OUTPUT OF VIEWSTATION CODEC TO INPUT OF VORTEX DEVICE 
 
 
  
Connect the Positive conductor of the Vortex device to the Tip of the RCA connector and the Negative 
conductor of the Vortex device to Shield of the RCA connector. 
 
The shield of the cable is not connected. 
 
TIPS FOR VIEWSTATION 128 / H.323 / MP / 512 
1.  The volume control for the ViewStation codec controls the incoming far side audio and the local 
tone generator.  It does not, however, control the sound effects inside the units such as incoming 
call ring and the female speech that occurs when you dial a number.  This is important to note 
because if the volume control is very low, it may appear that the codec audio is operating correctly 
because the sound effects are still generated and will be heard in the local room.  However, when 
a call is connected, the local side may not hear the far side because the local volume control is too 
low.  Since the local participants heard the sound effects audio at a normal level, it may not be 
obvious that the volume control is set too low. 
 
The sound effects volume control can be adjusted in the S
YSTEM INFO, ADMIN SETUP, PHONE AUDIO 
page. 
 
2.  If the ViewStation codec is turned off either through the power switch or unplugged from the wall 
while the codec is still connected to the Vortex device via the input and output audio cables, a 
loopback will occur in the codec.  This means that a portion of the audio signal that is sent to the 
codec from the Vortex device will be coupled into the signal that is sent from the codec to the 
Vortex device.  This will cause the local room to hear a reinforced version of their own speech via 
the local room loudspeakers.  Our recommendation is to leave the codec power on all the time; 
however, if the codec must be powered down, we recommend muting either the output channel of 
the Vortex device that will feed the input of the codec or the input channel of the Vortex device that 
is connected to the output of the codec.
