RVON-8 RTS™ Voice Over Network Card
3. From the RVON-8 drop down list, select the slot in which the RVON-8 card resides, if it is not already
selected.
4. In the IP address field, enter the IP address you have assigned to the RVON-8 card.
5. In the Network Mask field, enter the Network Mask of the network to which the RVON-8 card is
connected.
6. In the Default Gateway field, enter the Default Gateway address (if applicable) of the network to
which the RVON-8 card is connected.
A Default Gateway is only required if the RVON-8 connections are between LANs
Under Settings for Pass-Through Serial via Ethernet
7. In the Target IP Addr. field, enter the target IP address of the device you want to connect to over
Ethernet.
8. From the Serial Baud Rate drop down list, select the baud rate at which the data is transmitted.
Under Settings for Connected Devices
Note: You MUST configure the channel settings on each end of a connection and ensure the same codec and
packet size are selected at each end. Remember, the RVON-8 card has 8 different channels which can be
configured.
9. In the RVON-8 Channel drop down list, select the channel you want to use to communicate to another
device across the network.
10. In the Device IP Addr: field, enter the IP Address of the device to which you want to connect.
11. From the Device Type drop down list, select the type of device to which the RVON-8 card is
connecting.
12. From the Device Channel drop down list, select the channel on the device to which the RVON-8 card
will communicate.
13. From the CODEC Type drop down list, select the CODEC type you want to use for this
channel.
14. From the Packet Size drop down list, select the size of each audio packet.
Note:A CODEC is an algorithm used to compress audio. There are 5 Codecs supported by Telex, G.711 µ law,
G.711A law, G.729AB, G.723 (5.3k), and G.723 (6.3k). The type of CODEC will dictate the quality of
audio you hear. and the network bandwidth used. The packet size determines how much audio data is
carried across the network in each transmitted packet. The CODEC type and packet size chosen require
different amounts of bandwidth from the network (see the table on page 8. As with the CODEC type, the
packet size you choose for the audio transfer will affect the audio you hear and the bandwidth you use
over the network. The larger the audio packet you choose to use, the lower the bandwidth used. How
ever, the larger packet size can result in a higher delay and longer gaps if the packet is lost. On the
other hand, smaller packet sizes result in larger bandwidth use, but lower delays and smaller gaps if the
packet is lost. The Intercom System Engineer and the Network Designer may want to work together in
choosing the CODEC type and packet size suitable for the size of the network, so degradation of
network resources does not happen. Use the table on page 7 to help you determine the CODEC type and
packet size appropriate for your environment.
15. Select Enable VAD (Voice Activity Detection), if you want to conserve bandwidth when the audio
level is below a given threshold.
Note: Voice Activity Detection saves network bandwidth by stopping the flow of audio packets when silence is
detected. VAD is similar to VOX.
At this point you may choose another channel to configure or choose another card to configure.
16. Once you are completely finished, click Apply.
Apply sends all of the changes to all the cards in the intercom, or click cancel to discard all changes
you make.
