Smart PAÊStation Configuration
Before you start configuring any SMART PA STATION, you must tell it what address the MA-100 will find
it at and make sure that the baud rate being used matches the MA-100. To reset any SMART PA STATION
to itÕs default configuration:
1)
Power down the Smart PA Station by unplugging it (or you can even power down the whole
PA system if this is easier).
2)
Depress the pushbutton on the back of the Smart PA Station.
3)
Power the Smart PA Station (or whole PA System) back up while still holding in the button.
This will load the EEPROM on the Smart PA Station with the default configuration. When this is done, it
will put the station into the ADDRESS SETUP MODE.
Smart PA Station ADDRESS SETUP MODE is used to select the address for the PA station and the baud
rate it will use. To enter this mode without loading in the default configuration for the PA station:
1)
With the station powered up, press the button on the back of the Smart PA Station. This will
display the baud rate and address for this PA station on itÕs LCD display.
2)
Use the keypad on the microphone to select the address (00 to FF) for this Smart PA Station.
The address must match the MA-100/200 port into which the station is plugged.
3)
Use the ÔUPÕ and ÔDOWNÕ keys on the microphone to adjust the baud rate until it matches the
speed used on the MA-100.
4)
When both of these settings have been made, click the microphoneÕs PTT button once to put
the PA station back into itÕs normal operating mode.
The microphone used on a Smart PA System is of a style which is typically used for amateur radio op-
erations. It includes a DTMF (Ôtouch toneÕ) keypad as well as a three additional keys (Push To Talk (PTT), UP,
and DOWN). The microphone is modified with the addition of two internal resistors which allow for func-
tions such as the microphone monitoring (removing a microphone from a Smart PA Station will generate
an error message on the terminal and/or printer). The microphone is wired to a 8 pin connector as fol-
lows (the internal audio connections in the microphone are not shown):
