In the default preset (Preset 0), the Bus Mixer for Automixer 1 is set to 1 and
the Bus Mixer for Automixer 2 is set to 2. This means that in the default
mode, all linked devices will work together as one complete automixer.

The matrix mixer allows arbitrary crosspoint gains in 1 dB increments
between any input and output signal.
If you have a PC, use the Conference Composer software (See the Conference
Composer User Guide) to set the matrix parameters. If you would like to set
matrix parameters from the LCD menus, see "Matrix Menu" on page 26 for
descriptions and instructions on setting matrix mixer parameters.

The following is a checklist for building a system with multiple devices:
1. Assign Inputs.
2. Assign Outputs.
3. Configure submatrix (the EF Bus).
4. Configure your echo canceller reference.
Instant
The Designer software will do these tasks for you automatically.
Assign each audio source to an input. Remember to include the conferencing
equipment such as a Vortex Phone Hybrid or a video codec and any program
audio.
Try to assign as many outputs as you can to one Vortex device to make a sim-
pler submatrix. Remember that Outputs 1-8 can also be used as outputs of
the matrix.
To link multiple devices together, use the submatrix on the EF Bus to config-
ure which signals to receive from other devices that have put their signals on
the Bus.
The EF Bus is a high speed, low delay digital bus that includes the W, X, Y,
and Z audio busses, the P bus, as well as the echo canceller bus reference
and remote control information (for other EF devices). It can link up to 8 Vor-
tex devices. The W, X, Y, and Z buses include NOM information and can be
used for sharing microphone inputs, or for sharing mono or stereo program
information.On the EF Bus page in Conference Composer, the inputs coming
in to each submatrix labelled WB0, WB1,... WB7 correspond with the device
ID of the bus that is transmitting. The "B" denotes Bus. The submixes them-
