Network information
To use RAV over a local area network (LAN), you need to know if the LAN uses Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or if you need a static IP address.
If the LAN uses DHCP, there is no need to make any network adjustments unless you want
to assign a static IP address.
If the LAN does not use DHCP, gather the following information prior to LAN setup:
• The IP address to be assigned to the RAV
• The subnet mask
• The IP address of the default gateway

Digital phones
If you have a digital (PBX) telephone service, you need to run an analog extension from the
PBX (recommended for best performance) or use a digital-to-analog telephone line
converter. For more information, contact ClearOne Technical Support.
Note: If you connect the RAV through a digital to analog line converter, you will not be able
to use the tabletop controller or the RAV-Ware dialing interface to make calls. You will instead
need to dial from the digital phone. The phone handset must be kept off hook for the
duration of the call.

Loudspeakers
Mixer
You can adjust your Bose loudspeaker equalization, change volume levels and enable
ClearEffect in the Loudspeaker Settings window. Equalization in RAV-Ware is similar to the
bass and treble adjustments on a stereo. Increasing or decreasing the low, mid and high
frequencies and levels allows you to customize loudspeaker audio and provide the optimal
listening experience for your users. When ClearEffect is enabled, it causes the audio coming
from the telephone line to emulate wideband audio. It does this by adding high and low
frequencies to the audio signal, creating a fuller sound.
The Mixer Console allows you to create audio mixes for the different outputs, adjust volume
levels and view the output meters. The audio inputs are shown along the left side of the window and the audio outputs are along the top.

Controller
Controller doesn't communicate to the mixer.
Unplug all components before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft,
damp cloth to clean the microphones and controller.
If storing for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.
Troubleshooting
Audio
No dial tone
Check that the RH-11 cable is connected to an analog line. Make sure the phone cable is
connected to the Line jack, not the Set jack. If you are connected to a digital line through a
telephone handset, take the handset off the hook. Run a system diagnostic check through
RAV-Ware to be sure all RAV components are working properly.
Be sure the frequency setting on the controller is the same as the frequency setting in RAVWare. Change the frequency for both to avoid frequency conflicts with other RAV systems.
Perform an RF radio test to verify the signal strength between the controller and the mixer.
The RAV Controller performs best when the RAV Mixer is positioned within line of sight
and with the antenna pointed up. Check the signal strength indicator in different areas of
the room to find the best possible operating location.The signal strength indicator is on the
LCD screen and the maximum number of bars is four.
For optimal RF connectivity, make sure the signal strength measures three or four bars in
the operating location. You can also use the RF Radio Test function on the controller for a
more detailed signal strength measurement.
To improve signal strength
• Verify that the mixer is within line of site
Rav does not ring
• Ensure the antenna is pointed up
Adjust the volume of the ringer. Check that the RH-11 cable is connected. Verify that the
dialed phone number is correct.
• Do not install the mixer in a metal cabinet
You can also purchase a remote mount antenna to improve the signal strength when the
mixer is located in a different room or an enclosed cabinet.
Muffled reception
Do not move the microphone pods while on a call. Move any items that might be blocking the
microphones. Speak closer to the microphones.
Cannot assign a speed dial number
Any phone numbers entered using the controller are automatically assigned a speed dial of
none. Access RAV-Ware to assign speed dial numbers
Far-end party cannot hear
Check the connections of all audio inputs. Check the Audio Mixer in RAV-Ware to make sure
the correct audio paths are selected. Adjust the volume of the audio outputs.
Short silences, echoes or clipped speech on the far end
Adjust the equalization in RAV-Ware for each component.
Adjust the volume. Watch the meters. Make sure the loudest audio causes the meters to just
enter the yellow zone.
Be sure equipment is placed correctly for the best sound performance. Refer to the chapter
one for basic room design guidelines.

Appendix— Serial Commands
Serial Commands
The RAV 600 and RAV 900 accept serial commands through the telnet, RS-232 serial port
or USB. The commands in this manual pertain only to the RAV 600 and RAV 900. RS-232
serial port protocol is 9,600, 19,200, 38,400 , 57,600 (default) or 115,200 baud; 8 bits, 1
stop bit, no parity.
Groups and channels
The following tables define the relationship between alpha and numeric representations. Text
commands use the alpha designation and binary commands use the numeric. In addition,
different groups have different allowable channel ranges.

Command structure
Commands can be either UPPER CASE or lower case. Also, extra spaces or tabs between
arguments in text commands are allowed. Return values are always in upper case. In order
for a command to be recognized by the serial port, the command must be terminated by a
carriage return.
The structure of serial commands is as follows: #TYPE DEVICE COMMAND [X] [X]
indicates the start of a command line
DEVICE
represents the device type and device number
COMMAND
is the command text
[X] [X]
represents any additional options in the order that they appear in the
command descriptions that follow
placed in the Type ID or Device ID fields, the command applies to all
units or all devices respectively.
Example
A command to disable automatic gain control for Mic 2 on a RAV 600 device “0” will have
the command line: #50 AGC 2 M 0. In this command line, 5=RAV 600, 0=unit 0,
AGC=command, 2=channel, M=Mic Input group, 0=off state. If a command calls for a
“null” value, leave a blank in the command line. For example, “#50 AGC 2 M” will return
the current AGC state of Mic 2 on device 50.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada ICES-003.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own
expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Part 68 Compliance
US:FBIBR00BRAV Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 0.0B(ac)
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules Requirements adopted by ACTA. On the
mixer unit of this equipment contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must be provided to your telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to the telephone line.
Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0).To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact
the telephone company to obtain the maximum RENs for the calling area. The REN for this product
is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by
## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g. 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in
