Intercom Configuration - TalkMaster Clients Configuring intercoms for use with TalkMaster (Point to Multi-Point)
This procedure configures Intercoms to connect to the IP address of the PC running
TalkMaster™. This connection can be on a LAN, WAN or across the Internet.
To configure two intercoms to connect to each other, please see Intercom Configuration -
Direct Mode.
From the main TalkMaster™ screen, select the menu Admin Configure Intercoms. The
system will scan the local network segment using a UDP Broadcast to find all IP Intercoms.
New Intercoms will show up with IP addresses of zero.
The Icom ID displayed on the screen will match the ID# printed on the back of the Intercom. If you have intercoms located in a different network segment, you may not find them since
many routers filter out UDP Broadcasts. You can either configure these intercoms on the
current network segment prior to installing them on the desired network or you can install a
copy of TalkMaster in the other network segment to configure your intercoms. Refer to the
TalkMaster installation CD for instructions on installing the UBAM™ software to configure units
across different networks.
