VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1) The Vocia Paging Station Interface (VPSI-1) device is designed to allow third party microphones and LED indicators to interface as slave devices to the Vocia Wall Station and Desk Station (WS-4/10 and DS-4/10) series microphones and to the Vocia Input 6 (VI-6) device for paging via the Paging Ports. Up to four VPSI-1 interfaces can be connected per VI-6 when configured for Vocia Auxiliary Microphone mode.
VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1) Setup and Use The Vocia software is used for configuring and programming the host device interfacing to the VPSI-1. The information supplied by this manual relates to hardware installation, physical connections and device information. For more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Software Help File. Installation The VPSI-1 has mounting holes to facilitate discreet surface mount installation local to the external interfacing equipment.
VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1) RS-232 or LED Configuration The DB-9 connector can be configured one of two ways, LED mode, labeled as ‘Auxiliary Microphone’ mode in the software or RS-232 mode, labeled as ‘Remote Control’ mode in the software. LED mode allows an external (customer supplied) LED circuit to display Paging indication status. RS-232 mode allows a third party control system to control the host Paging Station using Vocia Text Protocol (VTP) messages.
VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1) Using the VPSI-1 with a Vocia Paging Station The VPSI-1 is designed to connect to the Paging Station Auxiliary Port. The Paging Station Auxiliary Port is located on the underside of the Desk Station paging device or internally on a Wall Station paging device. The Vocia software is used to specify the Page Code accessed when using the VPSI-1 PTT.
VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1) Using the VPSI-1 with a Vocia Input 6 (VI-6) The VPSI-1 can be connected to the VI-6 Paging Port Inputs. One VPSI-1 is able to be connected to each Paging Port Input with a total of four able to be connected to a single VI-6. When the VI-6 audio input path is configured to use the VPSI-1 the associated Line Inputs of the VI-6 will be disabled.
