Broadcast Host™
Analog Desktop Digital Hybrid
Auxiliary Telephone
An auxiliary telephone provides you with an easy way to dial out or set up your
calls. Broadcast Host will disconnect the auxiliary telephone when you press the
<Call> button. If you need to take the call back on the aux telephone, simply pick
up the telephone handset before the Broadcast Host’s <Drop> button is pressed.
To use an auxiliary phone equipped with a “Hold” feature to place or screen a
call, first set up the call and place the call on hold. When you are ready to take
the call on Broadcast Host, press the <Call> button on the Broadcast Host and
your telephone will automatically release the hold.
Your phone will operate as a normal telephone anytime you are in Drop mode.
Leaving the hybrid connected between the wall jack and your telephone will not
affect normal use of your phone. Audio will only pass through the hybrid when
you press the <Call> button.
Optional Jumper Settings
If the incoming Caller level is too high and peaking the red -3 dB LED, you may
need to change the setting of an internal jumper. Disconnect power from the
hybrid and remove the cover of the Broadcast Host to locate Jumper 1. The
default position for this jumper is closed (covering both pins). Changing the
jumper to the open position (either remove the jumper or cover just one pin) will
provide 6 dB attenuation of the incoming audio signal.
Auto-Answer
The <Auto-Answer> feature will answer on the first ring. When <Auto- Answer>
is enabled, you can still make calls manually using the <Call> button.
When finished, you can either drop the call manually or allow the call to
Auto-Disconnect. Broadcast Host will look for a CPC disconnect signal from the
phone company to determine when a call has disconnected. This can take up to
a minute.
