SNOM-PA1 - Set-up
Configuration
1. Ensure the network is configured with DHCP
2. Plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector labelled "Port 1PoE".
a. The second RJ45 connector labelled "Port 2" is for daisy-chaining further Ethernet devices without the need for
another Ethernet cable.
Note: If no PoE available: Connect a snom-approved 5 V 10 W power adapter to the power connector labelled "5V DC".
(Not included – must be ordered).
3. Plug a speaker device (speaker wire or audio jack labeled “line out”) into the PA-1.

Overview

The SNOM-PA1 is a public address system designed for integration with network infrastructure, primarily for paging and audio broadcasting.

Function Description

The SNOM-PA1 serves as a network-enabled paging device, allowing for audio output through connected speakers. It supports DHCP for network configuration, simplifying its integration into existing networks. The device features two RJ45 Ethernet ports: "Port 1 PoE" for network connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, and "Port 2" for daisy-chaining additional Ethernet devices, eliminating the need for separate network drops. Audio output is facilitated through a dedicated "line out" port, which can connect to speaker wires or an audio jack. The device also includes a "Mic-In" port, "KBD" (keyboard) port, "VDD" (voltage drain-drain) port, and "I/O 2" port, indicating potential for additional input/output and control functionalities.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Network Connectivity: DHCP support for automatic IP address assignment.
  • Ethernet Ports:
    • "Port 1 PoE": RJ45 connector for network connection and Power over Ethernet.
    • "Port 2": RJ45 connector for daisy-chaining other Ethernet devices.
  • Power Input:
    • PoE via "Port 1 PoE".
    • Optional 5V 10W power adapter via "5V DC" port (not included, must be ordered).
  • Audio Output: "Line Out" port for connecting to speaker devices (speaker wire or audio jack).
  • User Interface: "IP/Reset" button for announcing the device's IP address and initiating reboots.
  • LED Indicators: Red and Green LEDs to indicate device status, network connectivity, and firmware update progress.
  • Default Administrator Credentials:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: 654
  • Firmware Update URL: http://pps.calltower.com/snom/settings/snomPA1.xml
  • Skype for Business Integration: Supports SIP URI configuration for sign-in with Skype for Business credentials (Standard or Enterprise with Voice enabled).

Usage Features

  • Easy Network Setup: Automatically obtains an IP address via DHCP.
  • PoE Support: Simplifies installation by powering the device through the Ethernet cable, reducing cable clutter.
  • Daisy-Chaining: "Port 2" allows for connecting additional Ethernet devices, optimizing network cabling in installations with multiple devices.
  • IP Address Announcement: A quick press of the "IP/Reset" button causes the device to announce its assigned IP address, aiding in initial setup and troubleshooting.
  • Web-Based Configuration: The device features a web interface accessible via its IP address, allowing for comprehensive configuration and management.
  • Firmware Updates: Supports automatic firmware updates via a specified URL, ensuring the device remains up-to-date with the latest features and security patches.
  • Skype for Business Integration: Can be configured to sign in with Skype for Business credentials, enabling it to function as a paging device within a Skype for Business environment. It supports auto-answering calls for paging purposes.
  • Status Indicators: LED lights provide visual feedback on the device's operational status, including network connectivity and firmware update progress.

Maintenance Features

  • Firmware Update Process: The device supports a web-based firmware update process. It is crucial to allow the update to complete without interruption (e.g., power loss) to prevent damage to the firmware. The red LED indicates an ongoing firmware update.
  • Reboot Functionality: The web interface allows for remote rebooting of the device, which can take up to 5 minutes.
  • Troubleshooting LEDs: The Red and Green LEDs are vital for diagnosing issues. If they do not light simultaneously, it indicates a network configuration problem (e.g., no IP assigned), prompting a return to the initial setup steps.
  • Power Supply Considerations: When PoE is not available, an external 5V 10W power adapter must be used. It is important to use a snom-approved adapter.
  • Firmware Damage Prevention: During firmware updates, it is critical not to remove the power supply. Interrupting the update process can damage the firmware, rendering the device inoperable and requiring it to be returned to the vendor for resetting.
