MODEL 370A
INTERCOM BELTPACK
generated by the Dante Controller or
STcontroller software applications as a
“trigger” to disable any active talk chan-
nels. The Global Kill Command can be gen-
erated by applications that incorporate the
Studio Technologies’ proprietary method.
This method utilizes sending a data com-
mand over the Ethernet connection. Select
the desired mic kill configuration from the
four choices. Off simply means that no
remote talk control is supported.
Operation
At this point everything should be ready
and Model 370A operation can commence.
An Ethernet connection with Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) capability should have been
made. A headset terminated with a cable-
mounted 5-pin male XLR connector should
be plugged into the headset connector.
Using the Studio Technologies STcontroller
software application the unit’s configura-
tion should have been selected to meet
the needs of the specific application. The
Model 370A’s Dante configuration settings
should have been selected using the Dante
Controller software application. In this way
the Model 370A’s two audio output chan-
nels (Dante transmitter channels) and two
audio input channels (Dante receiver chan-
nels) should have been routed, by way of
Dante “subscriptions,” to the receiver and
transmitter channels on associated Dante-
enabled equipment.
Initial Operation
The Model 370A will start to function as
soon as a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power
source is connected. However, it may take
20 to 30 seconds for full operation to com-
mence. Upon initial power up the three
status LEDs located on the bottom panel
below the etherCON RJ45 receptacle will
begin to light as network and Dante con-
nections are established. The green and
orange LEDs that illuminate the three
pushbutton switches on the top panel may
initially light randomly and then will light in
a test sequence to indicate that the ap-
plication firmware (embedded software)
has started. Once the entire sequence has
completed and the Dante connection has
been established full operation will begin.
Ethernet and Dante Status
LEDs
Three status LEDs are located below the
etherCON RJ45 receptacle on the Model
370A’s bottom panel. The LINK ACT LED
will light green whenever an active con-
nection to a 100 Mb/s Ethernet network
has been established. It will flash in re-
sponse to Ethernet data packet activity.
The SYS and SYNC LEDs display the
operating status of the Dante interface and
associated network. The SYS LED will light
red upon Model 370A power up to indi-
cate that the Dante interface is not ready.
After a short interval it will light green to
indicate that it is ready to pass data with
another Dante device. The SYNC LED
will light red when the Model 370A is not
synchronized with a Dante network. It will
light solid green when the Model 370A is
synchronized with a Dante network and an
external clock source (timing reference)
is being received. It will slowly flash green
when this specific Model 370A is serving
as the clock master for the network. It’s
possible that up to 30 seconds may be
required for the SYNC LED to reach its
final state.
