Pairing Operation
The HUB Base and Remote Headsets that come in one system package will auto pair up right out of box. Manual pairing is only required when there is a need for adding or changing headset or HUB base to the system.
Connect the HUB Base and the Headset with a USB-C Cable.
Pairing requires a USB-C cable. Connect one end to the USB interface on the HUB Base’s front panel, and the other end to the USB-C interface of the headset. The HUB Base screen will display the Select Number interface. Locate the designed headset number with the arrow keys, and press the round Menu/Confirm Button to complete number setting and pairing.

Headset(s) Number Setting via HUB Base
When repairing and numbering the headset, be sure to turn on all the headsets to avoid selecting duplicate numbers, which may lead to connection failure with other headsets. In case of the wrong numbering of a headset, simply connect it to the HUB with the USB cable and operate the pairing and numbering process again.

Cascade Connections

Multiple sets can be cascaded to expand the number of headsets. The Solidcom C1 HUB Base supports two cascading methods, 4-wire analog and IP digital signal cascading. 4-wire analog mode is generally used in cascading connections of 2 sets, and the IP digital signal cascade for 3 sets. If more than 3 sets are cascaded, it is recommended.

Two Systems Cascade via 4-Wire Interface
Use a standard network cable to connect two HUB bases through the 4W interface. The network cable is generally up to 300 meters long

4 Wire Settings
After connecting the two systems with the network cable, configure each HUB Base’s line sequence by entering “4 Wire Settings” and selecting “Line sequence switching”. Set the first HUB Base to “Standard mode” and the second HUB Base to “Cross mode”.

HUB Display Interfaces

Two Systems Cascade via IP Network
Use a standard network cable to connect the two systems through the RJ45 network port. Either one of the two RJ45 network ports on the HUB works.The network cable is generally up to 300 meters long.

HUB Settings

After connecting the two systems with the network cable, configure each HUB Base’s basic settings as Master or Slave device. Generally, the first system is set as Master Device, and the second one as Slave Device. In this case, you need to turn OFF the “Obtain IP address automatically” under “Network” settings on both the HUB Bases.

HUB Display Interfaces

Three Systems Cascade via IP Network Cascade Connection Method
When cascading three systems, it is recommended to use the IP network connection. Set the first system’s HUB to Master Device and the second and third HUBs to Slave Device.

Group Settings
The HUB Base supports A and B grouping settings. You can view the system’s current group setting by entering the Group menu on the HUB. To operate group settings, connect the computer and the HUB via the RJ45 interface using the network cable, and enter the Group settings menu. Or download the Solidcom APP on the mobile phone and connect to the HUB through WiFi to access the Group settings menu.

Check Group Settings on HUB

Viewing method:

Operate Grouping via Computer
Enter the “Network” menu on the HUB, and select “Wired network settings” to view the HUB’s default IP Address, User Name and Password. Use a network cable to connect the computer and the HUB via the RJ45 network port. Set the IP address of the computer as [192.168.218.xxx], and the default IP address of the HUB as [192.168.218.10]

Open the browser on the computer and visit http://192.168.218.10 to enter the configuration page of the HUB.

A & B Group Buttons on Headset(s)
