intercom, etc., please configure the parameters as shown in the figure below and actually configure
In a word, all the above three ways can enter the selected terminal. The specific choice them according to user needs:
can be decided according to the user's own habits, as shown in the figure below:

1 "1" in the figure is used for the general parameters of the equipment terminal. If there is no special
requirement except "Equipment Name", it is recommended to use the system default <These
settings do not need to be saved by the user, the software will automatically synchronize and
save, if the settings are unsuccessful, it will automatically restore the previous settings >:

For the device ID, please be careful not to set the same ID number as other devices in the system. It
must be unique, and of course, the system will detect it automatically during the modification
process;
For equipment, the value range of priority is: the smaller the value of "0 ~ 255", the higher the
priority;
For "SNMP Time (4 ~ 100)", which is used for device timing query, it is ok to keep the default in
general. The size of the value reflects the speed of device status update.

2 "2" in the figure is used to set intercom and pager prompt sound and output volume, generally
keeping the default <Prompt：Place the mouse on the icon of the corresponding function for a
while and the corresponding function description will pop up>:

7. Extended function：
(1). "TTS" stands for Talk To Speech, a text-to-speech tool: It is mainly used to help
users use standard pronunciation to broadcast broadcasts or convert some text-
only texts into sound for broadcast. The following specific steps are as follows:

Conditions:
Now I want to broadcast this passage to the designated terminal via audio (connect to the
GROUP 1 packet terminal described above).
User configuration can be edited only as a system administrator. Other users do not have this
permission. The main user configures general operator users and assigns their corresponding Text:

1 Step 1: main menu "Tool (T)" -- > "Text converter to WAV (TTS)..."Pop up: (2). Because the MP3 file is small, the compression rate is large, and the reduction
distortion is relatively small, it provides the "WAV to MP3" format function, which is
similar to the above TTS conversion, that is, the file is replaced with a WAV format
audio file. The format is converted to another format, and the operation mode
parameter software runs according to the instructions, which is not described.

(3). Terminal firmware Upgrade: "Tool(T) -- >Upgrade firmware" in order to follow the
needs of users, the server integrated terminal online Upgrade function, to avoid the
tedious steps that traditional equipment needed to dismantle and pass through
professional tools. It is important to note here that the upgraded terminal needs to
match the firmware, or it can only be returned to the factory ^-^.

(4). Batch IP address and ID modification: "Setting —>Advance configuration" pops

up the user identity <default is the user login password>, the user can modify the IP
address and ID number of all terminals in the system with one key, which is
convenient for management, and there is no terminal successfully modified

(6). Terminal information download: "Setting —>Audio file transmission..." pop-up 8. Common Problem:
to use:
(1). The server cannot find the terminal:
1 Confirm whether the network card selected by the server software is correct——Please pay
attention to static routing for multiple network cards. If there are multiple network cards, this is the
reason.
2 Detect whether the multicast address of the terminal is modified-the terminal device has an IP
address reset button, please refer to the user manual of the relevant terminal for the parameter.
3 Detect the multicast address of the server.

(2). The terminal output audio has several different sounds or intermittent:
1 Check whether multiple server software is running in the same network and all of them are working.
Please modify the multicast address or port number - address or port number conflict.
2 Detect whether the multicast address played by the server software has been artificially modified-
address or port number conflict.
3 Of course, the above problems are to ensure that the network is normal and not blocked, otherwise
please eliminate the network itself.
