The Vocia TTS-1(e) and TTS-1nc(e) once configured using the Vocia software supports an end user friendly web browser based interface. This web interface is configured by the system designer in Vocia software in the World Properties and TTS-1 dialog windows. Shown below is a quick step guide to setting up a TTS-1 for use via the web interface.
The TTS-1 ships with its operating system and Vocia configuration, but without voice packages. A Voice Package consists of a language, locale and a voice. For the TTS-1 to function you will need at least one Voice Package installed. Please see TTS-1 Voice Management for further information on installing Vocia Voice Packages and your local dealer or distributer for purchase of Voice Packages.
The project must have an MS-1(e), at least one audio output device (VO-4, VA-8600, VA-2060, etc) and a TTS-1. As the TTS-1 is supported by the MS-1 any project file that contains a TTS-1 but not an MS-1 will be invalid. Please note that the TTS-1 cannot be used to make Interworld pages, if you require a Multi World system you must have a TTS-1 in each World.
Open the TTS-1 General Settings dialog window and set the IP address that you need the TTS-1 to use. This IP address will need to be accessible to the end user as it will be entered by them into their web browser to access the TTS-1. Once you have done this and your TTS-1 and MS-1 are online and communicating via IP you can move on to the next step.
In the Tools Menu there is an option called TTS-1 Voice Management. This allows you to install the Voice Packages you have purchased from your local PC.
A TTS-1 Sequence comprises the Zone information, Priority level, voice and paging audio that you require the TTS-1 to serve out to the Vocia devices. Configure one or more sequences in the TTS-1 Sequences dialog window.
The TTS-1 requires that a user name and password be entered into the web browser interface after a connection is established. Set the user name and password in the VTP Users dialog window. Set up at least one VTP User account and this user name and password can be used to enter the TTS-1 Web Interface upon connection.
Once the steps above have been undertaken you can Compile and Send the configuration to your Vocia devices. As long as no Validation rules have been broken and all of the devices are Online this process should be undertaken successfully.
Now you can access the TTS-1 Web Interface by entering the TTS-1 IP address into a web browser that is running on a PC that is connected to the same network as the TTS-1 IP port. See the TTS-1 Web Interface User Guide for information on details of the web interface.
