AXIS 213 - Setup
Half-duplex mode also transmits and receives audio in both directions, but only in
one direction at a time. This means that you must select when to receive or transmit
audio with the help of the push-to-talk button. To speak, press and hold the button
(check that the microphone is not muted). When finished speaking, release the button.
You will now be receiving audio from the other end of the connection.
Note that the push-to-talk button is configured from AMC, see AXIS Media Control
(AMC), on page 9. It is also possible to configure the Push-to-talk button so that it
toggles between speaking and listening modes. Half-Duplex mode is best if you only
have limited bandwidth available.
When you select Simplex - AXIS 213 speaker only mode, the speaker connected to
the AXIS 213’s connection module will play audio, but no audio will be transmitted
from the AXIS 213 to other web clients. This could be used to e.g. provide spoken
instructions to a person seen in the network camera. This mode requires you to use
the push to talk button.
Simplex - AXIS 213 microphone only mode transmits audio from the microphone
connected to the AXIS 213’s connection module to any web clients. It will not receive
audio from any other web clients. This can be used in remote monitoring, web
attractions etc., to provide live audio, as well as video, of a monitored situation.
When using half-duplex, the Send the sound from the active client to all other
clients option transmits the audio signal from the client that is talking to all the other
clients.
Audio Input
If there are problems with the sound input being too low or high, it is possible to
adjust the input gain for the microphone connected to the AXIS 213.
Audio Output
If the sound from the speaker is too low or high it is possible to adjust the output gain
for the active speaker connected to the connection module.
When satisfied with the settings, click Save, or click Reset to revert to the previously
saved settings.
