Introduction

Welcometo theworldofall-digitalmedianetworking. Ifyou’realreadyfamiliarwithaudioShare®

installation, go to the Quick Start Checklist to remind you of the installation steps. If not, we

recommend that you read through this entire manual before attempting to install an audioShare®

system.

audioShare®isthefirsttrulynetworked,direct-dialall-masteraudio(voiceandmusic)networkand

home automation control system. As such, it is probably unfamiliar to most installers so a brief

tutorial is in order.

Power, data and media buses are distributed to all units via Cat. 5 (or better) wiring. Although

standardEthernetwiringandRJ45connectorsareused,audioShare®usesaproprietarynetworking

scheme that is NOTCOMPATIBLEwith Ethernet. However, there is an Ethernet adapter which

will be described later. Power (50 VDC) is supplied between pins 4 and 5 of all RJ45 connectors.

Design precautions have been taken to prevent damage in case of mis-wiring. For example, the 50

VDC power is protected against accidental reverse wiring of pins 4 and 5. Additionally, data and

media buses are similarly protected. If the RJ45 wiring is backwards to standard, the worst that can

happen is the offending unit will not work properly. However, if wiring is completely wrong,

serious damage can occur. Please follow the wiring diagram carefully (see RJ45 Wiring on page

21) and test each run with a standard Ethernet cable tester before applying power to the system.

The system is further protected against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) at each station by several

semiconductor devices which are grounded via pin 4 (blue wire) of the Cat 5 back to the system

power supply. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to ensure that the system power supply is

properly grounded to the electrical system as called out in the National Electrical Code (NEC).

However,in ordertopreventground loopswhichcreate humin anyaudiosystemitisalso necessary

to make sure that no other grounding occurs in the system other than at the system power supply.

A completely digital system has many advantages, not only for the end user, but for the installer as

well. System software is updated as new features are added. This can be done by either the user or

the installer and is accomplished quickly and easily, by way of a laptop computer, on all wall

stations or on all door stations simultaneously within a matter of minutes (see System

Configuration on page 23). With the Ethernet adapter, this can even be done from anywhere in

the world where an Internet connection is available (assuming the home owner also has access to

theInternet). Also,diagnosticsoftware is provided toaidintroubleshooting. Thissoftwareenables

factory technical support personnel to help in locating problems if necessary (contact Tech

Support).

Becauseeverywall station in an audioShare®systemisa master,itismuchthe same as a telephone

system in that each station has its own unique number or “address”. This allows for station-to-

station (point-to-point), multiple station or all-station calling without having to go through a

audioShare Installation Guide v03r02-090408.wpd 6

centrally located “master” unit. It also allows for remote control of any station from any other

station. This means that the users don’t even have to be in the same room as the station on which

they want to change the settings.

For a complete list of audioShare®features, please refer to the User Guide. The latest version of

the User Guide can be downloaded in pdf format from our website at www.audioshare.net under

the Support tab.

SYSTEM PLANNING

Before installation begins, in fact, before the wiring phase of construction even begins, we

recommend that you plan where each type of unit will be installed. This will greatly simplify the

system configuration after installation. Appendix C is a Location Worksheet that will help

identify where each unit is placed in the home along withother pertinent information needed during

the configuration process. Make additional photo copies as needed. A complete list of units is

found in the audioShare®User Guide.

Station Placement

Refer to Wiring Informationon pages 18-20 to become familiar with the many wiring topologies

allowed in an audioShare®system. Work with the home owner (if applicable) and decide where

best to locate each unit. Keep in mind the industry’s “ten-foot” rule, i.e., do not locate any two wall

stations within 10 feet of each other when mounting on opposite sides of the same wall. We also

recommend that wall stations be separated as much as possible in areas where there are no sound

barrier walls between them. We recommend that stations be mounted between 51 and 53 inches

abovefloorlevel,justbelowaverageeye-levelformostusers. Takeintoaccountpossibleplacement

of furniture and fixtures. RCA wall plates should be placed near where night tables will most likely

be used so that portable music sources (iPods and other MP3 players, etc.) can be connected with

minimal cord length.

Forinstallationindamporsteamybathroom,shower,laundry,indoorpoolorJacuzzirooms,choose

locations with minimum exposure to moisture. Never install in saunas or rooms where the

temperature can exceed 95OF.

Station Addresses

Use a logical station (address) numbering system, one that will be easy for the users to remember.

Since there are up to 200 addresses available, you can assign stations on the first floor of the home,

for example, to numbers from 10 through 19, the second floor from 20 through 29, etc. Or break

the home up into zones such as all bedrooms in one zone, livingroom, dining room and kitchen in

another zone, den and office in another zone, etc.; whatever works best for the users.

Doorstations useDIPswitches todeterminetheiraddressesfrom240through 247. Thedoorstation

locationsare basedontheiraddress. Thedoorstation location will be displayed on all wall stations’

LCD screens whenever the door chime is activated. Of course, each door station can also have its

own unique chime sound, but since the user may choose not to have a different sound, the LCD

screen on each wall station will allow them to identify the door in question. See Door Stations

on pages 25-27 for details.
