Page 26
II.3.5 HP1 – HP4 led information panels
The meaning of the LEDS of the HP1-4 led information panels will depend on the
operation mode configured for the headphone controls. Please, read chapter
II.2.2 for more information.
II.4 The front panel and its connectors
In the front panel there are two types of connectors: Jack connectors for the
headphone outputs (4), and XLR connectors for th MIC/LINE level inputs (4):
II.4.1 MIC/LINE Audio inputs
There are four MIC/LINE level audio inputs. Each audio input can be switched
between MIC or LINE level via software (web page or front panel menu), and
can be configured to be applied a 48 VDC phantom power.
Page 27
II.4.2 Headphone outputs
There are four headphone outputs. Signals present on the headphone audio
outputs will be dependent on the configuration of the audio headphone matrix
available in the Nomada IP XL web browser and front panel menu. Please, read
chapter IV for more information about this.
Page 28
II.5 Rear Panel
The rest of connections are located on the rear panel:
II.5.1 INT input

This input is meant to be fed with the international or ambient sound. This input
cannot be encoded and transmitted to the remote end, but only monitored on
the headphone outputs. The audio configuration matrix of the headphone output
configuration allows the user to enable/disable this signal on the headphone
audio output mix.
Page 29
In addition to this, the audio gain for this signal can be adjusted from either the
web or the front panel menu.
II.5.2 Line level balanced auxiliary audio output (Aux Out)

This output is a balanced line level output, with a maximum level of +20 dBu.
This output is user configurable; that means that it is possible to define which
audio signals will be present in this output. Please, read more about how to
configure this output in chapter IV.4.
II.5.3 Second auxiliary line level output (Rec Out)
This output can carry the program line signal, the return from the program line
or the sum of both signals. This is a balanced XLR connector. Please, read more
about how to configure this output in chapter IV.3.
II.5.4 Auxiliary data: GPIO and RS232 ports.
The GPIO port on a DB9 connector allows remote control/signalling by means of

remote contact closures. There are two ground contact inputs and two relay
outputs.
Page 30
A RJ45 connector at the rear panel provides a serial port (RS232 port) for
sending/receiving auxiliary data along with the encoded audio for IP and ISDN
communications.
II.5.4.1. RS232 port
The RS232 port is for use as auxiliary data port. This port allows the transmission
and reception of data along with encoded audio. Note that this socket is RJ45
connector, as opposed to the typical Sub-D 9 ways connector. To make the
conversion between RJ45 and RS232 Sub-D connector there are modular
connectors available that should be wired as follows:
Nereus 9-pin female

RJ45 D-sub
Connector 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 9600 bps via software.
Each Nomada IP XL acts as a DCE device, therefore the connection to each of

This interface might be offered as optional. Please contact [email protected] for further
information.
Page 33
II.5.8 Power supply
Nomada IP XL comes supplied with a desk top AC/DC converter

(16 volts. output) to be connected to the power connector located
at the rear panel. The power converter works with an AC input
range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
The power switch is located just below the power connector.
In addition, there is also available an optional battery pack.

Whenever the external power converter is connected, the power is supplied from
it, and the battery will be charged when necessary. When the external power
converter is unplugged from the unit, the battery will take over.
The ‘Power’ and ‘Batt Low’ leds on the LED information panel will show the
connection status of the battery.
By pressing the ‘INF’ key (i) on the meny navigator keypad, the screen will show

Chapter III
NOMADA IP XL AUDIO INPUTS
III.1 Location
There are four MIC/LINE level audio inputs, switchable between LINE and MIC
level, located on the front panel.
III.2 Technical specifications
III.2.1 MIC/LINE level inputs

All MIC/LINE level inputs are
electronically balanced on a XLR
female connector. These inputs
are switchable between MIC and
LINE levels via software (web
control or front panel menu).
It is possible to supply phantom

power (48 volts.) to each input.
This option is configurable by the
user from the front panel or from
the web page.
When the Phantom Power is enabled, the ‘phantom’ led on the LED
information panel will light on RED.
Page 36
When the audio inputs are configured as MIC level inputs, sensibility
range is –60 to –25dBu.
When phantom power is enabled, the whole gain is decreased by 15

dB to compensate for the the higher output of condenser MICs.
Thus, the gain range will go from –45 to –10dBu.
When the inputs are configured as LINE level inputs, the maximum input
level will be +20dBu.
Each input level can be adjusted independently.
Page 37
III.3 Nomada IP XL in stereo mode
Nomada IP XL is meant to be used as a double codec, with two mono

communications, but it is possible to use it as a stereo codec with only one audio
connection. To use Nomada IP XL as a stereo codec, the user has to select single
codec mode at the IP configuration window:
Once in single mode, it is possible to select any stereo compression mode for the
audio mode configuration.
the first input becomes the left channel, the second one becomes the right audio
channel, and the third and fourth audio inputs adds to both the right and left
audio channels when enabled. In fact, the TB key for those inputs is disabled,
and the user can just enable or disable them.
Those audio inputs assigned to the main program (line 1) would become the
audio mix on the left channel, whilst those inputs assigned to the second channel
will feed the right channel. The third and fourth audio inputs adds to both the
right and left audio channels when enabled. In fact, the TB key for those inputs
is disabled, and the user can just enable or disable them. It allows the user to
mix two mono inputs (2 journalists for instance) to both the left and the right
channels of an stereo source and send it over IP, ISDN or PSTN.
Page 38
Take into account that the compressor/limiter must be disabled when working in
stereo mode. This will be done automatically by the unit when the user selects
any stereo mode. It can be done manually as well from the ‘SYS’ tab on the web
control page:
III.4 Audio Level Controls for MIC/Line level inputs
Each audio input can be adjusted independently. The MIC level controls are
locked to prevent from unwanted changes. To unlock it, press the button in the
middle and the current level gain will be displayed on the screen. In addition, a
round led around the button will light on blue to indicate that the control is
unlocked.
Page 39
Press softly on the round control and turn it to the left or to the right to decrease
or increase the gain on the corresponding input.
This level control will be locked again automatically after 3 seconds of no

intervention. Then, the round led will be turned off.
The audio level control can be made locally from the optical encoders or
remotely by using the Nomada IP XL web browser.
Once the audio input gain setting has been selected to be controlled by remote
control, the Nomada IP XL reminds this effect on its display upon any attempt to
increase or decrease the audio gains locally by means of the audio level controls.
Page 40
The user can change this configuration to ‘Local’ again by entering the front
panel menu, under CONF-AUDIO-INPUTS, or from the window above.
III.5 Adjusting the gain resolution of the audio level controls
It is possible to adjust gain resolution of the audio level controls for the
MIC/Linen level inputs and for the headphone outputs from the Nomada IP XL
web page as it can be seen on the picture bellow:
III.6 Audio input configuration for MIC/Line level inputs

III.6.1 ON keys
Each audio input has a key to enable/disable it. When

an input is enabled, it will contribute to the audio
sent through the program line (line 1). The
corresponding LED on the LED Information Panel for
that input will light on GREEN, indicating that the
input is enabled and going through the line 1.
Page 41
III.6.2 TB Keys
Nomada IP XL supports two independent

communications via IP or ISDN. Thus, we can
establish one connection for the main program, and
another one for coordination, or TalkBack program.
Each input can be configured to be added to the
audio contribution on line 1 or line 2 by means of
the ‘TB’ keys located on the top surface. Likewise,
each input can be enabled/disabled, regardless of
the status of the ‘TB’ switch, by means of the ‘ON’
keys.
When the TB switch is disabled for a given input, that input will be disabled
automatically for security reasons. This way, this input cannot enter the
program line unintentionally.
Take into account that there are two different operation modes for the TB
keys: ‘Latching’ and ‘non-lathing mode’. This mode can be configured from the
web control page.
With ‘non-laching’ mode, the user has to keep pressing the TB key for the
input to be assigned to line 2 or coordination line. As soon as this key is
released, the input will be disabled. This mode does not apply from the control
on the web control page. TB controls on the web will be disabled in this
operation mode.
With ‘laching’ mode, the TB key acts as a switch, so it is not necessary to keep
pressing the TB key for the the corresponding input to be assigned to line 2.
Another click, once the input is assigned to line 2, will disable that input.

Chapter IV
NOMADA IP XL AUDIO OUTPUTS
There are four headphone outputs and two general purpose balanced audio
outputs (line level).
IV.1 Location
The four headphone outputs are located together on the front panel.
The two balanced audio outputs are located on the rear panel. They are
called ‘AUX’ and ‘REC’ outputs.
IV.2 Headphone outputs
IV.2.1 Technical specifications
6.3mm Jack connector

Headphone impedance range: 300 – 2K ohms.
Output Impedance < 25 ohms.
Bandwidth 20Hz-20kHz (1dB).
Maximum output level: 6dBu (8 mW) on 300 ohms.
THD+N < 0.01% @ 1kHz.
SNR < 95 dB.
Independent audio sources (local o return) for left and right.
Independent level adjustment for each output.
Page 44
IV.2.2 Operation mode – Headphones Matrix
The audio sources for the headphone outputs can be selected from the
Nomada IP XL web browser. At the same time, it is possible to define if
some of them will be attenuated depending on which line (program or
talkback) its corresponding input t is connected to.
The audio sources that can be selected are: Program, Cue, Talkback Tx,
Talkback Rx and International Sound.
There are two different operation modes for the headphones, Independent (IND)
and Panoramic (PAN). Please, read chapter II.2.2 for more information about
these two modes.
Page 45
By right clicking on each cross point a new dialog appears that allows to define
the behaviour of the selected output depending on where the corresponding
input is connected, that is, depending on if the MIC/LINE level input is connected
to the program line or to the talkback line. Also, it allows the user to select
whether the signal will be controlled from the audio input keypad.
IV.2.2.1. Attenuation when the MIC/LINE level input goes to Talkback or Program
It is possible to define an automatic attenuation on signals that feed the

headphone outputs when the corresponding inputs go from Program to Talkback
or vice versa. The attenuation will be carried out according to the following
critera:
Program or Cue can be attenuated when the corresponding input is connected to

the Talkback channel. It is possible to define an independent attenuation level
for each of them.
Page 46
The same thing can be done regarding Talkback Tx and Talkback Rx, that is,
each signal can be attenuated when the corresponding input goes to program.
NOTE: When talking about ‘the corresponding input’, we mean the Mic/level
input with the same number as the headphone output we are configuring.
IV.2.2.2. Enable from TB Key
“Enable from Tb Key” is an additional option that is only available for Talback Tx
and Talkback Rx. When it is enabled, the corresponding signal will be sent to the
headphone outputs only when the corresponding input has been connected to
the Talkback channel, that is when its corresponding ‘Tb’ key has been pressed.
When this option is disabled, this signal will be always available on the
headphone outputs regardless of whether the corresponding input is connected
to the Talkback channel or not.
IV.2.2.3. Enable when TB Key is pressed more than one second
This option is only available for the INT input. This option allows the user to
enable the monitoring of the INT input on the headphones by means of the TB
key, by pressing this key for longer than one second.
IV.3 Line level balanced audio output: REC
The audio sources for the REC output can be selected from the Nomada IP XL
web browser.
Bandwidth 20Hz-20kHz (0.3dB).

Maximum audio level: +20dBu.
THD+N < 0.005% @ 1kHz.
SNR < 100 dB.
XLR male connector fitted to the rear panel.
In normal operation, this output carries the audio coming from the
program line (line 1). This audio signal is called CUE.
Page 47
Output impedance < 50 ohms.
IV.3.2 Operation Modes
The REC output supports different configurations depending on the selected

audio sources in the auxiliary output configuration matrix of the web browser:
IV.3.2.1. Codec Mode
In this mode the REC output carries the audio signal coming from the line 1 or
CUE. This mode is selected by clicking Cue signal in the configuration auxiliary
output matrix.
Page 48
When the REC output is configured in codec mode, it is also possible
to work in stereo. In that case, the REC output carries the left channel
audio of the received stereo signal. This operation mode requires to
be enabled from the web browser in order to disable the
compressor/limiter.
IV.3.2.2. RECORDING operation mode
In this mode, it is possible to add the audio contribution signals on the program
line to the return signal from the same line (CUE signal). One application might
be to record an interview or a retransmission.
This mode is selected by clicking Cue and Program signals in the auxiliary output
configuration matrix.
Page 49
IV.4 ‘AUX’ output.
This output supports many different configurations depending on the selected

audio sources in the auxiliary output configuration matrix of the web browser:
XLR male connector (REC output).

Maximum output level: +20dBu.
THD+N < 0.005% @ 1kHz.
SNR < 100 dB.
Output impedance < 50 ohms.
IV.4.2 Operation modes

Depending on which signals are selected from the auxiliary output configuration,
the AUX output supports different configurations.
Page 50
IV.4.2.1. CODEC mode
In this operation mode, this output contains the signal coming from the
second line (Talkback Rx).
IV.4.2.2. INTERCOM mode
In this mode the audio signal going through line 2 (Talkback Tx) is added to the
AUX output.
IV.4.2.3. Other configurations for the Intercom mode
This diagram shows all the signals which can be routed to the ‘aux’ output:

0 dBFs. When only one character is showing it therefore represents a value
between –96 and –56 dBFs. The dBFs value is indicated on the right of the LCD
screen. The output is indicated by a > symbol following the L and R characters.

VI.3.2.4. Screen 4: Decoding algorithm11
This window shows the algorithm that is selected and synchronised for Decoder
1 and 2 (number 2 is only relevant when Nomada IP XL is working as a DUAL
codec). Here are some examples:
D1:MPL2-064-MN-48
D2:G722
D1:MPL2-64-ST-48
D2:NOT AVAILABLE
If the Decoder is not synchronised it will show the text “SEARCHING”
The different algorithms are written in the following way:
PCM – Mode - Sample Rate – number of bits.

G711 – Law.
G722.
MPEG Layer II – Bit rate – Mode – Sample Rate – CRC.
MPEG Layer III – Bit rate – Mode – Sample Rate – CRC.
AAC MPEG2 LC – Mode – Sample Rate – CRC.
AAC MPEG4 LC/LD/HE – Mode – Sample Rate – CRC.
AptX – Mode.
11
Take into account that some compression modes might be available as an option.
Page 69
VI.3.2.5. Screen 5: Encoding algorithm12
This is similar to the Decoder described above, but will describe the encoding
algorithm instead.
E1:MPL2-64-MN-48-CR
E2:G722
The different algorithms are displayed in the same way as the Decoder outlined
above, except for the following modes:
AAC MPEG2 LC – Bit rate – Mode – Sample Rate – CRC.

AAC MPEG4 LC/LD/HE – Bit rate – Mode – Sample Rate – CRC.
If the Encoder is configured to automatic mode or if the Decoder is not

synchronised you will see the following:
E 1 : A U T O
E 2 : N O T A V A I L A B L E
VI.3.2.6. Screen 6: System name
The name configured for the device will appear in this information window:

VI.3.3 The BOOK Key
This key directly accesses the internal Address Book. By pressing this key we can
view and connect to entries in the Address Book. (Note that to edit or modify
entries the user has to go into the BOOK option in the main menu).
Pressing BOOK the user can enter the Address Book index:
<< BOOK[01] >>
Using the left and right navigation keys the user can go through the different
entries in the Address Book. By pressing OK we select the item that is on-
screen. Now the screen shows the number/numbers to call, or the IP address,
depending on which has been saved.
L1:1234567890
L2:1234567890
Pressing OK again will process this information, that is, Nomada IP XL will
configure the Encoder according to the BOOK entry and make the connection
over ISDN, PSTN or IP. However, if you press the right arrow instead you can
simply display the encoding mode saved.
Page 72
E1:MPL3-128-MN-48
When you press the BOOK key only those stored entries which are
relevant to the NET that is currently activated will be shown. So when
NET = ISDN, the user will only be able to browse previously stored ISDN
entries, just as when NET = IP you will only be able to select from relevant
IP addresses.
Page 73
Chapter VI
THE FRONT PANEL MENU
By pressing OK on the navigation keys you enter the system’s main menu from
the default STATUS screen. We shall take a close look at the different options
available in the system menu.
All menus, submenus and options described in this section meet a counterpart at
the Web Control interface. For new users we recommend to get familiar with the
codec essentials by means of the Prodys IP Family User Manual, since this
reading usually is more comprehensive the first time.
VII.1 The Controls: Navigation keys
Using the on-screen menus the user can control all the functions of the
Nomada IP XL. Using the ⇐, ⇑ and ⇒ keys it is possible to move around the
system menus and with the OK key select the desired options. Here is some
more detail on each of these keys:
⇒ : Moves to the menu option on the right. When we reach the last option, a
further press of this right arrow will cycle us round again to the first option, i.e.
we go to the left-most end of the list. The option that is available for selection
will appear on the display inside brackets ( {} ).
⇐ : Moves to the menu option on the left. When we reach the first option, a
further press of this left arrow will cycle us round again to the last option, i.e. we
go to the right-most end of the list. The option that is available for selection will
appear on the display inside brackets ( {} ).
⇑ : Returns to the previous level of the menu. If we keep pressing this key we
will leave the system menu completely and return to the STATUS screen.
OK : This selects or confirms the option that is selected (between the brackets)
and where relevant activates the subroutine associated with this option.
Page 74
VII.2 Main Menu
The main menu has the following options:
MAIN MENU
{NET}ENC CONF INF
NET: This allows us to select the communications port required.

ENC: Here you can configure Encoders 1 and 2.
CONF: from here the user can configure various general parameters of the
unit, for instance selecting the audio input or setting up the LAN port.
INF: From here you can obtain information on the software version and
various configuration parameters of the ISDN port.
VII.3 NET: Selecting a communications port
The Nomada IP XL has three different communication ports that allow the unit to
operate over three different types of network: IP, ISDN and PSTN (Public Switch
Telephone Network).
NET SELECTION
{IP}ISDN PSTN
The NET option is only available if the lines are not already connected. If they
are busy, the display will show the following text:
N O T A V A I L A B L E W I T H
L I N E C O N N E C T E D
Each NET type selection will of course have their own set of configuration
parameters, as will be seen next.

VII.3.2 IP CODEC
A Prodys IP Family codec is a stereo signal capable codec. However the codec
provides a mean to split one stereo codec into two independent mono codecs.
This option is enabled at the NET menu.13
Single Codec: Stereo audio signals and any compression algorithm might
be enabled.
Double Codec: This setting enables two independent mono codecs.

Following restrictions must be remarked:
a) Only mono signals can be encoded and decoded.

b) PCM and AAC HE compression modes not supported.
c) Apt-X and enhanced Apt-X are supported only at 16kHz
sampling frequency
13
New menu dialog available from version 6.0 onwards.
Page 76
SET CODEC
SINGLE {DOUBLE}
When selecting the mode of operation over IP, single or double, a new screen
will prompt the user for the type of IP communication: Unicast/Multicast or Multi-
Unicast, and for the type of protocol to use: Prodys VX, SIP/SAP, RTP. Multi-
Unicast mode is only supported by Prodys proprietary protocols, whilst
Unicast/Multicast mode is supported by all protocols, proprietary and standard
protocols (SIP, SAP, RTP).
For more information about protocols and type of IP communications, please

refer to the Prodys IP Family User Manual.
VII.4 ENC: Encoder algorithm selection menu14
From this option the user can select the audio Encoder algorithms. Note that the
Nomada IP XL can operate as a DUAL codec15. In this case, it is possible to have
two simultaneous communications that are totally independent and so it is
possible to configure the second Encoder. However, there are operational
restrictions in the configuration of Encoder 2 that depend on the algorithm and
mode already selected for Encoder 1.
If we select ENC from the main menu the following is displayed:
14
Some compression modes might be available as an option.
15
Page 77
SET ENCODING MODE
{ENCODER1}ENCODER2
ENCODER 2 is only available if the unit is configured as a DUAL codec. PSTN

does not support double mode, so ENCODER2 is not available on PSTN.
No compression modes are available if NET = PSTN, so both ENCODER1 and

ENCODER2 menus are disabled.
VII.4.1 Configuration of Encoder 1
The configuration of Encoder 1 (and Encoder 2 where available) is done in steps,

starting with the selection of an algorithm and following on with the different
parameters that relate to that particular algorithm. The Nomada IP XL menu will
always only display the options and parameters that are relevant to each
algorithm’s configuration. Additionally there are certain restrictions associated
with the communication interface selected. For example, uncompressed audio
can only be selected when the NET is set to IP. In the following description
these restrictions are outlined for each algorithm.
Selecting the algorithm
For Encoder 1 the following options are available:
AUT: Automatic Mode. The Encoder adopts the same mode as the Decoder.
PCM : Linear audio with no compression.
G711 : Compatible with the telephone standard.
G722 : Low delay ADPCM compression, appropriate for voice.

HEADPHONES CONFIGURATION
There are three different options within this menu: MODE, LEVEL and MATRIX.
The option MODE defines the monitoring operation mode on the headphones.
There are two different modes: IND (Independent) and PAN (Panoramic). For
more information about these two modes of operation please read chapter
II.2.2.
The menu structure of the third option, MATRIX, depends on the mode of
operation selected for the headphones: PAN or IND. If PAN mode is selected,
only the options TX and RX will be available under the MATRIX menu, given that
with this operation mode (PAN mode) the user has to configure what signals
take part of the transmission and reception paths.
On the contrary, when selecting IND operation mode, the only options available
under the MATRIX option will be ‘L’ and ‘R’. In this operation mode (IND mode),
the user has to select what signals will be mixed and monitored on the left and
on the right ears.
In addition, under the LEVEL option, another menu will allow the user to define a
different audio level for each signal in 1dB steps.
AUXILIARY OUTPUTS
The menu structure for the configuration of the auxiliary outputs is simpler than
the headphone one. The user just has to enable or disable the different signals
available to take part of the audio mix on the corresponding auxiliary audio
output. These signals are: PROG, CUE, TALKBACK TX and TALKBACK RX.

Page 93
Configuration of the ISDN parameters for each B channel (Line 1 and Line 2)
The parameters that we can configure for each communication line are as
follows:
SET ISDN LINE 1

{LNUM}CNUM SPID ANS LOOP
LNUM: An abbreviation for ‘Local Number’. With this option it is possible to

assign a different number to each of the lines available on the basic rate ISDN.
In this way we can automatically map incoming calls to each line, as each line
will only respond to calls made to this local number. When the local number is
programmed the unit only detects as an incoming call those calls that are made
to the local number - all other calls are not recognised.
CNUM: An abbreviation for ‘Calling Number’. This option allows you to program
up to a maximum of three numbers that will work as incoming call filters. When
the CNUM option is activated, the Nomada IP XL will respond automatically only
to calls made from these CNUM numbers. It is possible to program each line
separately.
SPID: When you are using NAT1 or DMS100 you must enter the correct Service
Profile ID (SPID) numbers for the ISDN BRI circuit.
Automatic or manual response: When automatic response is selected, the

unit will connect automatically to an incoming call, always doing so when there is
no restriction imposed by the local number or other such call filters. In manual
mode, the incoming calls are indicated on-screen and the user simply presses the
corresponding CALL key to go ahead and connect that line.
LOOP: It is possible to enable an external loop on any of the two B channels of

the ISDN interface. By enabling this external loop, all the incoming data on that
channel will be sent back without any processing.

receive ancillary data or not.
AUX.DATA MENU
{RS232}GPIO
It is possible to enable independently the RS232 port and the GPIO port. There
are two decoders DEC1 and DEC 2 in case the Nomada IP XL works as dual
codec so, it is possible to have auxiliary data on both or either of them.

The TBP option let us define the packet size of the audio frames. This packet size
is configured per compression mode and per codec. Take into account that some
compression modes do not allow the user to change the packet size, as this
packet size is fixed. Those compression modes will not appear on the menu.
SET TBP (2-24msc)

Chapter VIII
PSTN OPERATION MODE
Whe the unit is configured to work over the PSTN interface there are some
In this operation mode, the unit will be able to make and receive calls on any
plain analog telephone line (Public Switched Telephone Networks).
VIII.1 Compression modes
When working on PSTN mode, there is no compression, so the encoder

configuration is not available. The encoder information on the web and on the
front panel display will remain, showing G711 as compression mode, but only to
maintain the design, and to make it easier to understand.
VIII.2 Communications lines
Only the first line will be available when working over PSTN networks. In
addition, it is not possible to detect whether the interface has been connected to
the PSTN network till the user tries to establish a connection or when receiving a
call, so some line status like ‘Not physical line’ cannot be detected.
VIII.3 Making a call from the front panel
When the user tries to make a call from the front panel by pressing the CALL1
key (CALL2 key is disabled), a tone on the CUE signal path will indicate the user
that the unit is ready to enter the destination to call. If the CUE signal is routed
to the headphones, the user will be able to hear this tone. In addition, every
number being entered from the numeric keypad will generate a DTMF tone on
that signal (CUE).
Page 107
VIII.4 Receiving calls
When Nomada IP XL receives a call on the PSTN interface, this call can be
manually answered or not depending on the configuration of the following option
on the web configuration page:
When this option is set to ‘Automatic’, the unit will answer the incoming calls
automatically. When this option is set to ‘Manual’, the display will show that an
incoming call is in progress, and the user will have to manually pick up the call
by pressing the CALL1 key. Till the call is picked up, a warning tone will be
generated on the CUE signal, so that it can be heard on headphones (in case this
signal has been configured to be routed to the headphones). This tone consists
of two short tones followed by a silence period of about twice the tone period.
The buzzer can also be enabled to warn the user in the event of an incoming
call, in the same way as it works when receiving a call over ISDN or IP.
Page 108
VIII.5 Availlable signals on the audio outputs
Given that only line 1 is available, not all audio signals are available on the audio
output mixer. Thus, only the ‘Program’ (audio transmitted on line 1) and ‘CUE’
(audio received on line 1) signals will be available, given that line 2 is disabled in
this mode.
The headphone audio matrix on the web will be as follows:
Only the CUE and Program signals (signals related to line 1) are available to be
monitored on the headphones.
And the audio matrix to configure the auxiliary audio outputs will be the
following:
Page 109
Similary, only the CUE and PROGRAM signals are available to be monitored on
the auxiliary outputs when working over PSTN networks.
VIII.6 The audio inputs
When the unit is configured to work as a PSTN codec (Net = PSTN) the level of
the audio received on line 1 (this signal is called CUE or PSTN Rx when working
on PSTN mode) can be adjusted independently as well as for the four MIC/line
level inputs, as can be seen in the picture bellow:
Page 110
VIII.7 The audio input controls
It is not possible to assign any input to the second

line, given that this second line is not available when
working on PSTN networks. Thus, the ‘TB’ keys on
the front panel do not work.

Chapter IX
3G OPERATION MODE
The SIERRA WIRELESS COMPASS 888 modem for 3G has been approved for
operation with the Nomada IP XL.
Streaming over 3G requires that the portable codec is licensed for this purpose.
Please check the actual <license> according the picture. The 3G option includes
the SIERRA WIRELESS COMPASS 888 modem.
The user does also require a SIM card which enables access to his 3G provider’s
network. The SIM card is inserted in the holder according the picture.
Either of both rear USB slots admits the 3G modem. The modem manufacturer
recommends keeping free 1cm around the modem. It is also possible to extend
the USB link by means of a short USB cable. This could make easier to place the
antenna for the best radio performance.
Page 112
Please contact [email protected] about license details.
IX.1 Setting the 3G network.
First time the user enables the 3G network it is required to specify at the Web
Control the APN, user and password of his 3G provider.
This information should be provided by the 3G operator. In any case, this

information is accesible on the internet. Some examples are:
Page 113
3G Provider APN User Password
APN Movistar movistar.es movistar movistar
APN Vodafone ac.vodafone.es vodafone vodafone
APN Orange internet orange orange
The user has to configure what DNS server the 3G interface will use to convert
from IP to names and vice versa. Usually this field will be left with the default
configuration: ‘Obtain DNS server address automatically’.
After attaching the 3G modem, the user might enable the 3G network by means
NET menu (either Web control or front panel). Other choices like <Single> or
<Double> mode, as well as the streaming protocol have to be specified.
Page 114
IP NET
ETHERNET {3G}
After setting all parameters applicable for the NET menu, the 3G activation
progress is shown on the display and the Web Control page:
1. <Not Detected !> The 3G modem is not detected by the system.

2. <Initializing> this is the next quick prompt.
3. <PIN> this is the next quick prompt; the user must enter the PIN and
strike <OK>. The PIN code can be introduced both from the web and
from the front panel.
4. <Registering> this is the next quick prompt.
5. <Connecting> this is the next quick prompt.
6. <Connected>. This is the final prompt and the confirmation that the
codec is enabled to stream over 3G network.

IX.2 Warning indication.
In some cases, the 3G modem is able to register and connect to the network,
but if the APN/user/password parameters are not correct or for some reason the
data access of the SIM card is not working and/or enabled, a message like the
following will appear on the web page:
Page 116
In addition to this, on the menu screen, an exclamation mark will be shown by
the 3G indication.
Tx1:IDLE !3G
Tx2:IDLE
This indication will also appear if
the DNS Server or the 3G interface was configured manually and the Server is
not working.
IX.3 IP address for the 3G network.
Once the portable codec is enabled for streaming over 3G, the Ethernet interface
is applicable only for control and monitoring purposes, while the 3G interfaces is
used for audio streaming.
The IP setting for the 3G interface is provided automatically by the wireless

network. Striking several times the <INF> key the user can retrieve the IP
addresses of the codec.
3G IP address is displayed as:
ADR1: xx.xx.xx.xx
MSK1: 255.255.255.255
The portable codec accepts streaming only over the <ADR1:> address.
Codec managing IP address is:
ADR2: xx.xx.xx.xx
MSK2: yy.yy.yy.yy
Page 117
The portable codec managing user accesses over the <ADR2:> .
The 3G IP address can be retrieved also at the Web Control page.
IX.4 3G Networks
Prodys portable codecs do not apply any restriction for streaming over 3G
networks. Different protocols are available, as well as <Single> and <Double>
mode. Streaming connections could be initiated by the portable codec or the far
end codec. Neither are applicable restrictions about the streaming IP bandwidth.
However the user should check the best configuration profile suited to his 3G
provider and application.
Check a valid 3G field strength at the current position. Usually static

position offer better streaming performance than moving applications. It is
allowed to use short extension cables between the 3G modem and the
portable codec.
Streaming over 3G networks should take into account that those network
jitters are far worse than ADSL networks. Prodys recommends trying
initially <RXbuffer> values about [200ms .. 500ms].
Streaming with very short Time Between Packets could imply a higher
packet loss rate. Prodys recommends trying initially for low delay
algorithms like G722 or Apt-X a TBP setting about [10ms .. 24ms].
If frequent streaming interruptions are observed, then it is worth to make
trials with a smaller encoding IP bandwidth, increasing also the
<RXbuffer> value.
Page 118
3G IP addresses are usually dynamically provided and changes frequently
if the wireless link fades. Prodys recommends to initiate the streaming
connection from the portable codec, thus automatic redialing could be
provided from the portable codec.
It is advised to check any provider’s restriction about the maximum
“downloaded volume per month”. Given is the example that a 128kbps
streaming connections accounts for 1G of data each 2.4 hours.

DIP SWITCHES AND BATTERY INSTALLATION
XI.1 Restore factory default setting (microswitches)

There are 8 microswitches on the bottom side of Nomada IP XL which are
reserved for special functions. The microswitches are protected with a removable
cover. The cover must be removed with a Torx-10 tool if access to the switches
is required or the optional battery is fixed on the bottom side.
Picture 1
By default all the switches must be in OFF position according the picture. The
inverted view is according the codec position on the previous picture.
Page 123
ON
OFF
Switch number 7 will restore the default factory configuration if

set ON before a power cycle.
The IP address is changed to a DHCP IP configuration. In case a
DHCP server is not available on the network the address is set to
192.168.100.100 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
After the factory default setting the switch number 7 must return to the OFF
position for usual operation.
XI.2 Optional battery installation

An optional battery can be attached to the Nomada IP XL. The battery not only
allows independence for portable applications, but also redundancy if the main
power can not avoid large voltage dips; since the codec operates continuously
without care of those impairments.
The battery is attached on the bottom side of the Nomada. Following procedure
is indicated for installation:
1. Switch OFF the Nomada.
2. Remove the cover plate of the microswitches located on the bottom side –
rear edge. (Keep the cover plate for future use)
3. Remove the cover plate of the connector for the battery located on the
bottom side – left hand (bottom view according the picture 2 below)
(Keep the cover plate for future use)
4. Place the battery, checking that no room is between codec and battery
surfaces. The battery has to dock on the proper bottom conector. (Picture
3)
5. Fix the battery on each corner with the screws supplied with the battery.
6. Switch ON the Nomada. The Nomada should be able to boot without the
main power cord connected. After 1 minute of booting the (i) key can
supply information about the battery status.
