Introduction
ProntoNet IP Decoder
expands the PRODYS IP range of audio codecs family.
It is based on the features provided in ProntoNet.
ProntoNet IP Decoder
is a
multi-algorithm stereo audio decoder over IP, supporting many industry
standard coding algorithms such as; G722, MPEG1/2 LayerII, MPEG1/2 LayerIII,
MPEG2/4 AAC LC, MPEG4 AAC LD & HE, apt-X (enhanced and standard) as well
as uncompressed linear audio (PCM).
Each
ProntoNet IP Decoder
fully supports IP (TCP and UDP), connecting via a
10BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port (RJ45 connector). This enables remote
monitoring/configuring and data/audio transportation over data communication
links (LAN, Wan, Internet…).
About this manual

ProntoNet IP Decoder can be controlled from a Web Browser. This chapter
describes how to start it and how to use it.
Chapter IV – ow does the ProntoNet IP Decoder work?
This chapter is a practical guide to help in understanding just how the
ProntoNet IP Decoder unit works under different configurations, especially
the more unusual ones.
Appendix A – Technical Specifications.
Appendix B – Disconnection Codes.
This appendix describes the meaning of the disconnecting codes showed on
the display.
Appendix C – Updating ProntoNet IP Decoder firmware.

Installation Guide
This chapter describes the ProntoNet IP Decoder hardware and user installation.
The installation and servicing instructions in this manual are for use b qualified personal.
II. Initial checks
Before unpacking unit check its packaging for any signs of damage or
mishandling during transportation, report any damage to the shipping company
immediately. Unpack the unit carefully, if you find any damage or the unit does
not work correctly, you should contact Prodys or its distributor as soon as
possible.
II.2 Installation
The ProntoNet IP Decoder is designed to be housed in a standard 19” rack. The
unit is 44.45mm high (1U, or 1.75 inches). When choosing a suitable place for
installation, please bear the following in mind:
The position must allow for easy connection of cables to the back of
the unit.
The front panel must also be accessible, both for connections and to
be able to see the Display, keyboard and LED indicators.
The air vents must not be obstructed.
We do not recommended that the unit is mounted directly above other
equipment, especially ones that generate a lot of heat.
II.3 The rear panel
The majority of the connections of the ProntoNet IP Decoder are found on the
back panel. They are grouped together according to their function, as below:
Chapter II

II.3.1 Power
On the back panel you will find the main power inlet. You will also find the main
power switch and the fuse holder. The ProntoNet IP Decoder unit is designed to
take AC universal power, from 100 to 240 VAC with frequency between 50Hz and
0Hz.
You will also find a fuse holder that holds two fuses, one for each phase of input.
When it is necessary to replace either fuse, it is important to make sure that it
complies with the technical specifications outlined below that will ensure
adequate protection.
Fuse requirements:
Fuse type: Type T
Amps 2A
Power 250V
ATTENTION – CHANGING THE FUSE
Disconnect the power cable BEFORE changing the fuse.
VDC SECONDARY POWER SOURCE
THIS IS OPTIONAL AND DOES NOT COME FITTED AS STANDARD. IT
CAN BE 12, 24 OR 48 VDC.
The unit will switch automaticall from the primar power source to the
back-up power source in the event of a cut in the primar power suppl .

II.3.2 Ethernet port – the LAN Connector
The LAN socket is an standard 100Base-Tx (10/100 Mbps) Ethernet connection
that takes the typical RJ45 plug. Through this Ethernet port it is possible to
transmit and receive audio, as well as manage the equipment. Next to the
socket there are three LEDs that indicate different states for the connection and
these are very useful in problem-solving situations.
LAN LED’s:
Connection to a ub or Switch
In the majority of cases you can simply connect the unit’s LAN port to your
Ethernet network’s Hub or Switch using an Ethernet cable (CAT5). In this
case you should use a standard ‘straight-through’ Ethernet cable (not a
‘cross-over’ cable). This kind of cable can normally be found in any IT shop.
In any case, this cable is described in more detail below:
Connection to a PC
In some cases, such as when you configure the equipment, it is possible
that you will want to connect the unit directly to a PC. In this case the PC
must have a free Ethernet port to connect to and you must use a ‘cross-
over’ Ethernet cable. Again, any good IT shop will stock these cables. This
time the wiring is as follows:

II.3.3 RS 232 Port
There is one RS232 port for use as auxiliary data port. This port allows the
reception of data along with encoded audio. Note that this socket is RJ45
connection, as opposed to the typical sub-D 9 ways connectors. To make the
conversion between RJ45 and RS232 there are modular connectors available that
should be wired as follows:
S-Cluster
RJ45
Connector
9-pin female
D-sub
Connector
1 (NC) 1
2 (Rx) 3
3 (GND) 5
4 (NC) 4
5 (NC) 6
6 (GND) 7
7 (Tx) 2
8 (NC) 8
1,4,5,8 must be unconnected
The port is always set to 8 DATA bits, NO parity, 1 START bit and 1 STOP bit.
The bit rate can be adjusted to between 300 and 9 00 bps via software.
The ProntoNet IP Decoder acts as a DCE device, therefore the connection to
each of the RS232 ports is wired in the following wa :
ProntoNet IP Decoder – Pin 7 connector RJ45.........................Pin 2 PC
ProntoNet IP Decoder – Pin 2 connector RJ45.........................Pin 3 PC
ProntoNet IP Decoder – Pin 3,6 connector RJ45......................Pin 5 PC
The ProntoNet IP Decoder ignores hardware handshaking signals.
