Connecting your TOA IP-A1AF IP Audio Interface to your network involves a few straightforward steps. Here's a breakdown to get you started:

1. Network Connection:

   • Use a LAN cable (straight UTP or STP cable, Category 5e or higher with RJ45 connectors) to connect the IP-A1AF to a PoE+ or PoE switching hub. Power is supplied through the PoE+ or PoE switching hub.
   • Compatible switching hubs include those conforming to PoE+ (IEEE802.3at Class 4) or PoE (IEEE802.3af Class 3) specifications.

2. Connections for LINE/MIC Input and Line Output Terminals:

   • Use the provided removable terminal plugs (6 pins) for connections.
   • Connect your audio device using a 2-core shielded cable.
   • Set the DIP switch according to the audio device you're connecting.
   • Adjust the input level so the LINE/MIC input signal indicator lights green, avoiding red.

3. Connections for Control Input and Output Terminals:

   • Use the provided removable terminal plugs (6 pins) for connections.
   • Connect a control line for 2-channel control input and 1-channel control output from an external control device to the unit's control input or control output terminal.

4. Plug Connection Procedure:

   • Remove the plug from the terminal.
   • Loosen the terminal screws and insert a wire.
   • Tighten the screws firmly.
   • Insert the plug into the terminal.

5. Accessing Settings via Browser:

   • Open your web browser.
   • Enter the IP address of the speaker in the address field.
   • Enter your username and password, then click the LOGIN button to access the settings.
