AXIS C8310 Volume Controller

Installation

Connect your AXIS C8310 Volume Controller to the I/O connector of any device in your system. We recommend that you simply choose the device that is located closest to your AXIS C8310 Volume Controller.

The volume controller 4-pin connector on AXIS C8310 is specifically designed to work with the I/O Port 1 on the connectivity hub, utilizing pins 1-4 (GND, 12V, I/O, and I/O). Once connected, those ports cannot be configured for other uses.

Note

The host device must have firmware version 11.6 or later.

Configure your device

Make a SIP call

Use your AXIS C8310 to initiate a SIP call from a speaker with a built-in microphone to a SIP recipient.

In this example we initiate and hang up the call with the same button. We have chosen source button 1, but you can choose any button on your AXIS C8310.

Note

If you are using the same button for source control in AXIS Audio Manager Edge or Pro, you might want to unassign that functionality in those applications.
