This article guides the user through configuring the IP Audio System (IPAS) devices for event to action in the WAVE VMS.

Configuring IP Audio System Devices

IMPORTANT: Two IPAS devices with current firmware must be available. 
The firmware can be found at the Product Portal page.

3. Upload audio files to the Source File Upload.
   
    

SUNAPI Commands (Controller)

The following section explains how to use SUNAPI commands to play audio through IPAS devices.

To determine your IPAS device IDs, open a web browser and send the View registered subdevices command to the IPAS controller.

To play audio to a group of speakers:

1. Determine the group ID by sending the View speaker groups command. 
   
   http://192.168.86.65/stw-cgi/system.cgi?msubmenu=speakergroups&action=view
    

   

    

2. Send the View audio out files command to the IPAS controller to determine the audio file name with the src (source) number.

   NOTE: It is recommended to avoid spaces in audio file names for easier 
   formatting.
   Ex. closing_announcement.mp3 instead of Closing Announcement.mp3.

   
   http://192.168.86.65/stw-cgi/eventrules.cgi?msubmenu=audiooutfiles&action=view
    

   

    

3. Test the final play command (device or group) by sending the following commands to your IPAS controller.
   
   http://192.168.86.65/stw-cgi/eventrules.cgi?msubmenu=audiooutfiles&action=control&Type=Play&SpeakerID=3&Name=Src1_1.mp3&volume=<level>
   
   http://192.168.86.65/stw-cgi/eventrules.cgi?msubmenu=audiooutfiles&action=control&Type=Play&GroupID=1&Name=Src1_1.mp3&volume=<level>

IMPORTANT: In the above commands, replace <level> with a number value between
1-100 to set the volume for the audio file. Ex. &volume=50

Integrating WAVE and IPAS Devices

To integrate the IPAS devices with WAVE:

1. Select the appropriate camera to trigger the audio file.
    
2. Right-click and select Event Rules.
    
3. Create a new event and select Soft Trigger > Do HTTP(S) request.
    
4. Enter your SUNAPI play command.
    
5. Enter your Login and Password for the IPAS controller.
   
   
    
6. Click the soft trigger that was created in your camera tile to play the audio file.
