fected. The usual application for this function is to let you prevent early callers from getting in
on contests until after you’ve made the announcement and released the lines to accept calls.
When block all mode is selected, as lines become available (they stop ringing or drop off) they
will automatically “go busy”.
Pressing Block All again will release the lines and allow incoming calls.
Numeric Keypad and GO Button
For dialing out, either on the handset or on-air. The keypad works during an active call to
generate tones for voice mail and other services.
While a number is being composed, the digits will appear in the line info field. After a number
is entered, the GO button initiates the connection, in similar fashion to a mobile phone.
Re-dial Function
After selecting a line, press the GO button before any digits are dialed. The last dialed number
appears in the line info field. Pressing GO again causes dialing to start.
Fader Assign
Normally, when a call is taken, it goes to fader 1, but you can assign it to any of six console
faders. (The number of possible faders depends upon your specific installation and configura-
tion.) When a call is on-air, or before it is taken, the round fader assign buttons to the right of
the LCD can be used to move the call to the desired fader. The number in the yellow rectangle
in the line info field shows you which fader is or will be used.
Fader assign is configurable to be enabled or disabled to keep the LCD uncluttered for people
who will not use the feature.
In our older on-air phone systems, we were limited by the cost of the day’s technology to one
or two hybrids, so we only used one or two console faders. With the VX system, this limitation
is removed. That means that you can assign a fader to each call if you want to do so, allowing
independent control of each call’s volume.
Firmware Upgrades
You can upgrade firmware for your VSet by using a web browser and downloading the
firmware from Telos. Support may give you a link in email, or you can find the latest versions
at the Telos website. After downloading the firmware image, point your web browser to the
IP address of the VSet that you wish to upgrade (the default password is <blank>, and the
username is “user”). Then, browse to the firmware image location on your PC (desktop or
downloads folder is common) and select Upload. To activate the new firmware, select it in the
browser and the VSet will reboot. When it restarts, it will be running the firmware version that
you selected.
