Phone Setup Choices
There are three methods of setting up phone control with the Quasar console. These
methods are referred to as:
EU Phone (networked)
•
US Phone (networked)
•
No Phone Control (GPIO enabled control)
•
EU Phone is the method most used in European countries, wherein a single line is assigned
to a single hybrid.
This is also known as "hybrid per fader" mode; that is, there is no switching between multiple
lines on a single hybrid. Each line is presented on its own dedicated console fader. If four
phone lines are desired for use, each line's hybrid is presented on a separate fader. No on-
console line controller module is used.
US Phone is the method most common in North America, where the operator has the ability
to choose between multiple incoming lines to feed the telephone hybrid. Commonly, two
hybrids are presented on separate faders, and the user dynamically switches between
incoming lines; the Quasar Phone Controller module is used for this mode of operation.
Most Telos multi-line call systems support both of these two methods.
No Phone Control is a way of controlling third-party hybrids which do not work with Telos
control protocols; instead, basic GPIO closures are used to "take" and "drop" lines.
Setting Up for EU Phone Operation
First, create a Source Profile for your fixed hybrid (as described in the section in Chapter
