Configuring?IP Speak

Setting up a Tonmind IP speaker is straightforward. Here's how to configure it:

Step 1: Determine the IP Address of the IP Speaker

Default Static IP Address:

• Tonmind IP speakers come with a default static IP address: 192.168.5.200.
• If you've just received a new IP speaker or have reset one, you can simply enter this IP address in your browser to access the web interface and configure the speaker.

Dynamic IP Address (DHCP):

If your IP speaker is set to DHCP, you will need to use the IPTool to locate its IP address.

Follow these steps:

• Ensure that your computer and the IP speaker are connected to the same network.
• Download and open Tonmind's IPTool.
• Click the Search button to find the IP speaker on your network.

Step 2: Using ONVIF to Locate the IP Speaker

Tonmind IP speakers also support the ONVIF protocol, allowing them to integrate with compatible VMS (Video Management Systems) and NVRs (Network Video Recorders).

For example, with Tiandy's VMS:

• Open the VMS software.
• Auto Search for Tonmind ONVIF Speakers.
• Add the speaker to your VMS for further configuration and management.
