Section 1 QUICK RESULTS!

WHO CAN USE THIS SECTION?
You have just opened the carton of one of the world’s most sophisticated pieces of
audio transmission equipment. We know how you feel. You don’t want to sit around
and read a manual. You want to plug- in your new Zephyr and hear what it can do. You
want to connect to a distant location and be amazed at how good audio can sound over
the telephone. We know because we feel the same way when we get a new, expensive,
piece of gear.
As much as we understand your excitement, we ask you to please peruse the following
to get the most out of your Zephyr.
This manual is designed to fully instruct you on the capabilities of your Zephyr and to
provide you with interesting and useful information on audio coding and digital
telephony. (Unlike most other manuals, large sections don’t even require that you be
sitting in front of the product.) We hope you will take the time to read the manual. We
trust you will enjoy it and that it will provide you with new and useful information that
you can use to impress others.
If you need to put the unit in service today or have experience with other, similar
equipment, this section will allow you to get started quickly with your Zephyr.
“ Quick Results” Are for You If You...
•
Know how to dial a telephone call.
•
Are not intimidated by looking at the front panel of the Zephyr.
•
Are willing to erase all of the settings in your Zephyr that may have been
programmed before you got it.
•
Have an ISDN line. (Before starting this process, US users should contact their
telephone company to verify that the line was installed exactly as specified in the
ISDN order instructions found in the appendix of this manual.) Sorry, but there are
too many variables when connecting via Switched 56 or a dedicated digital service
for us to include such a set- up in these “Quick Results.” If you are using a non-
ISDN setup see the instructions for your CSU/DSU and Section 6 Non ISDN
Networks.
•
Understand and have before you all of the items listed in the section that follows
called “What you need before you start.”
•
Understand that these “Quick Results” only get you started and will not answer all
of your questions or demonstrate all of the features of Zephyr.
•
Promise to read the full manual later.
Now, let’s get started.
