MODEL 371A
INTERCOM BELTPACK
associated with this channel is going to be
monitored but talk audio is not allowed to
“join” this specific intercom channel.
System – Mic Kill
Choices are Off, Device ID, Global Kill
Command, and Device ID/Global Kill
Command.
The mic kill function allows an enabled
talk channel to be disabled by remote con-
trol. Specifically, it’s possible to remotely
change all active (on) talk channels to
their off state. This function is sometimes
referred to as a “talk off” function. There
are two means available to remotely dis-
able all active talk channels. The Device ID
method uses the identification command
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
generated by applications that incorporate
the Studio Technologies’ proprietary meth-
od. This method utilizes sending a data
command 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 371A operation can com-
mence. An Ethernet connection with
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability
should have been made. A headset termi-
nated with a cable-mounted 4-pin female
XLR connector should be plugged into the
headset connector.
Using the Studio Technologies STcon-
troller software application the unit’s con-
figuration should have been selected to
meet the needs of the specific application.
The Model 371A’s Dante configuration
settings should have been selected using
the Dante Controller software application.
In this way the Model 371A’s two audio
output channels (Dante transmitter chan-
nels) and two audio input channels (Dante
receiver channels) should have been
routed, by way of Dante “subscriptions,”
to the receiver and transmitter channels
on associated Dante-enabled equipment.
Initial Operation
The Model 371A 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 opera-
tion to commence. Upon initial power up
the three status LEDs located on the bot-
tom panel below the etherCON RJ45 re-
ceptacle will begin to light as network and
Dante connections are established. The
green and orange LEDs that illuminate the
three pushbutton switches on the top pan-
el may initially light randomly and then will
light in a test sequence to indicate that the
application 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
371A’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
