Take it Easy
We’ve built a lot of flexibility into the VX system to support all the sophisticated things you
might want to do. But you don’t have to use all the fancy-pants stuff when you don’t need it
and a simpler subset will do.
In the simplest case, when you are a talent supported by a producer, you could just use the
Next and Drop buttons. You press the Next button to take calls in the sequence determined by
your producer and you press the Drop button when you are finished with your last call and you
want to stop taking more.
One step up would have you pressing the right column line buttons to select the calls you
want, one at a time. Again, when you are finished taking calls, you would press Drop. You
could use the left column line buttons to talk with callers on the handset.
At the next level, you would use either the lock function or the fixed line capability to confer-
ence calls.
Some Common Questions
Question: “I can’t place a call. After I dial, nothing happens! What’s up?”
Answer: Don’t forget to press the green “Go” button after dialing.
Question: “Why don’t I hear any audio after pressing a line button in the handset column (left
column)?”
Answer: Double-check that the handset cord is plugged into the handset jack (not the headset
jack) on the VSet.
Question: “Why can’t I put a call on the air? When I press the right column line key, nothing
happens!”
Answer: Put the VSet into “Talent” mode. When the VSet is in “Producer” mode, calls cannot
be placed on the air from that VSet (so as to prevent accidental call drops, or placing the wrong
caller on the air).

Operation with the Element Console
The Axia Element console can be used to control both fixed and selectable lines from the VX.
Entering the VX Engine IP address connects all the needed logic functions - line selection is
the main one, but muting for the VX sets is also handled. Any VX set assigned to a studio
and show shared with an Element will mute its ringer when the Element tells it to. Nice, eh?
Selectable lines use the Element’s Call Control Module as the line selector. It can be used in
either 12 or 24 line mode, depending upon configuration. In the former, two columns/faders
are used; in the latter, one column/fader. The same module is used for either 12 or 24 line
