Phone In 6 Introduction
The Phone In 6 is a call control centre for phone-in radio
shows. It is capable of interfacing to 2, 4, or 6 phone lines
by fitting up to 3 modules, where each module can have
2 x PSTN lines or 1 x ISDN BRI line. The ISDN basic rate
interface allows 2 calls to be handled, 1 on each B channel.
The PSTN module has 2 interfaces each using a modern
digital hybrid interface, which is settable by software to
handle a variety of PSTN and PABX systems with varying
impedances, call connection & disconnection tones.
The unit comprises 2 boxes: The PI-6C 1U rack mounted Base Console (BC) unit which has all
the audio & telephony connections together with the metering and complex controls.

Secondly, there is the PI-6R Remote Control Panel (RCP) which connects via Ethernet based
cabling to the main unit and allows the user to see the status of each caller, to receive an
incoming call and to subsequently route it to the mixing desk. It also includes connectors
for a headset that enable remote dialling out and the screening of incoming calls.
