The Hook switch remotely controls the Line hooking on suitable telephone hybrids
(such as Macrotel 5,7,9 and BoxTel by Axel Technology). This switch connects /
disconnects the hybrid from the telephone line and mutes the channel (ie. when
Hook is depressed, Receive input is automatically muted).
The HOOK LED switchs on only with telephone line properly connected.
Ring LED blinks when a call (ring) is coming. This requires a suitable control by
the external telephone hybrid (such as Macrotel 5,7,9 and BoxTel by Axel
Technology). Please refer to Telco Remote Interface - par. 0.
If the HOOK switch is pressed with an external hybrid properly connected, the red
HOOK LED will illuminate and the caller is connected to the Telco module but not
yet heard in the broadcast because the fader is still down.
By opening the fader, the Telco module will be activated and the signal will enter
the program (see also MASTER/SUB switches par. 15.5 and PFL PRIVATE button
par. 15.6)
The input channel signal may be routed to the main Stereo MIX (L-R) and/or to the
SUB bus by pressing the respective switches.
There is a red LED inside each switch which will illuminate accordingly.
The Sub mix can be mixed into the main output mixbus (Master) (see MASTER
routing switcher on the Sub module). This is a convenient way to use the SUB
assigment switch as a subgroup system, creating new possibilities in the Oxygen 5
console.
