Before You Begin…
Your new Telos VSet controller is designed for fast, intuitive control of Telos VX, iQ6, and Hx6 Talkshow Systems. Please
configure your Telos phone system according the instructions in the User Manual before connecting your VSet to the network.
VSets receive 48-volt power through their Ethernet connection, allowing PoE (Power over Ethernet) to be supplied by
Ethernet switches equipped to provide it. Note that this uses 15.4 watts of your switch’s PoE power. If your Ethernet switch
does not have PoE capability, please use the PoE injector included with your controller. The PoE injector is also required for
non-switched direct connections to the Hx6 Digital Talkshow System.
Connect Your VSet
First, determine whether your system’s Ethernet switch provides PoE. If so, connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to
one of your switch’s PoE-enabled ports, and the other to the RJ-45 jack on the underside of the controller.
If your switch does not have PoE capability, connect the included PoE Injector to the switch via the Data In jack. Connect the
VSet controller’s RJ45 jack to the Data & Power Out jack and plug the injector into an AC power outlet.
A direct, non-switched connection between the Hx6 and a VSet is possible without use of a cross-over cable. Standard Ethernet
cables from the Hx6 between the PoE power supply and both the Hx6 and VSet are acceptable.
Grounding
To protect your VSet from static electric discharge and other problems, you will want to make sure the chassis has a good
connection to ground. We have provided a grounding screw on the unit near the RJ-45 connector. We highly suggest
connecting it to your studio’s grounding system.
