Lencore Spectra i.Net: Sound Manager 2.0 - Manual (Page 4)

USER OPERATION
SPECTRA i.NET’S WEB-BASED ACCESS AND TUNING
CAPABILITIES USING THE SOUND MANAGER
Although most installations do not require extensive changes or re-tuning, some clients prefer
the option of network controls that enable them to make systematic and/or spot changes to
the sound masking system. To enable the clients to do this, Lencore provides a private, web-
based user interface with every Spectra i.Net® Networked Sound Masking System called the
Sound Manager.
The Sound Manager is based on an open-architecture software platform that controls and
monitors the finished sys- tem. It can be accessed from any desktop or wireless computer
with an Internet browser.
The Sound Manager user-interface control can be used to:
•
Tune the sound masking system for volume, contour & equalization
•
Create groups for masking zones, paging zones and music zones
•
Control volume and equalization for paging and music
•
Run diagnostics
•
Set and change group settings for each OP and each sound masking channel
•
Reset system to factory-set commands
•
Reset system to last saved settings
• The Sound Manager interfaces with the sound masking system OP’s through the Echelon
i.LON SmartServer.
• Each i.LON SmartServer is a control server that acts as a miniweb server. The Sound
Manager Program works exactly as a web site and is contained within the i.LON itself.
