Compatible Williams Sound receivers include PPA R38, PPA R37, PPA R35-8 body packs and the PPA R1600 remote speaker.Developed for hearing assistance in places of public access, the PPA T45 is designed for those who need help overcoming background noise, reverberation, or distance from the sound source. It includes a complete audio processor optimized for the needs of hearing impaired persons and is easily integrated with your existing sound system. The PPA T45 can also be used with a microphone as a stand-alone system. Your PPA T45 transmitter operates just like an FM radio station. The transmitter takes audio directly from a microphone or sound system. This audio is then broadcast over an FM radio signal. FM radios can be worn by listeners or AC powered amplied speaker with built in receiver can be utilized as needed. The broadcast can be received up to 1000 ft from the transmitter *. This allows listeners to sit anywhere in the area and listen to the broadcast at the level they need without disturbing others around them.Two models are available - one with Ethernet control (PPA T45NET) and one without Ethernet control (PPA T45). Ethernet control allows the transmitter settings to be changed over a network with hard-wired or wireless devices (Figure 1).*Range is dependent on the environment.Figure 1: Typical System Example

This may result in damage to your system. The sound source should come directly from the system mixer or digital source as a low-level or unprocessed signal. IMPORTANT: When a suitable audio source has been determined, you MUST congure the audio source in the menu of the T45 before plugging that source in. Figure 2: PPA T45NET Rear View

Additional channels can be accommodated by adding a resistor for each source. Necessary resistors can be obtained from Williams Sound (Part Number RFC 472) or from any local electronics parts supplier. See Figure 3.Selecting an Audio source Appropriate for Hearing Impaired ListenersIf the T45 is going to be used specically for the accommodation of hearing impaired listeners, we recommend following these general guidelines:The PPA T45 transmits audio with excellent delity. Therefore, the audio source signal should be of the highest audio quality and not subject to a compressor, limiter, reverberation, or other signal processing equipment. The T45 has a very effective DSP audio processor. If compression is desired in the audio, refer to page 17-18 for features and controls. Excessive compression is not helpful to the hearing impaired and can contribute to excessive noise in the receiver outputs.The T45 audio source signal is usually connected to a mixer’s “line output” signal which is behind the mixer’s parametric equalizers but ahead of any equalization used for house loudspeakers.If audio delay is available for use in large auditoriums, it’s usually best to use it. Because radio signals travel faster than sound, delaying the transmitted audio so that an average listener (in the middle of the listening area) hears the transmitted audio a few milliseconds after audio from the main sound reinforcement system speaker is helpful. This will also help audience members who lip read.
7Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterAvoiding Hum in the Audio (as a Result of a Ground Loop)A hum created by a ground loop can often be eliminated by connecting a capacitor in series with the audio line shield to the transmitter’s ground. This method also maintains good RF shielding. Determining the effectiveness of this method for your installation usually requires some experimentation. Necessary capacitors can be obtained from Williams Sound or from any electronic parts supplier. See Figure 4.IN PHASE1 233-PINCONNECTORBREAKING A GROUND LOOP WHEN CONNECTING TO A UNBALANCED LINEBREAKING A GROUND LOOP WHEN CONNECTING TO A BALANCED LINE.01 uF CERAMIC DISC CAPACITOR .01 uF CERAMICDISC CAPACITORA110Figure 4: Connecting to a Balance/Unbalanced LineNOTE: If the T45 is going to be rack mounted, you will not be able to install the ANT 025 whip antenna. For rack mounting, consider installing a remote antenna like the ANT 005 or ANT 024 - these antennas require using the Remote Antenna Coaxial Jack (above) and a long length of terminated coaxial cable. Another option is to mount the antenna on the rack itself - consider the ANT 029 which includes a 1RU bracket and a 3ft terminated coaxial cable. For a full list of antenna options, please go to our website www.williamssound.com and view the Antenna Application Guide under “Products - Accessories - Antennas”.Installing the ANT 025 Whip AntennaGently thread the ANT 025 onto the stud recessed in the hole on the top of the transmitter.

The combination jack accepts either XLR or 1/4”. This source must be congured in the menu before plugging the source into the jack.The RCA Audio Line Output jack can be used for monitoring, recording, or routing processed audio to another sound system.The XLR Digital Line Input can be used with the output of a digital mixer or digital audio source. The RCA S/PDIF Digital Line Input jack can be used with a device that has an RCA Digital Audio Out (also referred to as “Coaxial Digital Audio” from consumer electronic devices. The processors inside the T45 convert the digital bitstream into useable audio.The Remote Antenna Connection can be used to connect a remote antenna to the T45 when the whip antenna won’t be used (as in the case of rack-mounting). See the Williams Sound Antenna Guide for a full range of antenna and mounting options. It is recommended to use RG-6 Quad-Shielded coaxial cable for best sheilding against RF interference.The Ethernet Jack can be used to connect the T45 to either (1) a network or (2) directly to a single computer. Both options use a standard ethernet cable. A crossover cable is not required to connect the T45 directly to a computer, because an internal MUX senses the device that is connected and crosses the pins automatically.
9Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterPower ButtonPush-button switch turns the transmitter on or off. The desktop power supply provides power to the unit at all times. (Figure 7)OLED DisplayThis shows current operation settings and is also used with the menu control buttons for conguring the T45. Each time the power of the unit is turned on, the OLED Display shows a “Williams Sound” start-up screen (Figure 8). After seven seconds, the “RF” (On-Air) LED will illuminate and the default Main Info Screen screen will be displayed. The T45 is now fully operational. If the “RF” (On-Air) indicator does not illuminate, go back and double-check the connections. Make sure the power supply is properly installed, and the power button is in the “on” position. (Figure 7)(NOTE: If the transmitter is not fully functional, the transmitter will attempt to auto-recover by rebooting itself.)Audio Input Level IndicatorThe bar graph indicator shows audio level in 3dB steps at the input of the audio level processing circuit. The indicator is peak responding and is calibrated so that optimum level is reached when the 0dB LED generally lights and +9dB only lights occasionally. Use the Audio Level settings in the menu to set the audio levels. (Figure 7)Input Overload IndicatorThe OLED Display shows an overload warning screen each time the audio signal exceeds the capacity of the input circuit. Either (1) the source of the audio coming in to the T45 needs to be adjusted to correct this or (2) the Audio Input Gain needs to be adjusted. (Figure 7)RF Indicator (On Air)Indicates when radio frequency is transmitting. (Figure 7)Hot Buttons / Menu Controls• While the transmitter is displaying the Main Info Screen (Figure 8), the Up “^” and Down “v” buttons adjust the Audio Input Gain; while the Left “<” and Right “>” buttons change the Channel. This immediate adjustment capability is referred to as “Hot Buttons”. • The Menu button is a Enter/Exit menu function only. It does not “select” anything within the menu. It allows the user to quickly return to the Main Info Screen from any place in the menu.• While the transmitter is displaying the Menu on the screen: • The Up “^” button navigates upward in the menu or increases a setting (i.e. if adjusting Headphone Volume, increases the volume).

11Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterGeneral Setup Instructions1. Position the PPA T45 transmitter near the sound system or mixer from which it will receive audio. It should be free from metallic objects that might interfere with the antenna signal. 2. If the transmitter is free-standing (not rack-mounted), install the ANT 025 whip antenna. Gently thread the ANT 025 onto the stud recessed in the hole on the top of the transmitter (Figure 2) and extend it all the way. The transmitter can be rack-mounted (1RU) with the optional RPK 005 Rack Mount Kit - in this case the whip antenna cannot be used; instead use the rear “RF 75Ω ANT” coaxial jack for remote antenna mounting with a coaxial cable (Figure 5). 3. Connect the power supply to the Power Supply connector (Figure 2, page 5) located on the back of the T45. Press in the power button on the front of the T45. The power button should light up, and the “RF” green LED indicator should illuminate. If not, go back and check the power connections.4. Choose and congure the audio source. The audio source must be congured in the menu before plugging the source into the jack. Push the Menu button and push the “>” button once to display “AUDIO SOURCE” on the screen. Push the “>” button to access the audio sources. Using the “^” or “v” menu buttons (Figure 2), choose between “ANALOG LINE IN”, “MIC”, “PHANTOM MIC +12V”, “DIGITAL AES/EBU”, or “DIGITAL S/PDIF”. When the desired audio source is displayed, it is active, so press the Menu button to exit the menu (Figure 7). 5. Push the power button to turn the unit off. (Figure 7)6. Connect the audio source to the audio input jack on the rear of the T45 (the jack that was chosen in step 4). (Figures 2, 6)7. Push the power button to turn the unit on. (Figure 7)8. With the audio source playing, adjust the Audio Level on the T45 so that the green “0 dB” LED generally lights and the red “+9 dB” LED lights occasionally. To do this, use the Hot Buttons while on the main info screen. Press the “^” button to increase the audio level in 1.0 dB steps, or press the “v” button to decrease the audio level in 1.0 dB steps.9. Select an Audio Preset. The T45 has three pre-congured Audio Presets to choose from: Hearing Assist, Music, and Voice. A Custom preset is also available. The performance of the T45 is optimized for each of the pre-congured Audio Presets. Using the menu and control buttons on the front of the T45 (Figure 7), push the Menu button, the display will change to show “Audio Settings”. Use the forward “>” button to display “Audio Source” in the selection box. Push the down “v” button twice to show “Audio Presets”. Now press the “>” button to display the list of Presets. Use the “^” and “v” buttons to alternate between “Hearing Assist”, “Music”, “Voice” and “Custom” selections. When the desired Audio Preset is displayed, it is active, so press the Menu button to exit the menu, or, if “Custom” is desired, push the “>” button to enter the custom settings.10. Set the Transmitter Channel. The T45 is shipped from the factory with the channel/frequency set to Ch.1 (72.1 MHz). To change the channel/frequency, whille on the main info screen, use the hot buttons “<” and “>” to change channels. (Figure 7)11. Listen with an FM receiver (see pages 20-21 for compatible Williams Sound receivers). Install the batteries, plug in the earphone, turn on the receiver, choose the correct channel and walk around the listening area. The signal should be clear and quite loud when the volume is turned up. IMPORTANT: The FM receiver being used with the T45 transmitter will need to be on the same channel/frequency as the transmitter. NOTE: FCC regulations, section 15.21, requires the user to comply with the rules of transmitter operation. Any changes or modications made by the user not expressly approved for compliance may result in the loss of all privileges and authority to operate the equipment.

AUDIO SETTINGSThe Audio Settings provide the ability to change the audio characteristics for different listening applications, choose the input source, adjust the input level, choose the audio to be monitored by the headphone, and adjust the headphone volume. 1a. Audio PresetsThe Audio Presets allow the user to quickly and easily congure the T45 for common applications. In some cases, the Audio Presets may be the only setup needed for properly conguring the T45 transmitter.There are three pre-congured and one custom Audio Preset to choose from: Hearing Assist, Music, Voice and Custom. When one of these selections is made, the performance of the T45 is immediately optimized for the needs of that application (an adjustment is automatically made to the Low-Pass Filter, High Pass Filter, and Compression). Refer to the chart below (Figure 13) for a comparison of the Audio Preset congurations.RF Output = Full PowerParameters: Hearing Assist Music VoiceLow Pass Filter 8.0 kHz 16 kHz 6.3 kHzHigh Pass Filter 500 Hz 31 Hz 125 HzCompression Ratio 2:1 1:1 1:1ADD-ON MODULESECURITYIP ADDRESS MODESTATUS? “Net Activity:Detected”“DHCP Status: Client”“IP Address: 192.168.1.5”PASSWORDDHCPSTATICFigure 12: Front-screen Menu Tree (continued)Figure 13: Audio Preset Conguration TableIMPORTANT: Listen to the transmitted audio through the headphone jack, especially when deciding on an appropriate high pass lter. This is a good way to ensure the listening audience is going to receive the highest audio quality.

For music, concerts, and other applications where the highest audio quality is desirable, Music is the recommended mode of operation. For hearing assistance applications, or applications where the message is critical for listening, Hearing Assist is the recommended mode of operation. For speaking and other voice applications, Voice is the preferred mode of operation. If the three preset congurations do not meet the needs of the venue, the Custom audio preset can be used. The custom preset allows the user to adjust the High-Pass Filter cutoff frequency, Low-Pass Filter cutoff frequency, and choose the Compression Ratio. If the audio preset is changed from Custom to Music, Hearing Assist, or Voice, the Custom settings are overwritten.High Pass FilterA High Pass Filter cuts off low frequencies and lets high frequencies “pass” through. The frequency chosen is the point where the cutoff takes effect. The high pass lter will help to remove low frequency “noise” from the transmitted audio signal, such as room noise, a line hum, or breath accents picked up from an improperly installed microphone. Low Pass FilterA Low Pass Filter cuts off high frequencies and lets low frequencies “pass” through. The frequency chosen is the point where the cutoff takes effect. The low pass lter will help to remove high frequency “noise” from the transmitted audio signal, such as hiss in the audio line as a result of room noise, speech sibilants, or other high frequency unpleasantries. CompressionCompression reduces the dynamic range of the audio (volume difference between loud and soft sounds). It is typically used for voice and hearing assistance applications - for a listener who has difculty hearing the quiet sounds of an audio broadcast, compression boosts the quiet sounds to louder listening levels. For listening to music programs, concerts, etc., lower compression ratios or no compression is generally used. The T45 has three selectable modes of compression: 1:1 (compression off), 1.5:1 (low compression) or 2:1 (high compression). For applications such as music and voice, where high audio quality is desirable, 1:1 is the recommended mode of operation. For hearing assistance or applications where the transmitted message is critical for listening, 1.5:1 or 2:1 is recommended. NOTE: The T45 is shipped from the factory at a 1:1 compression ratio (no compression). NOTE: The manager of the T45 needs to take care in using compression, because some hearing impaired people cannot tolerate as loud of a sound as those with normal hearing. To select a precongured Audio Preset:1. Press the Menu button. The display will show “AUDIO SETTINGS” in the selection box.2. Press the “>” button to display “AUDIO PRESETS” on the screen.3. Press the “>” button to access the Audio Presets. The currently selected preset is shown in the selection box.4. Press the “^” or “v” menu buttons to select either “VOICE”, “MUSIC”, “HEARING ASSIST” or “CUSTOM” audio. Note that the setting changes live, it does not need to be “selected” with another button. The setting displayed in the selection box is the one that is active. Refer to the Conguration Table in Figure 11 for details about each preset.5. When the desired Audio Preset is selected, press the Menu button to exit the menu and return to the main info screen.No additional action is necessary. If no buttons are pressed, after 5 minutes the OLED will return to the Main Info Screen, then after another 5 minutes show a screen saver, then go blank (the time between the screen saver and blank screen is adjustable).

If using a dynamic IP Address, skip to step 4.a. If someone set up your network, they may be able to help you determine an appropriate IP address (i.e. network system administrator). b. There should be no other device having this same address on the network. c. This will be an address on the same subnet as the router.d. For example, if the router’s address is 192.168.1.1, the rst three sets of numbers will be the same (i.e. 192.168.1), and the last number will be the number you determine for the T45 (i.e. .100), making your IP address for the T45 “192.168.1.100”. When you determine this address, remember or write it down. You will need it for a later step.3. Set the IP Address for the T45 by using the controls on the front of the T45.a. Set the IP Address Mode to “STATIC” (not “DYNAMIC”).b. Enter the IP Address you determined in step 2.c. All settings in the T45 take place immediately (they change “live”). Exit the settings menu.4. Connect to the T45 with the Laptop or Desktop PC.a. Open the web browser on the Laptop or Desktop PC.b. In the address bar, type in the address of the T45 (from step 2) and hit “Enter”.c. You should see the Home Page of the T45 (see Figure 15 on page 28).5. Verify control of the T45 by changing a setting using the computer, and watching it change on the T45 display.a. An easy setting to verify is changing the channel (see Figure 18 page 29).6. For easy access next time, build a “favorite” link to the T45 (just like you would for a favorite website). a. If you can’t make a link, you can always go back to the IP address (step 2) by going into the website history or typing in the rst few numbers of the address (i.e. “192.168”) into the address bar and it should see the link you recently visited. This method is cumbersome, which is why a “favorite” link is suggested.Note: The procedure outlined here is a simple example of the basic steps required to set up control of the transmitter with a hard-wired computer. Existing network topology, security, type of devices and network preferences all contribute to how the network may be set up. Consult with a trained IT professional if you are unsure how you should set up network control.
26Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterNetwork Setup for Wireless Devices (iPad, Android Tablet, or Smart Phone)The PPA T45NET provides a web interface (set of web pages) to manage the transmitter settings. These web pages can be accessed over an ethernet network, either hard-wired (through a laptop or desktop PC) or wireless (through an iPad, Android tablet, or smart phone). The web pages can be accessed with most internet browsers, like any website. All of the settings that can be changed on the transmitter can be accessed and changed through the front panel controls - or the web pages. Note that the web pages have a different look and feel than the front panel menu tree. 1. Get the Router IP address, Router SSID (Wi-Fi broadcasted name) and Router Wi-Fi Password.a. If someone set up your network, you will need to get this information from them (i.e. network system administrator). Remember or write them down. You will need these for later steps. 2.

36Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterTroubleshootingThe T45 “RF” (On Air) Indicator is not on• Make sure the transformer (TFP 048) is plugged into the transmitter and any remote power switch is on.• Make sure the electrical outlet is on.• Make sure the power button on the front of the T45 is pressed to the “on” position.• Make sure the 24 VDC power supply is working.• Make sure the RF output is not set to “OFF.” No Audio heard in Phones jack • Check to see if there is a signal coming from your audio source. Check and correct your audio source if necessary.• Check to see if the Headphone Volume Level has been turned all the way down. If so, increase it.• Check to see if there is an incorrect or defective connection from your audio source. See page 7 for detailed connection instructions.Noise or Distortion in the Audio• Check to see if there is noise in the audio source. To nd out, disconnect the audio cable. If the noise disappears your noise problem is in the source. Correct or repair your audio source.• Perhaps the Audio Source control is not set to match your audio source input device. See page 15 to properly congure the Audio Source control menu.• Check to see if the Audio Input level is set too high. If the “input overload” is illuminated, then the audio level needs to be adjusted. See page 10.• Check for ground loops or noise on the input signal. See page 9 for more information. Call your Authorized Williams Sound dealer or representative.Noise in audio “grows” when program is silent• The Audio Level Control may be set too high. You’re probably also seeing the +6 level indicator lighting all the time. To correct, adjust the Audio Level control on the front of the T45. See page 10.• It could be that the T45 Audio Processor is set for Normal Compression, which may be inappropriate for the type of program being transmitted. Reset the Compressor Gain control to off. See page 17.• It could be that the T45 Compressor Slope ratio is set to 2:1, which may be inappropriate for the type of program being transmitted. Reset the Compression Slope control to 1:1. See page 16.Reception (at receiver) difcultiesNOTE: Be sure to listen to the audio transmission on the T45 phone jack prior to checking the receiver reception.No Reception • Check to see if the antenna on the T45 has been disconnected. If so, attach the antenna correctly.• Check to see if the RF output power on the T45 is set to “OFF.” If so, reset the RF Output control to FULL, MEDIUM or LOW power. See page 18.• Make sure the FM receiver is ON. Make sure the batteries are properly installed (observing proper polarity). If the batteries are rechargeable, it may be necessary to charge the batteries overnight.• Make sure the FM receiver is operating on the same frequency as the T45. Make sure the receiver is operating on the same bandwidth as the T45: Wideband or Narrowband. Follow tuning instruction for the receiver and adjust accordingly.
37Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterInsufcient range, good reception near transmitter, poor at a distance• Check to see if the transmitting antenna was installed as specied in this manual. If not, correct or replace the antenna. The signal should be clearly audible up to at least a 100-foot distance with the ANT 005 or ANT 025. • Make sure the transmitting antenna is not in an unsuitable location. Perhaps the transmitting antenna was installed inside a metal enclosure or is separated from the reception area by electrically conducting objects. (i.e., steel stud walls, heating ducts, substantial structural steel, or 2x2 or 2x4 ceiling grid.) In either case, reinstall the antenna according to installation instructions, locating it outside metal enclosures and away from electrically conducting objects.• Perhaps there is a strong interfering signal. If so, make sure the transmitter and antenna are correctly installed. Set the transmitter to FULL power output. If this does not solve the problem, try operating the transmitter on a different channel/frequency. Users must turn receiver volume controls way up (to 4 or 5) to get enough volume• Perhaps there is insufcient audio level. If so, the audio level indicator will read too low because the audio level control is set incorrectly on the transmitter. Correct the Audio Level control setting. See page 10.• It could be that the audio input is not congured for the audio source being used. If not, correct the setting of the Audio Source control menu. See page 15.• Some users may not be helped by this system. Severe hearing loss may require using the system with a telecoil coupler (i.e., Neckloop) and personal hearing aid.• Check your batteries. For non-rechargeable (alkaline) batteries, they may need replaced. If you are using rechargeable batteries, make sure the batteries are fully charged prior to use. Users complain of too much noise during soft audio. Dynamic range of music reduced too greatly.• Check to see if the Audio Level control is set too high. This problem is more likely to occur in 2:1 or 1.5:1 Compression modes, but can also occur in 1:1 Compression mode. To reduce the noise, adjust the Audio Level, carefully noting the Level Indicator. The +6 LED should light occasionally.• The transmitter could be set for High Compression (2:1) when Reduced Compression (1.5:1) or No Compression (1:1) would be more suitable, given the program material. If so, set the Compression Ratio to 1.5:1 or 1:1 and see if this reduces the noise. See page 17.Buzz in other equipment when transmitter is on or off• This is not an RF problem. Instead, it is likely caused by incorrect audio connections, a ground loop, or defective equipment. To remedy, use proper audio wiring practice to make connections described on page 8.Buzz or other noise in equipment only when transmitter is on• This is likely an RF–induced disturbance in the other equipment. To remedy, try these steps in order until the buzz is eliminated:1. Make certain the transmitter chassis is connected to the equipment cabinet rails. Buzz/hum in system may be experienced when the T45 chassis is insufciently grounded. In this case, install a ground wire to the T45 chassis and terminate to a veried ground source.2. Make sure antenna connections are secure. 3. Set the T45 Transmitter to MEDIUM power output on the RF Power menu choice.4. Install transmitter at a distance from sensitive equipment.5. Use a remote antenna (ANT 005 or ANT 024).6. Make sensitive equipment more immune to RFI/EMI. The manufacturers of your audio equipment may offer application notes for this purpose. Williams Sound offers a document giving suggestions for improving RF immunity in existing audio equipment (Technical Bulletin: Buzz Or Hum In The Sound System, FRM 531).
38Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterRemote Control is not working over Wi-Fi• Please note: If you have a network system administrator, please contact them rst before attempting to troubleshoot the network yourself. If you don’t have a system administrator, the following steps are things you can try on a small, non-managed network. • This situation is most often caused by the mobile device losing connection to the router when the Wi-Fi on the mobile device has been turned off.1. In order to perform these steps you will need the SSID of the router, the router wi- connection password/passkey (not the administrative password-these are two different passwords), and the IP address of the T45. You can nd the IP address of the T45 by going into the Menu on the T45 itself (using the front buttons and display). 2. Make sure the T45 and Router are both ON.3. Make sure the ethernet cable going to the T45 is plugged into one of the LAN ports on the router (Not the WAN port). 4. Is the mobile device connected to the router? On the mobile device, go into the Wi-Fi Settings, and make sure Wi-Fi is turned on or enabled. More than one router may show up in the list of possible connections, depending upon how many routers are nearby. If you don’t see your router in the list, make sure the router is ON and broadcasting it’s SSID. 5. If you see the router SSID in the list, connect to it by clicking on it. Usually there is a check mark or some other indication of which router/SSID you are connected to. You may need to enter the wi- password/passkey to the router to connect.6. Once you have veried that you have connected the mobile device to the router, exit the Wi-Fi settings on the mobile device and open an internet browser. Type the IP address of the T45 into the address bar of the Internet browser and hit the Enter key. You should see the T45 web page come up.7. Verify the connection by changing a setting on the T45 through the internet browser. If you can change settings and get feedback on the web page (or verify the change on the front display of the T45), you are now connected to and controlling the T45.8. If step 7 didn’t work, try re-booting (1) the router (2) the computer and (3) the T45 (turn it off for 10 sec then turn it back on). Wait at least two full minutes for the T45 to re-establish itself on the network. Then try pinging it again (go back to step 5). 9. If you can make changes to the T45 initially but then lose that ability (get disconnected), you may have to look at deeper network issues such as IP address conicts, power issues, or even settings in the router. Fixing the router to one Channel as opposed to letting the router hunt between channels (as in “Auto Mode”) is one thing to try, and can improve connection stability. 10. If there is interference, or low signal on the mobile device, try moving the router to a better location.11. Some mobile devices have known issues with certain routers. To x this, you can investigate updating the operating system on the mobile device. Or, try a different mobile device just to verify that ANY device can connect. If you can get one device connected, but not another, chances are the device that cannot connect has issues. A different brand/model of router may also x the problem with certain devices not connecting. 12. You can try connecting a computer directly to the T45 with a crossover cable to verify that the ethernet connection on the T45 is working. Once this has been veried you can place the T45 on the network and begin troubleshooting back to the mobile wi- device.13. You can try restoring the T45 to factory settings. This will clear out any changes and allow you to start clean with a known static IP address (you will need to enter it). Make sure when entering a static IP address that it is compatible with the network IP structure, and also does not conict with any other device IP addresses on the network.14. If you have tried all of these steps and still can’t connect, call Williams Sound for additional troubleshooting help. Note that Wlliams Sound cannot help in all cases, as there are many variables within networks.
39Personal PA® DSP FM Wideband TransmitterRemote Control is not working over the hardwired Ethernet network• Please note: If you have a network system administrator, please contact them rst before attempting to troubleshoot the network yourself. The following steps are things you can try on a small, non-managed network. • In this situation you have to check the entire signal path between the control device (laptop or desktop computer) and the T45. You can save some time by “pinging” the router and T45. Pinging allows you to verify the wiring path without physically having to trace the wires themselves.1. In order to perform these steps you will need the IP address of the T45 and the router. You can nd the IP address of the T45 by going into the Menu on the T45 itself (using the front buttons and display). 2. Make sure the T45, Router, and any other devices in the signal path (i.e. an ethernet switch) are all ON.3. You can save time tracing wiring/hardware paths with these next three steps: 4. Open a CMD window on the computer. (For example, to do this on a Windows XP/Vista/or 7-based PC, click on the Windows symbol on the lower left corner of the screen. In the search box, type “CMD”. A black box should come up and the cursor will be blinking.) 5. Type “ping” followed by a space, followed by the IP address of the T45, and hit Enter. If you see a “reply from...[ip address]” this means the hard-wired ethernet path is ok. If this is ok, skip to step 9. If you see “request timed-out”, there is most-likely a break in the wiring path between the computer and the T45. 6. Try “pinging” the IP address of the router. If you can get a reply from the router, but not the T45, the problem is either in the wiring between the router and T45, or the T45 itself could be malfunctioning. If the router doesn’t ping, go to step 7.7. Now you’ll have to check all of the wiring between the computer and the T45. Make sure every device in the signal path is plugged in and turned ON. Re-seat (unplug and plug back in rmly) all ethernet cables in the path between the computer and the T45. If you nd one that was loose, plug it in and go back to step 5. Keep repeating this process until the T45 pings successfully.8. If no loose cables were found in step 7, try re-booting (1) the router (2) the computer and (3) the T45 (turn it off for 10 sec then turn it back on). Wait at least two full minutes for the T45 to re-establish itself on the network. Then try pinging it again (go back to step 5).9. At this step you have veried that you can ping the T45 from the computer. Open an internet browser on the computer. Type the IP address of the T45 into the address bar of the Internet browser. (i.e. it will be something like 192.168.1.100) Or, if the address is already there from a previous connection, just refresh the browser.10. Verify the connection by changing a setting on the T45 through the internet browser. If you can change settings and get feedback on the web page (or verify the change on the front display of the T45) you are now connected to the T45.11. If you can make changes to the T45 initially but then lose that ability (get disconnected), you may have to look at deeper network issues such as IP address conicts, power issues, or even settings in the router. 12. You can try restoring the T45 to factory settings. This will clear out any changes and allow you to start clean with a known IP address (you will need to enter it). Make sure when entering a static IP address that it is compatible with the network IP structure, and also does not conict with any other device IP addresses on the network. After this is done, go to step 9. If step 10 doesn’t work, go back to step 5.13. If you have tried all of these steps and still can’t connect, call Williams Sound for additional troubleshooting help. Note that Wlliams Sound cannot help in all cases, as there are many variables within networks.
