The SPON IP Network Waterproof Column Speaker is a sophisticated audio device designed for public address systems, integrating network audio decoding, amplification, and a column speaker into a single, wall-mounted unit. This device leverages IP Audio digital network audio technology, offering robust performance and versatile functionality for various environments.
Function Description:
The primary function of this device is to provide high-quality audio broadcasting over an IP network. It acts as a terminal in a public address system, capable of receiving and playing broadcast audio. Its IP network capabilities allow for flexible deployment and management across different network segments and routers. The speaker supports both real-time and offline broadcasting, making it suitable for scheduled announcements, emergency alerts, and background music.
A key feature is its ability to support 1-way alarm input and alarm output. When a short-circuit input interface is triggered, the speaker can automatically play pre-configured audio files from its FTP alarm catalog. This makes it ideal for security and emergency notification systems. The device also incorporates environmental noise detection, allowing it to automatically adjust broadcast output volume based on ambient noise levels, ensuring optimal audibility in varying conditions.
For monitoring and maintenance, the speaker includes built-in loop detection, which enables remote monitoring of its working status. This feature helps in identifying and troubleshooting issues efficiently. The device also supports remote digital volume adjustment, providing convenient control over audio output.

Usage Features:
- Easy Installation: Wall-mounted design with clear wiring instructions for power, network, and short-circuit interfaces.
- Network Configuration:
- Scanning Tool: A dedicated "Devconfigtool.exe" allows for easy scanning and configuration of network parameters (IP, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) with a default password "123456". This method requires the computer to be directly connected to the target terminal and running in administrator mode with firewalls disabled.
- Webpage Mode: Users can access the device's web interface by entering its IP address in a browser. This interface provides comprehensive settings for network, server, audio, and alarm parameters.
- Server Connectivity: Configurable primary and secondary server IPs, allowing for failover in case the primary server is unreachable.
- Firmware Upgrade: Supports firmware upgrades via the web interface by selecting manufacturer-provided files.
- Language Settings: The web interface supports switching between Chinese and English.
- System Log: Records operating conditions and events, viewable through the web interface, aiding in troubleshooting and system monitoring.
- Offline Broadcast: The speaker can play scheduled ring bell tasks even when offline, provided these tasks are exported from the server software to a USB drive and then transferred to the speaker's FTP root directory (specifically the "NAS2007" folder). Only MP3 format audio is supported for offline broadcasts.
- Receive Monitor: The speaker can receive monitoring initiated by other terminals in the system.
- Other Functions: In cooperation with the server software, the device can perform time-fixed ringing, real-time broadcasting, and fixed-time broadcasting.
Maintenance Features:
- Status Indicators:
- Power/Link Indicator: Green light indicates power and network connection; red light indicates offline status.
- Status Indicator: Red light slowly flashes when offline; green light is normally ON when online; green light quickly flashes when receiving a broadcast task.
- Reset Button: A physical reset button is available to restore the device to default settings.
- Mandatory Upgrade Key: A physical button that, when pressed during power-up, forces the terminal into an upgrade status, useful for firmware recovery.
- Remote Monitoring: Built-in loop detection allows for remote monitoring of the speaker's working status, facilitating proactive maintenance.
- Web-based Management: The web interface provides a centralized platform for configuring and monitoring all device parameters, including system logs, reducing the need for physical access for routine checks.
- Password Protection: Usernames and passwords for the web interface can be modified, enhancing security.
- Fault Exclusion Guide: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as inability to log in to the server, network service failures, and abnormal web display, offering step-by-step solutions.
- Factory Reset: The web interface offers options to restore either all parameters to factory defaults or to the last correct settings, providing flexibility in recovery.
- Reboot Function: The device can be rebooted remotely via the web interface, which is often necessary for new settings to take effect.
The SPON IP Network Waterproof Column Speaker is a robust, feature-rich solution for public address systems requiring reliable audio delivery and flexible network management, especially in environments where weather resistance and remote control are crucial.
