VM-4 Installation Guide Rev 04.12 Page 3 of 21 Essential Trading Systems Corp.
Introduction
ETC’s VM-4 programmable microphone is designed to integrate with desktop VoIP (Voice Over
Internet Protocol) applications – in this case Twisted Pair’s WAVE Desktop Communicator. The
VM-4 is ideal for situations where a multi-channel, plug-n-play, desktop audio interface is needed.
With virtually any USB (Universal Serial Bus) compliant PC and 3
rd
party VoIP desktop application
software, the VM-4 enables “mouse free” interaction with up to four channels of audio without the
need to ‘point-and-click’ on the Desktop Communicator itself.. This allows the user to speak on the
‘hoots’ while performing other tasks on the PC. An RJ45 (Registered Jack) port is provided for
connecting up to four external PTT (Press To Talk) switches giving the user eight available Tx/Rx
(Transmit/Receive) channels.
This guide will cover configuring the VM-4 in Windows XP Pro, Windows 7, and WAVE.
