1.1.3. When simultaneously using the 24V DC power supply and the AC adapter  
When both the 24 V DC power supply and the AC adapter are simultaneously used, the AC adapter takes  
precedence. However, should power from the AC adapter be interrupted due to a power failure, etc., the  
power supply will automatically switch over to the unit's 24 V DC power source. Connecting a battery directly  
to the DC INPUT terminal also permits it to be used as backup power supply during a power failure.

Chapter 3: SYSTEM SETTINGS (NX-100 SETUP PROGRAM)  
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
1.1. What is the NX-100 Setup Program?  
This program is used to set all the NX-100 and NX-100S units connected to a LAN. It also provides a simple  
display on the PC screen of operating data for multiple NX-100 and NX-100S units connected to a LAN.  
Its main features are as follows:  
• Scans and displays all NX-100 and NX-100S units connected to a LAN.  
• Automatically sets IP addresses without duplication. Permits manual changes as well.  
• Permits simultaneous uploading of setting files to two or more NX-100 and NX-100S units.  
• Backs up setting files for two or more NX-100 and NX-100S units in a batch.  
• Easily and efficiently performs broadcast settings between units.  
Note  
When setting the unit connected to the Internet, refer to Chapter 4, System Settings (Setting Using Browser).  
1.2. About Network Settings  
Follow the instructions of the network management personnel before performing network settings for the PC  
and connected units. Incorrect settings may adversely influence other units connected to the same network.  
1.3. Backing-Up Setting Files  
Setting contents, once saved, are saved in the data folder located inside the Setup program's installation  
folder (Default path: C:\Program Files\TOA\NX-100) as a unit setting file. If uploaded, these files are stored in  
each NX-100 and NX-100S as unit setting files. It is highly recommended that all settings be backed up.  
Backing up settings to other locations on the PC hard drive or to external storage devices facilitates  
restoration should the NX-100, NX-100S or PC inadvertently fail. To save backup copies, copy the entire data  
folder located in the Setup program's installation folder.  
Caution  
When settings are changed, be sure to update the backup files as well.  
1.4. Cautions Concerning Setting Updates  
Never restart the NX-100 and NX-100S units nor turn off their power supply while updating* the setting  
contents.  
* The Status indicator on the unit's front panel flashes during an update.

· Whether or not multicast streaming can be used  
• Broadcast Pattern: Set the units to be connected in each broadcast pattern when activated by  
contact or the Operation program. (This setting not needed for units that will not  
be used in broadcast patterns.)  
• Contact:  
Set the broadcast pattern to be activated when a contact is received, and the  
contact output for other connected units. Also, set the operation to be  
performed when contact output is activated by other units.  
NX-100 only  
• Serial Bridge  
: Set the units to be connected and their serial ports when using the  
serial bridge function.  
(2) Saving Data Files  
Save the data folder located in the Setup program's installation folder to the PC's hard disk drive or a  
connected external storage device. Also be sure to save backup copies.  
(3) Unit Scanning (Network Setting)  
• After installing the system's Setup program on-site, copy the contents of the data folder saved in  
Step (2) above to the data folder.  
• After setting the network using the Unit Scanning Tool, upload the unit setting file using the System  
Setting Tool.  
Important  
When performing settings according to this procedure, the pre-programmed set system setting contents are  
erased if [Save in setting file format] is executed using the Unit Scanning Tool. To prevent this, take the  
following precautions:  
1. After completing settings using the System Setting Tool, copy and save the data folder under a  
different name.  
If a data folder copy is saved, even when [Save in setting file format] is selected, it is possible to write the  
unit setting file into the NX-100 and NX-100S after recopying the previously saved and renamed folder to  
the data folder.  
2. After performing settings using the Unit Scanning Tool, use the System Setting Tool only after  
uploading the settings, but without executing [Save in setting file format].  
This prevents the unit setting file in the data folder from being overwritten.

Important  
The [Save in setting file format] function is used to set broadcasts in the system settings after the unit scan is  
complete. Selecting [Save in setting file format] writes the setting contents into the data folder. The contents of  
the unit setting file include only the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, unit name, and Web server port  
number.  
When broadcast contents have previously been set and saved using the System Setting Tool, these earlier  
system settings will be erased if [Save in setting file format] is selected.  
If system setting has already been performed, take the following measures to prevent erasure of the setting  
contents:  
1. Upon completion of System Setting Tool settings, copy and save the data folder under a different  
name.  
If the data folder is copied, the unit setting file can be written into the NX-100 and the NX-100S after  
copying the renamed folder to the data folder, even when [Save in setting file format] is selected.  
2. After Unit Scanning Tool settings have been performed, use the System Setting Tool after  
uploading the settings, but without executing [Save in setting file format].  
This prevents the unit setting file in the data folder from being overwritten.

1. OUTLINE OF SETTING USING BROWSER  
Settings can also be changed without requiring installation of the dedicated NX-100 software by individually  
connecting to each NX-100/100S using the browser*.  
For NX-100/100S units connected by way of the NAT function, such as an access via internet, perform  
settings from the browser.  
* Browsers that ensure correct NX-100/100S operation:  
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 5.5, and Netscape 7  
Notes  
• Settings cannot be performed if the network is not correctly set. In particular, new units shipped from the  
factory may have duplicate default IP addresses or settings that assume the NX-100/100S is not connected  
to the same network as the PC.  
• Complete network settings before using the NX-100 Installation Setting program. If performing setup by the  
browser, disconnect the unit from the network and connect it directly to the PC's LAN port using a cross  
cable.  
• Should the power be switched off during setting changes, the unit may be damaged.  
• Changed settings are enabled after the NX-100/100S is restarted. Be sure to restart the unit whenever  
settings are changed. Broadcasts are stopped during unit restart.

Chapter 4: SYSTEM SETTINGS (SETTING USING BROWSER)  
(2) Information  
Indicates the delay time, bandwidth, and whether or not broadcasts are possible when broadcasts are  
made using values selected in the Broadcast Spec settings.  
[Delay]  
The delay time is the duration until an audio signal received at the NX-100 and NX-100S passes through  
the network and is broadcast by other connected NX-100 and NX-100S units.  
[Bandwidth]  
Indicates the bandwidth for voice streaming over the network. The bandwidth used is indicated in red if the  
setting exceeds the usable bandwidth set in the Navigator section.  
[Broadcasts possible with this spec]  
Broadcasts that are possible with the set Spec are marked with "OK", and those that are not possible are  
marked with "NG." The conditions under which broadcasts can be made are as follows:  
Transmission only (broadcasts from the original unit to other units):  
Broadcast signals can be sent to a connected unit if the transmission bandwidth is within the set  
bandwidth.  
Reception only (broadcasts from other units to the original unit):  
Broadcast signals can be received from a connected unit if the reception bandwidth is within the set  
bandwidth.  
Local broadcast (transmissions from the original unit's audio input to its audio output):  
Local broadcasts cannot be made if the transmission sampling frequency is set to 32 kHz.  
Multiple unicast streaming and Two-way:  
Cannot be performed when packet transmission intervals are short. Adjust the sampling frequency,  
compression, packet size, packet loss recovery and its level.  
(3) Audio Setting  
[Sampling Frequency]  
Select the transmission and reception sampling frequencies from [8], [16], and [32] kHz. Sound quality  
improves with higher sampling frequencies, however this makes the bandwidth wider.  
[Compression]  
Select [Yes] or [No]. To narrow the bandwidth of the network, it is highly recommended that compression  
be enabled.

(4) Network Relations  
[Packet Size]  
Select the size of audio packet.  
The packet size cannot be changed when [Resend] is selected in Packet Loss Recovery item. Smaller  
packet sizes result in a wider bandwidth, however delay times become shorter.  
[Packet Loss Recovery]  
Select one of three recovery methods used when an audio packet is lost: [Standard], [Error Correction],  
and [Resend]. Refer to p. 6-4 for details of each recovery method.  
In case [Error correction] is selected, the correction level can be changed, allowing selection from [1  
(Low)], [2], [3], and [4 (High)]. Higher settings increase correction capability, however delay times are also

5. BROADCAST PATTERN SETTING  
The broadcast pattern is determined by the combination of broadcast direction and the units targeted to  
receive or transmit the broadcast, and is set in the unit that initiates the broadcast. The pattern then starts the  
broadcast when a contact or program operation input is received. Local broadcasts which do not use the  
network or single stream broadcasts can also be set as broadcast patterns. (Target receiving unit: 1; Target  
unicast transmission unit: 1; Target multicast transmission units: 64)  
Create a new broadcast pattern by clicking on the Pattern Addition button, or select and edit a pattern which  
has already been programmed.

This operation program is used to set the control buttons used for broadcasts, and activate set NX-100 and  
NX-100S broadcast patterns*1 or operate the contact output*2.  
*1 The broadcast pattern is determined by the combination of the contents of the sound source and the units  
targeted to receive the broadcast. One target unit can be set for unicast streaming, and up to 64 units for  
multicast streaming. Only one pattern can be set per button.  
Note  
For more information concerning broadcast pattern settings, refer to Chapters 3 and 4.

5. SETTING PROCEDURES USING THE OPERATION PROGRAM  
Before performing the setting using the Operation program  
Set the NX-100 and NX-100S units in the system using the NX-100 Setup program.  
Broadcast settings that will be activated by the operation program must all be programmed into each  
connected unit as the "broadcast pattern."  
The NX-100 Setup program cannot be used to set NX-100 and NX-100S units connected  
via the Internet.  
If the system contains NX-100 and NX-100S  
units not set with the Setup program such as  
the units connected through the Internet.  
If only NX-100 and NX-100S units  
set with program are used.  
(1) Add the unit to the system.  
NX-100 and NX-100S units set with the Setup program as system units are automatically  
recognized as operable units by the NX-100 Operation program. NX-100 and NX-100S  
units which were set without using the NX-100 Setup program, such as the units  
connected through the Internet, can be added to the system setting using the NX-100  
Operation program.  
(2) Set the Button layaout.  
Edit the Button layout.  
Edit the layout of the Selection and Group buttons on the operation screen.  
(3) Set the Selection buttons.  
Set the Selection buttons that select the broadcast patterns or contact outputs to be activated.  
Use the broadcast patterns which were programmed into the operable units (those units set with the  
NX-100 Setup program and added in Step (1) above).  
Only one pattern can be programmed into each Selection button.  
When simultaneously activating two or more broadcast patterns with the Group button, all of the  
broadcast patterns to be activated must first be programmed into the Selection buttons.  
If simultaneously activating multiple  
broadcast patterns  
(4) Set the Group buttons.  
Use the Group button when wishing to simultaneously activate two or more broadcast patterns. Select  
and assign the desired Selection buttons to each Group button.

6. UNIT SETTING ADDITION  
Set the broadcast pattern data necessary for the Selection button setting using the NX-100 Setup program  
(refer to Chapter 3). If a unit setting file has already been created, the data is automatically loaded. However,  
NX-100 and NX-100S units which are connected through the Internet and cannot be set with the NX-100  
Setup program must be added using the Operation program. In order to activate the NX-100 and NX-100S  
broadcast patterns set using a browser (refer to Chapter 4), add the unit setting using the following procedure:  
Step 1. Turn on the power to the NX-100 and NX-100S units for which the unit setting is to be added to make  
connections possible.  
Step 2. Start up the Operation program and select Setting Unit settings.  
The User Authentication screen is then displayed.  
Step 3. Enter the system name and the password (the same password used in the setup program), then  
press the OK button.  
Notes  
• Both the system name and the password are case-sensitive.  
• The default system name is preset to "NX-100" and the password to "guest" when the unit is  
shipped from the factory. To change, refer to p. 3-31 or p. 4-28.  
The Unit Settings window is displayed if the system name and the password are correctly entered.  
Note  
In the initial startup mode, nothing is displayed in the Name, IP Address, Web, TCP and UDP  
columns.

1. EXPLANATION  
1.1. IP Network and Address  
The IP networks the NX-100 and NX-100S can use include Local Area Networks (LAN) used in small-scale  
areas, such as within or on the premises of a company, and the Internet, which covers a wide area over  
remote distances.  
Router

NX-100/100S  
(C)  
NX-100/100S  
(A)  
NX-100/100S  
(B)  
LAN  
LANs differ from the Internet in the IP address to be used.  
Local IP address (private IP address): This address is used and can be freely set within the LAN.  
Global IP address:  
This is the only address that is used to access the Internet.  
To use the NX-100 and NX-100S units through the Internet, fixed  
global IP addresses must be acquired and assigned to them or the  
router if it is used.  
When a connection is made from Unit B to Unit A in the figure, the local address can be used. However, when  
a connection is made from Unit C to Unit A, the global IP address must be used.  
The fixed global IP address must be assigned to the units connected via the Internet.  
When selecting an NX-100 or NX-100S which is connected through the Internet as the "target connection unit"  
for a broadcast pattern, contact or serial bridge* in NX-100 or NX-100S unit setting, the fixed global IP  
address must be designated.  
Consult with network management personnel or the ISP (Internet service provider) concerning the acquisition  
of a fixed global IP address.  
* The serial bridge function is valid only for the NX-100.

Chapter 6: APPENDIX  
1.2. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Setup Software Programs  
Because the Internet cannot be accessed using the local IP address, the local IP address must be converted  
into the global IP address by means of Network Address Translation (NAT).  
Router 1  
Router 2

NX-100/100S  
(C)  
NX-100/100S

NX-100/100S  
(B)  
LAN  
Connections can be made from Unit C to Unit A using the global IP address. The global IP address used for  
the connection is converted into the local address for Unit A by Router 1.  
Note that the NX-100 Setup program is not designed to enable the NAT function. Use a browser to select  
units connected by way of the NAT as the target connection unit for the broadcast pattern, contact or serial  
bridge* in the NX-100 and NX-100S unit settings.  
* The serial bridge function is valid only for the NX-100.  
1.3. IP Broadcast and Unit Scan  
The IP broadcast communication method is used to scan the units connected to the network. Units can only  
be scanned within the effective range of the IP broadcast.  
The address to be used is 255.255.255.255.

IP broadcast does not reach beyond the router covering range even in the LAN.  
In the above figure, NET1 represents the LAN and NET2 represents the effective range for IP broadcast. For  
example, if the PC is used to scan the units in the figure, Unit C cannot be scanned even though it is located  
within the same LAN.  
Note  
Follow the instructions of the network management personnel for the effective range of the IP broadcast.

Chapter 6: APPENDIX  
1.4. Multicast and Simultaneous Multiple Broadcasts  
The multicast communication method can be utilized to make simultaneous broadcasts to two or more units.  
The advantage of multicast operation is the possibility of decreasing traffic. Networks that use multicast  
communication need to be supported by multicast addresses and Internet Group Management Protocol  
(IGMP). The effective multicast address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 238.255.255.255.  
Note  
Follow the instructions of the network management personnel for the effective range of the broadcast.  
1.5. Packet Loss Recovery  
The NX-100 and NX-100S convert audio data into IP packets to carry out communications. According to the  
condition of the network to be used, packets may be lost, deteriorating sound quality. The NX-100 and NX-  
100S offer the following 3 different selection modes for recovering such lost packets.  
Standard:  
Corrects for lost packets with a silent gap. This method helps reduce delay times and  
bandwidth, and is appropriate for applications that emphasize real-time operability. However,  
it is not well-suited to networks in which many packet losses may occur, because the good  
sound quality cannot be maintained.  
Error Correction: Recovers lost packets with redundant data. Since only short-time losses can be corrected,  
this method is not appropriate for networks in which many packet losses may occur. It is,  
however, appropriate for applications that require high sound quality, such as LAN, which  
have lower chances of packet loss.  
Resend:  
Corrects by automatically resending lost packets. All packet losses that occur within the  
preset delay time can be corrected. High sound quality can be maintained even on such  
networks as the Internet, which may generate many packet losses. This method, however, is  
not well-suited to applications that emphasize real-time operability, because of longer delay  
times.

Note: Numbers represent level of advantage in the order of 1, 2, 3.  
1.6. Contact OFF Delay Time  
Depending on the packet loss recovery setting, delay times may be generated in broadcasts.  
Long delay times do not take place in the contact bridge function. Therefore, if the contact is set so that it  
becomes OFF when broadcasts are terminated, the contact may be turned OFF before broadcast completion.  
To leave the contact ON until broadcast completion, the contact OFF delay time of the NX-100 or NX-100S  
that provides contact output needs to be set to be longer than the broadcast delay time in the contact setting.  
(The broadcast delay time is displayed on the Broadcast Spec setting screen.)  
1.7. Sampling Frequency Correction  
Synchronizes all NX-100 and NX-100S operation clocks in the system.  
Unless the operation clocks are all synchronized, sound losses can occur in broadcasts that last more than 2  
minutes. For example, to realize sampling frequency (fs) correction between units connected to Networks A  
and B, perform fs correction data transmission setting for any one of the NX-100 and NX-100S units  
connected to Network A. Set the target transmission unit of the correction data to the Network B router IP  
address. Set the sampling frequency reception for any one of the NX-100 and NX-100S units connected to  
Network B. Add the address translation of the unit set to receive the correction data to the Network B router.  
Note, however, that this setting is not needed when limited to use within the LAN*, because the sampling  
frequency is automatically corrected.

Ensure each connection to the network equipment.  
Packet collision occurrence  
The NX-100/100S and the connected network equipment  
are in half-duplex communications, and collision occurs.  
This may cause intermittent sound when audio signals are  
transmitted.  
It is preferable to use the NX-100/100S in full-duplex
