5. Setup

This section guides you through the physical installation and initial configuration of your Snom PA1.

5.1. Immuntar

The Snom PA1 can be placed on a flat surface or mounted using the integrated mounting tabs. Ensure the location allows for proper ventilation and easy access to ports.

5.2. Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija u tan-Netwerk

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch (preferably PoE-enabled) to Port 1 PoE on the rear panel of the Snom PA1. If using a non-PoE switch, connect an external 5V DC power adapter to the 5V DC port.
2. The Power LED should illuminate, indicating the device is receiving power.

5.3. Konnessjoni tal-Ispeaker

The Snom PA1 can drive speakers directly or act as a preamp for larger systems.

• For Small PA Systems (Internal Ampaktar ħaj): Connect an 8-ohm speaker directly to the Speaker terminals on the front panel. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). The internal 4-watt amplifier is suitable for single or a few speakers.
• For Large PA Systems (External Ampaktar ħaj): Qabbad il- Line Out 3.5mm jack on the front panel to the audio input of your external high-wattage amplifier. L-estern amplifier will then drive the speakers.

5.4. Microphone and I/O Connections

• Mikrofonu: Connect a compatible microphone to the Mic-in 3.5mm jack for two-way communication or announcements.
• Portijiet I/O: Uża l- I/O 1 u I/O 2 ports to connect external devices such as door openers, relays, or sensors, depending on your system's requirements. Refer to the Snom documentation for specific wiring and configuration details for these ports.

5.5. System Integration Diagram

The following diagram illustrates a typical setup for the Snom PA1 within a SIP environment.
