Configuring the Nyquist VoIP Intercom Module

Bogen’s plenum-rated Nyquist Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) intercom modules transform any low-impedance analog speaker into a full-featured Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) IP speaker. The modules use the latest technology to deliver superior audio quality, making them perfect for IP paging and audio distribution. The built-in talkback capability allows these modules to be used in VoIP intercom applications.

These 10-watt single-channel intercom modules are available with (NQ-GA10PV) or without (NQ-GA10P) an HDMI video output, depending upon the application needs. They also offer a CAN bus interface to work with the NQ-E7020 Digital Call Switch and a Form-C relay for controlling third- party devices. Additionally, when paired with Bogen’s ANS500M microphone module (optional), these intercom modules can be turned into an ambient noise sensor to help maintain paging and background music intelligibility in high-noise environments.

If an HDMI video device is attached, this device can display messages and images sent by a Nyquist server, as well as a digital or analog clock. These messages can be used for scheduled announcements, emergency instructions, automatically triggered messages, simple ad-hoc messages, or many other purposes. If a Nyquist server is not present, the device will display an analog clock and compatibility information about supported resolutions. For further information on displaying and scheduling messages, see the “Managing GA10PV Display Messages” section of the Nyquist System Administrator Guide.

The Nyquist server or system controller can automatically discover and configure the VoIP intercom module, but you can also manage the device, and manually configure some settings, through the VoIP Intercom Module’s web-based user interface (web UI).

A short press of the appliance’s Reset button reboots the device. If you press the Reset button for 10 seconds, the appliance returns to the factory default configuration settings. Returning to the default configuration settings does not change the appliance’s firmware.

The following sections describe settings and configurations that can be applied to this device which are not controlled by the Nyquist server. For information about using Nyquist’s automatic configuration process, refer to the Nyquist System Administrator Guide.

To access the appliance’s UI:

Note: Do not use third-party Chrome browser extensions with the Nyquist user interface.

a)    On your web browser, enter the IP address for the appliance as the URL.
