Installation

Before You Begin…

Your new Telos VSet controller is designed for fast, intuitive control of a Telos Vx Engine, iQ6, or Hx6 Talkshow Systems. Please configure your Telos phone system according to the instructions in the User Manual before connecting this console controller to the network.

The VX Console Controller receives 48-volt power through their Ethernet connection, allowing PoE (Power over Ethernet) to be supplied by Ethernet switches equipped to provide it. If your Ethernet switch does not have PoE capability, please use an in-line PoE injector. A PoE injector is also required for non-switched direct connections to the Hx6 Digital Talkshow System.

Note that this uses 15.4 watts of your switch’s PoE power.

Connect Your VSet

First, determine whether your system’s Ethernet switch provides PoE. If so, connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to one of your switch’s PoE-enabled ports, and the other to the right hand RJ-45 (J8).

If your switch does not have PoE capability, connect an in-line PoE Injector to the switch via the Data In jack. Connect the RJ45 jack named J8 to the Data & Power Out jack and plug the injector into an AC power outlet.

A direct, non-switched connection between the Hx6 and a VSet is possible without use of a cross-over cable. Standard Ethernet cables from the Hx6 between the PoE power supply and both the Hx6 and VSet are acceptable.

The LED indicators near the VSet connection port (J8) should show solid green (good connection); the yellow LED should be flashing, indicating data flow. After a few seconds, the VSet’s LCD screens will light. If they do not, check the connection of the PoE Injector and / or Ethernet cable.

IMPORTANT:

Please be sure to connect PoE to J8 only. Connecting PoE to J2 will damage the CPU board and void your warranty.

Assign an IP Address

Note:

In factory default configurations, the IP addresses between a VSet and an Hx6 should default to directly compatible settings.

Press the Menu Button and find the Setup option. Press the Line button next to Setup. This will take you to the VSet Setup Menu.

Press the Left Line Key next to VSet IP Address and use the number keypad to enter an available IP address. When the IP address is entered, press the line key to the left of the Vset IP Address again to save.

IMPORTANT:

The Star (*) Key is used to enter a dot (.) and the Pound (#) key is used to enter a Backspace.

Then press the Left Line Key next to VSet Netmask and use the number keypad to enter the subnet mask for the network. Press the line key to the left of the VSet Netmask again to save the subnet mask.

Note:

Do not assign a Gateway address unless directed to do so by Telos Support.

Press the Menu Button to save settings and exit.

Connect to the Telos System

Press the Menu Button and find the Engine Setup option.

Press the Line Button next to Engine Setup.

Press the Line Button next to Vx Engine List to select from the list of Vx Engines and/or talkshow systems installed on your network -OR-press the line button next to Engine IP and manually key in the IP address of the Telos hybrid or Vx Engine you wish to connect to the VSet. The star key is “.” and the pound (#) key is backspace. Press the left line key next to Engine IP to save the IP address. If the login information of the system has been changed, enter it into the User and Password fields. Default Username is user and there is no password.

Select Studio

From the Engine Setup Menu, press the left line key next to Select Studio. Select the correct Studio from the Vx Engine or hybrid. Do this by pressing on the corresponding Line number button.

The Hx6 and iQ6 systems are only capable of managing one studio. Therefore the only choice is Hybrid 1&2

Select Show (Vx Only)

Since the VX Engine is a multi-studio, multi-show system, once the Studio is selected, you may need to select the Show. Press the Menu Button to enter the Main Menu and press the left line key next to the item for Select Show. Press the left line key next to the desired show. Once the Show is selected, the available lines will show as available on the VSet’s display(s).

After this step, your VSet is ready to control calls.

Deselect Show logs the controller out of the current show. This is necessary sometimes when performing maintenance to the Vx System Configuration.
