3.5 Operating modes of the system

The figures below show the systems in a typical operation and their wirings.

3.5.1 POTS operating mode

In the POTS operating mode, two channels (via two POTS telephone interfaces)are available for Audio transmission with 3.1 kHz quality.

The minimal wiring for the operation with an analogue telephone line is picturedin Fig. 4.

FIG. 4 MINIMUM WIRING IN POTS OPERATING MODE

The maximum wiring with all options is shown in Fig. 5. The LAN interface allowsthe connection with a PC with CONNECT Trio Software. Via the PHONE Interfacesup to two POTS telephones can be connected for dialling if required.

NOTE In the wiring diagrams the AES/EBU interface is used for normal operation withthe Digital Matrix equipped with CAT5 cards. The AES/EBU interface allows thendirect dial-out and accepting of incoming calls.The available analogue Audio interface can also be used (AIO cards), but remotecontrol (dialling, accepting a call) is in this case not possible.

ATTENTION Earthing

If the POTS interfaces are in operation, the system must be earthed via earthingscrew for EMC reasons. If the earthing is not carried out, the Audio signal can befaulty on the caller’s side (humming).

ATTENTION Connection of a POTS Telephone

Please note that the PHONE interfaces are implemented as 6-pole Western sock-ets. Standard telephones with 4-pole Western connectors must not be used be-cause otherwise the contacts in the socket will be destroyed.

5.5.2.1.2 Signal Processing (G.711)

Under Signal Processing you can configure the AGC (Automatic Gain Control),the Echo Canceller as well as the Expander.

FIG. 22 SIGNAL PROCESSING (G.711)

Line Settings

• A separate Automatic Gain Control (AGC) can be switched on for both chan-nels.

Please select the desired line with your mouse. To switch off the AGC select Off. To switch it on select On.

FIG. 23 CONFIGURATION AGC

Via the button Set AGC on/off for all lines you can switch on respectively switch off the AGC for all lines.

ATTENTION The Signal Processing feature is only relevant for G.711/Telephone connec-tions.

ATTENTION An Automatic Gain Control is reasonable if you do not have the possibility for ad-justing the correct level before the transmission.

But: An AGC is no wizard. Extremely low callers cannot be boosted boundlessly.Extremely loud callers cannot be toned down boundlessly.

!

!


• An Expander tones down the caller signal automatically, if its level falls below a certain threshold value. The aim is to completely filter out background noises of callers who are not currently speaking.

To activate the Expander select the desired line with your mouse. To switch off the Expander select Off. To switch it on select On.

Via the button Set Expander on/off for all lines you can switch on respec-tively switch off the Expander for all lines.

Automatic Gain Control Settings (AGC)/Expander

The correct functioning of the AGC can be optimised via several parameters.

• Threshold: The AGC does not start before the signal exceeds the threshold value set here. The default setting is -45 dBFs.

• Level: The level set here corresponds to the average desired level. Please con-sider sufficient head room. The default setting is -24 dBFs.

• Speed: Depending on the desired speed of the level adjustment (Slow, Me-dium or Fast) you can adjust the setting of the AGC speed. The faster the AGC must work the more noticeable are the inconsistencies. If the selected speed is too slow, the caller signal is too low or too loud on average. The default set-ting is Medium.

• With the use of the key Default Settings the default settings named above can be configured and the Expander can be activated.

Volume Control

Under Volume Control you can select the Default Value for the volume controlwithin the range of -16 ... +16 dB.

5.5.2.1.3 Relay / TTL

5.5.2.2.6 VoIP (LAN/SIP)

If you operate the CONNECT Trio in the VoIP mode, you need to configure the set-tings for the IP connection and the SIP Server under this menu item.

FIG. 35 VOIP (LAN/SIP)

In the upper part of the window the settings for the SIP Server can be configured.You need to enter the IP Address of the SIP Server to which you are connected forLine 1 and Line 2 under SIP Server.

If you work with a STUN1 Server, please select the option Use STUN.

Under User Name and Password you can enter the credential settings of yoursystem for the registration at the SIP Server

Under Audio UDP Port you need to enter the UDP Port which you use for yourAudio transmission.

STUN Server Parameters

• If you use a STUN Server, please enter the IP Address here.

LAN Parameters

• Decoder Buffer Mode: The Audio transmission over IP networks via UDP2 re-quires a buffer in the decoder due to the different transmission times of the individual IP packets within the network (Jitter). By default the buffer mode should be set to Automatic. To be on the safe side, the automatic mode se-lects a larger buffer than it might be required.If you know the parameters of your network provider, you can select a Fixed buffer. In this way, the total delay of an Audio transmission can be optimised.

1 STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs (Network Address Translation)) is a protocol for assisting devices behind a NAT firewall or router with their packet routing.

2 UDP = User Data Protocol

VoIP


• Decoder Buffer Size: If the Decoder Buffer Mode is set to Fixed, you can select the buffer size within the range of 20 ... 2000 msec.

• Encoder Packet Size: To optimise the total delay, the size of the encoder packets can be adjusted. The IP Overhead will be minimised when a larger packet size is selected. However, in this case the total delay will be increased and if a larger packet is lost, the audible disturbance is much higher. The packet size can be adjusted with the range of 4... 50 msec.

ATTENTION If you experience packet loss, please try to set a larger buffer.
