because, by default, there is no Livewire traffic flowing. Only after you assign Livewire outputs
in configuration, as described below, will this be a concern.
The lower, WAN (Wide Area Network) port is isolated from the Livewire port and thus provides
a firewall, ensuring that no traffic can pass from the Wide Area network, often connected to the
Internet to access VoIP, to the studio Livewire network.
Out of the box, the defaults for the network connections are:
♦ The WAN port is disabled. To use it, you must enable it on the Main configuration page,
as described below, and move the services you want to use to it, also on the Main
configuration page.
♦ All services – HTTP web access, SIP/VoIP, VSet audio and control, and Livewire audio
I/O – are provided via the LAN port.
♦ No Livewire inputs or outputs are assigned or enabled. You do this on the Studios
configuration page.
VSet Installation
VSets are normally connected to the Livewire/LAN Engine port via the Ethernet switch linked to
this port.
The VSet is powered over the Ethernet connection. This is 48 volts DC according the PoE
(Power over Ethernet) standard. The Vset’s power consumption is 15.4W. Power may be
supplied by the standard PoE injector we include with the Vset, or it can come from an PoE
equipped Ethernet switch. If a PoE switch is used, ensure that the Ethernet cabling is not so
long that it causes too much voltage drop. Some Axia products, such as the PowerStation and
IQ console, have ports that provide PoE.
♦ Connect the Ethernet cable and confirm that that the LEDs near the jack are indicating
correctly. The green LED (link) should be on solidly, showing a good connection. The
yellow LED (data) should be flashing, showing data flow.
♦ After a few seconds, the LCD screens should come to life as the Vset “boots up”. If they
do not, the likely problem is the PoE supply or an ethernet cable issue.
♦ Press the Menu button and then navigate to the Setup Menu . (On the Vset 1/6, press the
“more” button to display additional options including Setup.) Press and hold the button
to the left of Setup Menu key for 3-5 seconds and then release it to access the setup
menu for changes. This “press and hold” feature will make it less likely for unauthorized
users to make changes that could disrupt normal operation. Just pressing it and releasing
it (without holding it) will only show you the IP address and will not let you change it.
1. Enter the IP address that you are assigning to the phone and press the green
“Go” button.
2. Do the same for the netmask value. (Most often, this may be kept at the default
255.255.255.0)
3. Do not enter anything in the “Vset Gateway” field unless directed to do so by
Telos Support. The Vset will operate on the Livewire network and will not need
to be routed anywhere unless you have an unusual or custom installation.
After selecting the engine, you might see ‘Connected to...” for a moment at the bottom of the
set screen.
