Telos 2101 Multi-Studio Talkshow System - Axia Element Installation & User Manual

Telos 2101 Multi-Studio Talkshow System

Utilizing v.2.2 or later software
The operation of the Series 2101 is nearly identical
to the the TWOx12, but there are additional features that
can be configured for use with Element:
• Either 12 or 24 lines can appear on the console
(should the Series 2101 be configured for 24-line op-
eration),
• Either two or four hybrids can be controlled by the
console, each assigned to a fader channel, and
• Automatic sequential or manual assignment of calls
to fader channels.
Installation and Configuration
Note: Your Series 2101 system needs to have
software version 2.2 or later installed. The latest
software is available on the Telos website at www.
telos-systems.com/support/ .
The following proceedure also assumes that
your Call Controller module was either installed
by the factory, or that you have installed it your-
self following the proceedure described in the
"Installing A New Module" section of this manu-
al's Appendix C.
Follow this proceedure to ready your Series 2101 for
use with Element:
• Connect your Series 2101 to the Axia network using
it's Ethernet port, and assign it an IP address that is
acceptable for use within your network. (Please refer
to the Series 2101 documentation for instructions on
how to configure IP addresses.) It is recommended
that the 2101 System be on its own network segment
independent from the Axia network. IP routing be-
tween the Axia and 2101 networks will be required.
The Element console and the 2101 Hub will then
require proper gateway information in order to pass
TCP/IP data between your two networks.
• If you have not already done so, connect your tele-
phone lines to the Series 2101 configure it following
the instructions in the Series 2101 User's Manual.
Once configured, confirm that the system is opera-
tional using a connected Telos Desktop Director.
The following steps must be undertaken in each stu-
dion in which the Series 2101 will be used:
1. Connect the Series 2101 Studio Interface audio inputs
and outputs to an Axia Analog Audio Node. (The hy-
brid inputs and outputs must be connected via ana-
log since there is no way to separate the two hybrid
back-feeds using the AES interface.) Wire to the Left
side only of the two node inputs. (Remember, you'll
need to set the Signal Mode to LEFT when creating
Source and Show Profiles for these inputs.)
Why use Analog inputs? The use of analog in-
puts with Series 2101 is necessary because the
unit's AES input and outputs use only one con-
nector each (AES left channel for Hybrid 1 and
right channel for Hybrid 2). Due to this configu-
ration, these channels cannot easily be sepa-
rated; thus we must use Series 2101's analog
I/O to ensure that each hybrid receives its own
correct, unique Mix Minus.
2. Designate an Analog Node output as the studio's
Program-OnHold feed and connect it to the Studio
Interface's Program-On-Hold input.
3. If the studio will be using an Extended Hybrid, con-
nect the additional two inputs, two outputs, and Pro-
gram-on-Hold input as described above.
4. Within the 2101's configuration pages, create a

each Element console with a phone module.
5. Using the Audio Node's Source Configuration web
page, enter a text name and channel number for
each 2101 input. Configure the inputs for low-delay
"Livestream" or "Fast" audio mode. Within the Ele-
ment's Source Profile configuration web page create
a Source profile for this channel number and define it
as a PHONE type.
6. Using the Analog Node's Destination Configuration
web page, select the same channel number for each
for each output that you used for the corresponding
input. Select "To source" for the Type. This tells the
node to receive the Mix Minus Backfeed generated
by the Engine for the source of the same channel.
7. Open the Element's Module Manager/Phone Chan-
nels web page. If you have the Caller Control-
ler Module installed, you will see the following
