Configure Your Speakers
Note: Only All Sites Admins have full access to configuration.
Your supported IP speakers need to register with UNP in order to use them to send or receive notifications.
The basic configurations are:
Configure DHCP option 72 so your speakers register
If you haven't already, set your DHCP option 72 to the UNP IP address. DHCP Option 72 WWW server value allows Syn-Apps hardware and Syn-Apps API-certified IP devices to automatically register with UNP. See DHCP Option 72.
Configure multicast, which is required for audio
Multicast is required for audio attached to notifications. Check with your network administrator to confirm that either your network is configured for multicast or Syn-Apps Paging Relay(s) have been installed and configured.
Configure your Honeywell X-618 DCS speakers, if you have them
If your using Honeywell's X-618 DCS system, configure it for UNP.
Configure additional speaker functions
- Assign a custom name to your speakers.
- Group speakers together by destination code.
- Configure SIP-compliant IP devices not running the Syn-Apps IP Device API so they can receive audio attached to notifications.
- Configure static streams that allow you to communicate with your legacy speakers.
- Unlicense speakers you don't want to use as endpoints.
- Multi-site organizations only: Assign sites to speakers – manually or dynamically.
Make adjustments to speaker default configurations
