Configuring the Nyquist VoIP Intercom Module

Bogen’s plenum-rated Nyquist Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) intercom modules transform any low-impedance analog speaker into a full-featured Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) IP speaker. The modules use the latest technology to deliver superior audio quality, making them perfect for IP paging and audio distribution. The built-in talkback capability allows these modules to be used in VoIP intercom applications.

These 10W single-channel intercom modules are available with (NQ-GA10PV) or without (NQ-GA10P) an HDMI video output, depending upon the application needs. They also offer a CAN bus interface to work with the NQ-E7020 Digital Call Switch and a Form-C relay for controlling third-party devices (e.g., A/V override).

When paired with Bogen’s ANS500M microphone module (optional), and the Station Type configured as an Ambient Noise Sensor, the intercom module can be turned into an ambient noise sensor to help maintain paging and background music intelligibility in high-noise environments. Alternatively, the module can be paired with a Bogen DDU250 Dynamic Desktop Microphone, and the Station Type configured as a Push-to-Talk Microphone station, allowing it to perform a preconfigured zone page or All-Call page (including Emergency and Multi-Site). For details on configuring the Station Type, see “Managing Stations, Zones, and Queues” in the Nyquist System Administrator Guide.

If an HDMI video device is attached, this device can display messages and images sent by a Nyquist server, as well as a digital or analog clock. These messages can be used for scheduled announcements, emergency instructions, automatically triggered messages, simple ad-hoc messages, or many other purposes. If a Nyquist server is not present, the device will display an analog clock. For further information on displaying and scheduling messages, see the “Managing GA10PV Display Messages” section of the Nyquist System Administrator Guide.

The Nyquist server or System Controller can automatically discover and configure the VoIP intercom module, but you can also manage the device, and manually configure some settings, through the VoIP Intercom Module’s web-based user interface (web UI).

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.
