Configuring the Nyquist VoIP Wall Baffle Combo Speakers

The Nyquist VoIP Wall Baffle Combo Speaker with Integrated LED Message Display and Flasher (NQ-S1810WBC) is a VoIP talkback speaker designed to work with the Nyquist Series IP network-based intercom and paging solution. It features an 8.7" × 2.35" LED display panel and a 0.35" × 3.2" flasher (located below the LED display).

The VoIP wall baffle talkback speaker assembly consists of an 8" cone speaker and VoIP module preassembled into a bright white injection-molded wall baffle speaker enclosure.

The speaker is 802.3af-compliant and designed to facilitate rapid and efficient deployment using existing network Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. It also has a Form-C relay for controlling third-party devices. These VoIP speakers enable ease of placement wherever needed within a facility.

Messages can be displayed on the LED panel using the same methods used to display messages on a GA10PV display (e.g., via the System Controller dashboard’s Display Message or the Display-Msg routine action). Messages can be up to 64 uppercase characters (lowercase characters will display as uppercase) and will scroll if they are too long to fit on the display.

If enabled, a clock showing the date, hour, minutes, and (optionally) seconds will be displayed on the LED panel whenever a message is not being displayed.

While in discovery mode (i.e., not registered with a server), the IP address and MAC will be displayed on the LED panel. The panel will display “Unregistered” if the device has encountered an error communicating with the server and “Restarting” if the device is restarting due to a configuration change by the server (e.g., an update to WBC parameters, such as LED brightness).

The flasher can be displayed—independently or in conjunction with a message—to attract attention to a message or indicate a specific event, such as activation of a Nyquist- or user-defined event. The flasher’s color (Amber, Blue, Green, Orange, Red, Violet, White, or Yellow), pattern (No Change, Off, Slow, Fast, Double, Triple, or Quad), and number of pattern cycles can be configured per event type. By default, the flasher is enabled during Nyquist system events (e.g., All-Call, Emergency-All-Call, Zone-Page, etc.).

A two-second press of the appliance’s Reset button reboots the device. If you press the Reset button for 10 seconds, the appliance returns to the factory default configuration settings. Returning to the default configuration settings does not change the appliance’s firmware.

The following sections describe the process for manual configuration. For information about using Nyquist’s automatic configuration process, refer to the appropriate Nyquist System Administrator Guide.

Note: Do not use third-party browser extensions with the Nyquist user interface.

To access the appliance’s Web-based user interface (UI):

1​Before accessing the web UI for the first time, the Bogen Certification Authority (CA) digital certificate must be installed on the client. This certificate can be downloaded from any Nyquist appliance and enables your browser to recognize the Nyquist web application as a trusted site.
For details on how to download and install the certificate to your client computers, see "Bogen Digital Certification Authority".

2​Access the appliance’s web UI by doing one of the following:

a)​On your web browser, enter the IP address for the appliance as the URL.

b)​From the Nyquist server’s web UI navigation bar, select Stations, select Stations Status or Appliance Status, navigate to the device that you want to configure, and then select the Link icon.

c)​From the Nyquist server’s Appliance Discovery Wizard, select the Link icon for the device that you want to configure.

3​At the Nyquist appliance’s Login page, enter username and password, then press enter or click on the Login button.
The default username is admin; the default password is bogen.

Note: After a successful login, a warning will be displayed if the default password is still in use. We strongly encourage changing the default password as soon as possible.

When you have logged in successfully, you will be presented with the dashboard for the appliance.
