Public address system is widely deployed in all kinds of collective occasions, such as air and rail terminals, large-scale shopping malls, sports stadium, etc. To meet the current demands for a unified communication system, public address system is preferred to be integrated with the telephony system to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
Snom PA1 is a SIP bridge uniting the functions of a telephone with a high-performance digital amplifier for broadcasting announcements while upgrading digital/POTs systems into SIP-based ones. Yeastar has completed interoperability testing with Snom PA1, which is to say by integrating Snom PA1 and P-Series Phone System & Yeastar S-Series VoIP PBX, our mutual customers will receive premium user experience with rich functionality from both Yeastar and Snom.
How It Works
Snom PA1 functions as a SIP extension. Once registered to the Yeastar PBX, it can be called like a regular extension to trigger announcements via the connected speaker or headset. For example, if PA1 is configured with extension number 1000, any user can simply dial 1000 to make a live announcement through the speaker connected to the Snom PA1.
This integration helps unify voice broadcasting and phone systems, providing a seamless user experience and an easy-to-manage solution.
*Special Note: Snom PA1 can register up to four SIP accounts—referred to as “identities” on Snom devices—allowing flexible broadcasting through the connected speaker.
Integration with Yeastar P-Series Phone System
Yeastar P-Series Phone System supports manual SIP registration only. To register the Snom PA1:
- Log in to the PA1 web interface.
- Go to Identities > Identity 1 and input the SIP credentials from your PBX.
-
- In your PBX extension settings, set both Caller ID and Register Name to the extension number.
- On the PA1 side:
– Account = extension number
– Password = extension registration password
– Registrar = PBX domain or IP address (e.g.,pbx.example.yeastarcloud.com or 192.168.5.150)
- Use the same domain/IP as the Outbound Proxy, and select the appropriate transport protocol (e.g., UDP).
- Save and register. Once successful, the PA1 will appear as a live SIP extension, ready for broadcasting through the connected loudspeaker.
