5. QUICKSTART USER’S GUIDE. MANUAL CONTROL.
To gain a complete grasp of the PHOENIX STRATOS, we recommend reading the previous
chapters carefully. The paragraphs below describe the basic actions you will need to take to
manually operate the equipment. If you need more detail, review the information given in the
previous sections of this manual.
5.1. PHOENIX STRATOS connections.
5.1.1. Power supply.
The 3-pin IEC power feed connectors are located on the back panel of the codec. Connecting
one is enough. You can use both for redundancy if you have two different power supplies.
5.1.2. Audio.
Section 2.2 of this manual gives a detailed description of the physical connection components of
the equipment. A simple approach to the connection procedure follows:
•
Connect the line inputs in analog or digital format that you need, according to the
description of the connectors installed in the PHOENIX STRATOS rear panel. XLR
connectors for the analog inputs and DB15 connector for the digital inputs.
•
From MAIN STATUS
CH1 STATUS
AUDIO IN SOURCE, select the type of signal to
be used for channel 1: ANALOG or DIGITAL. Repeat this step for channel 2.
•
Connect the line outputs in analog or digital format that you need, according to the
description of the connectors installed in the PHOENIX STRATOS rear panel. XLR
connectors for the analog outputs and DB15 connector for the digital outputs.
•
There is no need to define the output type because the PHOENIX STRATOS offers, by
default, all the outputs duplicated in analog and digital format.
•
If you need to use headphones for local monitoring, the ¼” Jack with its volume control
is available in the right-hand area of the front panel.
•
The configuration of the signal to monitor in this headphones output is performed in the
MAIN STATUS
HPHONES menu.
5.1.3. Communication interfaces.
Depending on the type of communication, a certain type of connection will be needed:
•
IP connection: Connect Ethernet cable (CAT5 or higher) terminated in an RJ45 10/100
BT connector to the connector installed for this purpose in the rear panel of the unit.
The selected cable will be the direct type if the connection is made from the unit to a
communications device of the switch or router type. For further information on the
pinout, see section 2.2.7 of this manual.
•
ISDN connection: Connect standard cable terminated in an RJ11 or RJ45 connector to
one of the two connectors made available for this purpose in the rear section of the
ISDN module, according to the protocol and standard to be used (see section 2.2.8).
•
V.35 connection: Connect standard cable terminated in a DB25 connector to the
connector installed for this purpose in the rear section of the unit (see section 2.2.5).
