Wired Mode
A wired mode configuration consists of only TR-240 beltpacks
connected together via Ethernet cable or through a building’s
existing Ethernet infrastructure. This type of configuration is
shown in Figure 7-2.
Set-up
1. Connect the TR-240(s) to each other via Ethernet cables.
•
Use category 5e or better Ethernet cables that are wired
to standards T-568A or T-568B (most Ethernet cables
are built to these standards).
•
Do not use more than 100m (328ft) of Ethernet cable
between devices.
•
If desired, a user can plug the TR-240 into an AC outlet
with the supplied external power supply while being
used in wired mode.
2. Plug headsets into the TR-240 beltpacks and turn them on,
one by one.
•
If the beltpack has not been previously set to wired mode,
press and hold the < 2 > button while the beltpack boots.
•
Allow a few seconds between each beltpack power on.
•
After approximately 20 seconds, the “wired” voice
prompt will be announced in the headset indicating that
communication has started.
Wired Capacity Limit
Up to 12 full-duplex wired beltpacks can be used in the absence
of a BTR-240 base station, on a dedicated network, for reliable
and uninterrupted communications. Many more half-duplex
beltpacks can be used.
If the TR-240 network is loaded beyond the capacity limit, the
usability becomes highly subjective. The users will begin to
experience drop outs and potentially delays in the audio.
NOTE: The capacity limit may not be achieved if there is
interference on the network. For further details, refer to
Network Interference in Section 10.
Wireless and Wired Mixed-Mode
A BTR-240 base station can also support a mixture of wired and
wireless TR-240 beltpacks. Figure 7-3 shows an example of this
type of configuration.
Set-up
1. Select a location for the BTR-240 base station and connect
the power cord and antennas.
•
When using omni-directional antennas, place the base
station as close to the center of the coverage area as
possible.
2. Connect base station to external audio interfaces. For
example: 2-wire, 4-wire, Auxiliary, Speaker, local headset.
