Applies to: IP Audio devices in WAVE
Summary:
This guide is meant to walk you through the configuration steps needed to use the IPAS (IP Audio System) devices for event to action in the WAVE VMS.
Step By Step Guide:
General Guidelines:
-
Confirm you are using the latest firmware for the IPAS devices. The firmware can be found at the Product Portal page
- If you are running old/beta firmware perform a factory reset after a firmware update
- Ensure you have two IPAS devices available.
IPAS Controller Mode Device Configuration
- Set one IPAS device to controller mode and follow the next steps on that controller. (Figure 1)
Figure 1
- Register your IPAS devices to the controller. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
- Register one of your IPAS devices as a source and ensure you check “CTRL”. (Figures 3 & 4)
Figure 3
Figure 4
- Register a zone(s) for your IPAS devices. (Figure 5)
Figure 5
- If you wish to play audio on multiple IPAS devices you must now create a group. (Figure 6)

SUNAPI Commands (Controller)
- To determine your device ID's, open your web browser and send the "view registered subdevices" command to the IPAS controller. The output is shown in (Figure 9)
NOTE: The IP addresses in the commands below are examples only. Substitute the IP shown below
for the IP of your device.

- If you plan to play audio to a group of speakers, you need to determine the group ID. You can accomplish this by sending the "view speaker groups" command. The output is shown in (Figure 10)
