# Controlling Fixed Lines from the Input Channel

## Scope

The intent of this document is to cover the configuration of an Element or Fusion to control a Telos VX, Hx6, or iQ6 System from the input channel **without a 2-Fader Call Control Module**. It presumes that the hybrid/phone system has been configured, is present on the Axia Ethernet network, and is running up-to-date software. If the system is not completing calls, you'll want to troubleshoot this first. This document is meant to cover Element and Fusion version 3 or higher. Older versions will have a variation to this instruction.

### Step 1: Configure the phone system for Fixed Lines

**Telos VX:**

- In a VX Studio, set up at least 1 **Fixed Channel,** enable it, and assign it a Livewire Channel to be used in the console system's source profile.

**Telos Hx6 / iQ6:**

- Navigate to the system's **Setup Wizard** (Hx6) or **Show Setup** (iQ6) page
- Set **Fix hybrid** ***n*** **to line** ***n*** to **ON**
- Apply Settings

> [!CAUTION]
> **ATTENTION!!** When using this mode on the Hx6 or iQ6, Line Position 1 is permanently bound to Hybrid 1 and Line position 2 is permanently bound to Hybrid 2. Turning on Fixed Lines in these phone systems disables line positions 3-6.

### Step 2: Configure the Fusion / Element Source Profile

- Create a new Phone Source profile
- Enter the name and Livewire Channel number of the hybrid
- Under **Phone Control / EU Phone** enter the IP address of the Hx6 / iQ6 phone system in the **Server IP** field. (in this example, the phone system's IP address is 192.168.2.168. Yours might be different)
- Click the **Vx** radio button
- Enter the VX's **Studio Name** or if this is Hx6 or iQ6, enter **Hybrid 1&2**
- For Fixed Hybrid, enter a **1**
- Apply Settings

### Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for hybrid 2

- Repeat the above step, except enter a "**2**" for **Fixed Hybrid**
- Continue as desired, if possible. (not possible with Hx6 / iQ6)

### Step 4: Insert these new Phone Sources into a Show Profile

### Step 5: Load the Show Profile on the console.
