Configuring the Audio Module

The video server’s administration pages provide all the tools required for successfully configuring the AXIS 2191. From the server’s home page, click on the link to Administration Tools and then follow this procedure:

1.In the Admin tools, click on the icon for COM2. Select the AXIS 2191 Audio Module as the Purpose for this port. Click Save.

Note: If the AXIS 2191 is not available for selection, the video server does not have the correct firm- ware for running this device and must be upgraded. See Updating the Firmware, on page 44.

2.You should now see the icon for the AXIS 2191 Audio Module under the icon for COM2.

Click this icon to open the Audio Settings page.

3.Select the Audio Mode. This can be:

•Full-Duplex (Talk and Listen Simultaneously)

•Half-Duplex (Talk and Listen)

•Simplex - Talk

•Simplex - Listen

This selection will depend on your application. See page 35 for more information.

4.Enter the maximum number of clients that will be able to access the application at any one time. Use this setting to limit access if you only have limited bandwidth available.

5.If you are using Half-Duplex mode, the Send option can be used to send audio from the client currently transmitting to all the other clients, and not just to the server end. Set to Yes to enable the function.

6.When using Half-Duplex, the Push-To-Talkbutton will be visible. Select the mode to use for this button. Selecting Toggle means that when the button is pushed it will remain so until pushed again. Instant means that the button will remain active (pushed) until released.

7.Adjust the Volume Out control until a satisfactory speaker level is heard. The Level Out LED can be used to check that there is audio being received. Note that both the control and the LED are on the audio module itself.
