, you will not be able to configure the Intercoms in other networks. Perform the configuration in a single network, or install UBAM™ software from the TalkMaster Installation CD.

•Incorrect subnet or gateway address in the Intercom.
•Incorrect Server IP address.
•Intercoms have been Forwarded or Fail Forwarded to a different IP Address. Use the Retrieve button to reset all intercoms to connect back to their default IP address.
Resetting Intercom Configuration
•To reset an IP Intercom’s configuration to factory defaults, unplug the power cord, press and hold the Talk and Volume Up buttons, plug the power cord in, wait 2 seconds and release the Talk and Volume Up buttons. A beep from the speaker indicates the intercom’s configuration has been reset.
