YouTube had apparently not entered their imagination. In the modern networked world, The Telos VX gets with the program. It is the next generation multi-studio phone system from Telos, providing a powerful, simple, and cost-effective way to share phone lines across a number of studios using standard IP technology.

• The VX Engine A 2U rack-mount device with enormous processing power, the VX Engine provides all the call control and audio processing needed for the system. It supports dozens of telephone lines and many studios. Its two gigabit Ethernet ports provides a cost. • But because the VX system has a hybrid per line, it is often desirable to spread multiple calls over a number of faders, using one for each call so that operators can control each line’s level individually. • DJs prefer to record calls without using headphones or when guests need to hear calls without headphones. The AEC in the Telos VX is a remarkable new development. Its performance is shockingly impressive, permitting very high loudspeaker volume with no noticeable feedback or return echo.

• Telco gateway, they are not needed when the studio equipment can accept AoIP natively. For an example of this sort of installation, see Axia Element Console as VX Controller in Section 5. Connecting to PSTN Lines: Gateways & PBXs. • section 2 Grandstream GXW4004 4-port FXO gateway The “gateway” could also be a full-up IP PBX, such as from Cisco, Digium (Asterisk), and many others. In this case, compatible VoIP phones can be used for general office locations.

SIP lets you move calls between the office and studio systems with no audio degradation. • There is a lot of information in the pages that follow. Here’s the (very) abridged version of what you need to do to get your VX system up and running. If you will not be using an existing network to support the VX, install the Ethernet switch, or switches, depending upon your needs.

• Livewire audio streams to all ports, potentially overwhelming devices like PCs and printers - So you don’t want to plug the VX LAN port into an office network after Livewire outputs are enabled!! Multicast-capable switches will not propagate the Livewire traffic to ports that are not subscribed to a particular audio channel. • Do not enter anything in the “Vset Gateway” field unless directed to do so by Telos Support. The Vset will operate on the Livewire network and will not need to be routed anywhere unless you have an unusual or custom installation. • System Configuration Selectable and Fixed Lines The VX supports the concept of both ‘Selectable’ and ‘Fixed’ lines.

It is possible to have a mix of both. Selectable lines are used for an operation style like traditional Telos systems, where there was a line selector before the hybrid or hybrids. • InsTAllATIon AnD ConFIGuRATIon Configuration Web Pages To access the configuration Web pages, find or connect a PC to the network that the VX Engine is connected to.

Start a web browser and open a connection to the VX Engine by entering into the browser’s address field (assuming the default IP number has not. • LWCP Password.

LWCP stands for Livewire Control Protocol, the way controllers communicate with the VX Engine. A password can be used to secure the Engine from being controlled by unauthorized devices. The VXset, for example, uses this password. By default, this is set to. • NTP server here An NTP server must be accessible on either the LAN or WAN port. The VX automatically finds the correct port. If the NTP server is outside of both the LAN and WAN local network segments, gateway must be set.

You can use a domain name if a DNS server is configured and accessible. • section 2 SIP Configuration The SIP configuration page shows the global SIP settings, along with a list of all SIP servers VX is configured to communicate with. The form at the bottom of the page lets you to add another server. • SIP Invite message and procedure. SIP-connected g.722 audio is via IP, so the VX Engine needs a public IP address that is accessible to the calling side. G.722 does not pass via the PSTN and gateways (which means that ISDN g.722 codecs will not work with the VX). • SIP the “line” is the address (and associated configuration).

To change the line from trunk to station, mark the Register checkbox. This will make the VX register it with the server (meaning, log in) whenever a show referencing this line is active. • Many SIP providers use clever hacks to work around this limitation without any additional sup- port from the client. If you are connecting VX to a SIP provider that doesn’t have such service, don’t worry - all is not lost, as VX has basic NAT support built-in. • section 2 Individual Studio Configuration Pages (part 1) The individual Studio pages are to configure each studio. For each, you can choose how many faders you want to devote to selectable and fixed lines and you assign the Livewire channel numbers to each.

• With native Livewire consoles such as the Axia Element, this is what you need. But if you want to connect the VX to another console via an interface Node, the Node can generate only a “From source”, not a backfeed. For this case, choose Advanced receive and enter the LW. • AEC is what you usually would feed back to phones. For configuration purposes, you should think of the AEC as a separate block outside of other VX functions. There is no internal connection from/to the AEC and other VX signal paths.

• InsTAllATIon AnD ConFIGuRATIon Overall Show Configuration Individual Show Configuration Pages. • The flexibility of the VX extends to the newsroom and production studios. It’s easy to create a ‘studio’ in the VX that can be dedicated to a workstation or special need. Most newsrooms these days are simply PC workstations with a simple mixer off to the side.

You can set up a hybrid for each of your workstations or production rooms. The Call Audio Processing button allows you to enable or disable all of the audio processing features of VX, such as AGC, EQ, ducking, etc., all at once. Enabling this option will let you adjust the individual options below. • 48kHz Livewire rate and allows the switching and mixing to be performed synchronously within the VX Engine. The SRC adapts a number of rates on the telephone side.

The usual telephone rate is 8kHz, but newer wideband codecs making their way into telephony will have higher rates. • InsTAllATIon AnD ConFIGuRATIon SIP signaling is via a text message, not audio. This means the VX has to make its own sounds in response to various line status conditions. We provide default sounds, which are similar to the traditional tones generated by the PSTN, but you can upload your own to create a unique on-air ‘signature’. • Tone MultiFrequency) audio signal that the PSTN uses to direct the call. A gateway to ISDN lines translates the SIP message to the equivalent ISDN call setup message. The VX does not generate DTMF audio.

Likewise, the gateway translates call progress signals from analog tones or ISDN messages to SIP. • In the Logging config page you determine where logs are stored and how much detail is recorded.

You can choose to store logs inside the VX or to an external PC on the network that is set up to handle Linux standard syslogs - If you choose the internal option, log messages will be kept in the VX’s RAM, so are limited in. • DEBUG level for the module you want to trace. For example, if you want to trace what VX Producer or VSet is sending to the Engine, you might chose to select LWCPBE module log level to DEBUG.

• New firmware for the VX Engine is first obtained from Telos via email, Internet download, etc. It is then uploaded to the VX Engine using this page. You can have as many as five stored in the Engine at one time. On this page, you choose which of them will be active.

Reboot the Engine after activating new firmware. • Engines appear in iProbe, just like any Axia device, and can be backed up and restored in the same manner. When restoring, either from backup or to factory defaults, it is possible to keep the current network settings intact. Note that VX will automatically restart to apply the new configuration. VSet Phone Configuration.

• operation VSet Operation Select Studio and Show If these have not been already selected, this should be done as the first step before using the VSet. Press the Menu button to access the menu functions. The LCD will show the various items that can be changed.

• The yellow/orange rectangle near the status icon. Line name The first text line. This is defined in configuration using the VX Engine’s control center web GUI. Caller ID Caller ID will be displayed on incoming calls if it is available. Outgoing calls will show the num- ber dialed. • opeRATIon Time The length of time the call has been ringing-in or on hold. Action ‘hint’ (None active in the graphic.) Shows what line will be affected by drop and hold.

Choose the line you want to drop or hold after pressing either of those buttons. This is shown only when more than one is possible. • section 3 Hold Ready Hold (Screened Hold) Used Elsewhere (in another studio) Line is blocked Line Button Columns Each line has 2 associated buttons to the left of the LCD. Pressing a left column line button puts a held or ringing caller on the handset. Press the right column button to put a held or ringing line on air, dropping any other unlocked calls. • opeRATIon Drop button Drops a call that is active on the handset, or on-air. If more than one line is in this category, there will be a small drop icon near the status icon on the lines that could be held.

Press the line that you want to drop. • In our older on-air phone systems, we were limited by the cost of the day’s technology to one or two hybrids, so we only used one or two console faders.

With the VX system, this limitation is removed. That means that you can assign a fader to each call if you want to do so, allowing independent control of each call’s volume. • Entering the VX Engine IP address connects all the needed logic functions - line selection is the main one, but muting for the VX sets is also handled.

Any VX set assigned to a studio and show shared with an Element will mute its ringer when the Element tells it to. Selectable lines use the Element’s Call Control Module as the line selector. • Fader modules would give you “Euro-style” operation, where each line has its own hybrid/ fader and there is no line selector. There is no limit to fixed lines vs. Selectable in the VX, so you can have as many as you have available console faders. • It also can install the Audacity audio editor. Remember that since the VX uses Livewire audio to carry the “handset audio” to your VX producer PC, that the PC needs to be on a LAN subnet that carries Livewire traffic (the same subnet as the VX engine Network LAN port).

• section 4. • Press the handset button to the left of any line to take the call to the ‘handset’ that is connected to the PC running the VX Producer application. (Often this will actually be a headset/mic.) If no call is ringing-in, the system assumes you want to dial out and opens a window to let you do that. This is the name that was given to the line during show configuration. Text you enter into this area will appear on any other VX Producer applications and VSets that are assigned to the same studio. It automatically replaces the line name text.

• In older on-air phone systems, we were limited to one or two hybrids (audio paths), so we only used one or two console faders. With the VX system, this limitation is removed.

That means that you can assign a fader to each call if you want to do so, allowing independent control of each call’s volume. • section 4 Next Button and Function The Talent next priority is: longest waiting ready hold longest waiting hold longest ringing-in The producer priority is: longest ringing-in The producer can manually override these and assign priority as desired. Block All Pressing this button will cause all inactive and ringing lines to be dropped and blocked from accepting any calls. • The file will appear in the tabbed list box determined by Settings. Normally, a VX Producer in producer mode will put recorded files under the Producer tab and in studio mode, under the Studio tab (naturally).

You can move files among the tabbed lists by either dragging them to the destination tab or using the Send button and drop-down list. • Host/Producer Text Chatting The window at the lower right lets people within a Studio communicate with each other. Type text into the lower field and it will appear on any other VX Producer applications selected to your studio. The ‘Studio’ and ‘Producer’ identifiers are added automatically.

The colors for them can be configured in settings. • In the past, when analog Telco lines were the norm and mobile phones were not yet attached to everyone’s ears, feedback was the usual problem, not echo per se. In earlier Telos hybrids, we addressed that with a combination of ducking, frequency shifting, and a basic canceller.

• AECs are provided within the VX Engine, but they are not connected into its internal signal paths. This is because they need to be placed in the signal paths between the studio loud- speakers and microphones. English To Urdu Dictionary Cracker. • 14.4kbps codec.

Passing this through g.711 within the PSTN and then yet another codec on the way to your studio over an IP link is asking for aural trouble. The VX natively supports the g.711 A-Law, g.711 µ-Law, and g.722 codecs. Almost all PBXs and gateways support these formats.

• section 5 IP Centrex and Hosted PBX Services Just as it shouldn’t matter whether the PSTN gateway is on your premises or not, it also shouldn’t matter where your IP PBX is located. This is the principle that allows IP Centrex services or hosted PBX services to happen. • noTes, ResouRCes, ADDITIonAl InFoRmATIon Actually, there are two types of off-hook signaling. On a loop-start line, when a phone goes off-hook, the circuit is closed, and the central office detects the change in current.

This is the common residential format. Ground-start signaling is a small modification to the scheme to permit disconnect supervision and remove the possibility of glare, where a PBX mistakenly takes a ringing-in line for an outgoing call. • (like adding or removing prefixes, or changing between internal and external num- bers) is done by a gateway or PBX. For VX to do that would require it to know a lot more about the phone network, and believe us, you don’t want to configure that. • VSets to PoE (powered) ports. The Engine WAN port could have its own switch to connect the VoIP lines and gateways.

Or the VX can be configured so that the LAN port could serve everything with no additional switch. The Powerstation could also link up with a central switch to pass audio to/from other locations in the facility. • Element configuration is via web. Do the VX configuration first, and then move on to Element configuration. Things you will need to know about your VX in order to configure an Element as a controller are: The VX Engine IP address ♦. • “Studio 1.”If you wish to change a VX Show using an Element Show Profile, simply specify the name of the VX Show you wish to load in the Show Name field. If you leave it empty, no VX Show will be changed, and whichever show is currently loaded will continue to be used.

• New Source Profile and, using the Primary Source drop-down box, select the audio channel that you configured in VX Engine under Studio configuration. In the list, you should see a Livewire channel number and short description of the Hybrid; give it an Element source name, such as “VX-Hybrid1,”.

• Normally this is used with a 4-Phone Fader Module. If you want to use a Hybrid in this mode, specify one of your VX system’s “fixed” hybrids in the Primary Source field. In the VX Engine studio configuration, you configure both fixed and selectable hybrids. • IP is a potent enabler that has already showed us plenty of surprising things; it’s inevitable that more is on the way. The Telos VX represents an exciting change in direction for studio telephone operations. The open IP nature of the system, along with its rich user interfaces and a powerful platform, offers ongoing opportunities for enhancement of its capabilities. • Some mobile phone applications, such as Apple’s ‘facetime’ are beginning to take advantage of this.

The VX is ready for high-fidelity phone calls, and includes support for g.722, a codec rapidly gaining favor with VoIP providers and users. G.722 uses about the same amount of bandwidth as g.711, but samples audio at 16kHz - double that of g.711! • section 5 Specifications System Maximum number of phone lines: 48, when used with aLaw or uLaw codecs for VoIP lines. (Higher quailty codecs, such as G.722, consume more system resources and result in a de- creased number of total lines available.)

There is no reason you need to know any of this to use the VX. It’s an excerpt from Steve and Skip’s book Audio over IP.

SIP is fast rising to be the big-daddy buzz-acronym among telecom technology acolytes. SIP is how calls are set up over IP connections, so it is actually pretty important. • noTes, ResouRCes, ADDITIonAl InFoRmATIon The SIP message protocol is similar to the Web’s HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), and shares some of its design principles: It is human readable and request-response structured. SIP even shares many HTTP status codes, including the familiar “404 not found.” Here is a typical SIP message: INVITE sip:skip@there.com SIP/2.0 Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 4.3.2.1:5060. • Gateway as well, making a one-box solution that includes everything needed for a small office installation. An example a SIP Server being used in the broadcast world comes from the Telos Z/IP codec family, which uses a Telos-developed, enhanced SIP Server, called (naturally) Z/IP Server. The server is provided as a service on the Internet, but may also be installed by users who prefer to maintain their own.

• SIP Request (INVITE, REGISTER, etc.). URLs (Universal Resource Locator) describes the location of a resource available on the Internet. For example, is the URL for a Web home page. It is resolved by DNS to a concrete IP address. • section 5 (E.164 NUmber Mapping) is the Internet service used to look up the URI associated with a particular E.164 telephone number. It’s part of the DNS system. SIP can use ENUM to locate the VoIP system associated with a telephone number that accepts incoming calls.

How SIP Works As we’ve seen, SIP is a simple, text-based protocol. • Within a PBX system, designers usually choose one codec as a standard for the system and stick with it for all connections. For example, the Telos VX studio system uses 8kHz sampling- rate, 16-bit uncompressed PCM internally for all calls that connect to the PSTN. • Asterisk can also be used as a gateway. For example, you may need to peel a few channels off of a PRI to send them over to the VX, while the others feed a PBX. An ISDN PRI card in an.

• SIP signaling are interfaced over a single Ethernet link. Telos has people on-staff and access to consultants who are experienced with Asterisk and who can help you with regard to integrated Asterisk/VX installations. Feel free to call us with your questions and suggestions. • We often put an extra Ethernet card in the machine or buy a motherboard with two Ethernets on the board. One is configured one for the “inside” (LAN)” and one for the “public” (WAN), similar to the VX. 2-4G of RAM is fine, but more is better. Hard disks should be server-grade and kept well-cooled for longest life.

• noTes, ResouRCes, ADDITIonAl InFoRmATIon Keep any filters clear and inspect the machine periodically to see if ‘dust bunnies’ are col- lecting anywhere. Do a full backup using the Linux ‘DD’ (full disk image bit copy, or ‘clone’) command once in a while (quarterly/annually), or after you are satisfied that any major change you’ve made should be retained (after a trial period). • section 5 1 Get your ‘distro’ The most popular are at: www.digium.com ♦ pbxinaflash.net ♦ www.trixbox.org ♦ www.freepbx.org ♦ Download your distribution.

First, Let’s set up your ethernet IP address and get this box on your network so that you can get it going fully. At the ‘$’ prompt, type ‘netconfig’ and. You’ll get a blue screen (not like in windows, don’t worry!) asking if you’d like to set up networking. • VX because they are more flexible.

For example, station SIP signaling conveys caller ID, which the VX can display and use. SIP trunks, on the other hand, do not pass CID. The VX supports the required SIP registration when you enter the authentication password on the show configuration pages. • Create an extension that we’ll later use with the VX. ♦ Set up a trunk to accept incoming calls and to be used to make outgoing calls.

♦ Set up an ‘inbound route’ to tell incoming calls how to get to our extension on the VX. • Set up an outbound route so that you can make calls out ♦ Then we’ll use the VX web interface to use the line that we created and then make a test call. Finally, we’ll create a trunk from the PSTN and route calls from that trunk to our extension, all by using the web GUI. • noTes, ResouRCes, ADDITIonAl InFoRmATIon We see Recording Options and Voice Mail settings (You can record all calls or the extension user can dial a code while on the line to initiate recording of that call. Recording is optional, of course. • section 5 We enable the Vmx Locater. This is useful as it allows callers to be transferred to number inside or even outside of the system if 0, 1 or 2 is pressed.

Here ‘0’ is programmed to send callers to the station operator, ‘1’. • noTes, ResouRCes, ADDITIonAl InFoRmATIon In our example here, we only use Vitelity for incoming calls, so the ‘Outgoing Dial Rules’ are irrelevant. We could insert a period in the Dial Rules box that would simply pass whatever digits were dialed down the trunk to Vitelity. Keep in mind that this is just the trunk setup, and that there still has to be inbound and outbound routes to get calls into and out of the switch. • FreePBX GUI. Remember that if the show that uses extension 2222 is not selected on the VX (through the VSet or VX Producer software) calls to 2222 or the DID number routed to it will receive an “All. • We’re going to assume that you’ve done the basic setup of your VX.

That means you’ve got audio going and a VSet phone connected and talking to your VX engine, and it’s on the same network as your Asterisk box. • Extension 2222 has been verified as present. Now we’ll go to the VX Shows page and look at the show that we built earlier. It has a 6 line ‘hunt group’ for extension 2222 and a couple of “back lines” or hot lines. It’s a ‘hunt group’. • ResouRCes, ADDITIonAl InFoRmATIon Default IP Addresses: VX Engine ‘Network’ interface = 192.168.2.200 (front panel settable) VX Engine ‘WAN’ interface IP address: OFF by default, no IP set.

SIP Parameters Codecs supported as of early 2011: g.711 alaw and ulaw. • Livewire-equipped facilities, one RJ-45 jack connects dozens of audio channels and rich control to phones-like controllers, PC applications, integrated console controllers, etc. So I can use the VX with my regular 1MB POTS lines? Can I use ground start lines for incoming calls only? You can do that, and it’s not difficult. • ID, off-premise SIP extensions, and more, to a VX installation.

Asterisk is free Linux- based PBX software that runs on a PC. The VX and Asterisk PBX are an attractive combo we expect will become popular within the broadcast industry. • I know that SIP is supported by the new IP codecs. Will the VX be able to connect to my Zephyr/IP in the field?

Other codecs? As we hinted above, Yes! The VX supports g.722 (7khz, ‘wideband audio’. • MPEG-ELD in Apple’s ‘facetime app. Note that VX’s call audio processing is bypassed when using g.722.

OK, I am starting to see the light. Cool stuff, but where’s the catch?

Is VX hard to install and configure? Setup is via web. • VX is simpler than a multiple-box approach. With fewer components, it’s more reliable. At the time of this writing, no VX engine at a radio station has crashed, ever. We’ll probably have a contest to see who has the longest ‘uptime’.

Right now, it’s 6 months - but that system was. • When a caller chooses the option “go on the air,” the call is passed to the VX, where it may either be directly answered on-air or be fielded by a producer.
