8.  Why does my laptop / tablet  not receive audio from the 

innkeeper PBX for recording?

Many newer laptops / tablets only have a TRRS headset jack. If you want 
to record 2 track stereo audio, you will need to either get a sound card 
with a stereo line level input for your laptop or use a USB or FireWire 
interface product.

9. 

How do I record onto my computer and edit the files?

 

You will need to purchase or download any audio editing software of your 

choice. You may also need to edit the audio configuration files on your 

computer or in your software to allow recording in stereo. innkeeper PBX 
just allows you to access the audio from your phone line. 

10.  Does innkeeper PBX come with any Talk Show software?

No, however a multi-line PBX phone system acts as a line selector switch. 
When the innkeeper PBX is online, simply select which phone line you want 
to talk to, either dropping the last caller, or putting them back on hold.

11.  Why is there a Send 2 mini-jack on the back of my  

innkeeper PBX?

This is a second line level input to innkeeper PBX. Here you can connect 
another device, such as a CD player, the Line Out from your computer 
or even the output of your personal audio player, to add audio to the 
conversation. This enables you to play background music or other sound 
bites during your discussion. Do not connect a microphone to this jack. This 
is a mono input. If you connect a stereo output here such as a computer 
Line Out, you will receive only Left channel audio on this jack.

12.  Can I still use my phone to take regular calls or do I have to 

disconnect the innkeeper PBX when I am not using it?

You can leave the innkeeper PBX in place and your telephone will continue 
to operate normally. Audio will only pass through the hybrid when you press 
the 

<Broadcast>

 button.

13.   I have a stereo mixer with no Aux bus and only one set of 

outputs. How do I create a mix-minus setup?

If your mixer does not have an 

Aux Send

 bus, you can use 

Pan

 controls 

with the 

Left

 and 

Right

 outputs. Pan the 

Caller

 to the 

Right

 output. Then 

connect only the 

Left

 output to the innkeeper PBX 

<Send 1> 

input. Leave 

the microphones panned to the middle and send the 

Right

 channel output 

containing the mixed audio to your recording device.

Instead, you may also send the mix-minus signal from the L channel RCA 
output to the 

<Send 2>

 input if necessary.
