USER OPERATION
When block all mode is selected, as lines become available, they will automatically “go busy”.
Pressing Block All again will release the lines and allow incoming and outgoing calls.
When Block All is active, a small letter ‘B’ will appear in the upper right hand corner of the main screen.
Note:
Block All will affect any lines that are shared between studios. So if a you are seeing a blocked
line on a VSet that is not in Block All mode, odds are there is a studio in the building that has
Block All active.
Numeric Keypad and the GO Button
This section is used for dialing out either on the handset or on air. The VSet operates differently depending on
which system it is connected to.
PRO TIP:
The DTMF “Touch Tones” used by telephones can be easily decoded. When dialing on the air, do not
enter private numbers or passwords without first turning off the hybrid’s audio on your console or
this private information will be broadcast.
Hx6 & iQ6
When the VSet is used with the Hx6 or the iQ6, the VSet will operate like a normal POTS phone. When a line is
selected for air or the handset is lifted and a line selected, dial tone will be heard. When a number is dialed it will be
dialed in real time with DTMF tones.
When the last digit is entered, you will either hear ring-back, busy, or re-order tone (Or dead air followed by the
operator error message if you didn’t enter enough correct digits.) Hopefully, if you hear ring-back tone, it doesn’t
last for too long and the correct party answers. On with the show!
VX Engine
When the VSet is used with the VX Engine, the VSet will operate like a VoIP phone and ENBLOC dialing is used.
When a line is selected, no dial tone is heard and the line will not be seized until the call is executed.
While a number is being composed, the digits will appear in the line info field. During this time, the selected line
is blocked and all other VSets on the network will display the Line as ‘in-use’ to avoid glare and unwanted interrup-
tions.
After a number is entered, the GO button initiates the connection, similar to a cell-phone. After pressing the GO
button, you will not hear any DTMF tones, just a short pause and your call will be completed, presuming you
entered the correct digits.
When the handset is used to make a call, dial tone and DTMF tones will be heard, but the call will not be executed
until the GO button is pressed.
