Problem Description:

After registering the TOA speaker horn to VI, model # TOA IP-A1SC15 Horn Speaker, I receive the red error notification on the device tree icon, and the audio doesn't work.


Answer

The default parameters for the TOA IP-A1SC15 speaker must be manually updated on VI.

 

Recommended Configuration

  1. Make sure you are on the latest version of VI

  2. Login into web GUI of the speaker and make sure that VMS Connection is enabled, under VMS Broadcasting

  3. Take note of the Control Port (default port: 9090)

  1. Go to the device settings of the speaker in VI (“Camera Setup” menu)

  2. Enable Alternate Ports

  3. Set the HTTP port to 9090 (or match the Control Port of the speaker) and leave the other ports as is

    • A static TOA image is displayed when selected

    • Audio works as expected
