Getting Connected 9. If your mixer doesn’t have a mix-minus bus: Whichever input channel you have the connected to, turn the corresponding Aux control to minimum. All Aux controls for other channels should be set for audio sent to the phone line. Each Aux Send bus is completely separate from all other outputs, so these Aux controls will not affect what is heard on the Main outputs or on any other Aux buses.
Configuration A-B-C Selector Switch Use this switch to select the correct type of handset microphone your telephone uses. A=Electret, B=Carbon, C=Dynamic. Your innkeeper PBX will only function correctly if the handset type selector switch is in the correct position.

FAQs 1. Will innkeeper PBX work with my ___ PBX phone system? Probably yes. We have to say probably because the handset interface is proprietary and therefore can change from model to model. We have no way of predicting how a phone manufacturer will use the handset wires in the future. The three handset microphone types that we support, electret, dynamic and carbon, cover every handset microphone type that we have seen in use, but the wire diagrams can change without notice. 2.
FAQs 8. Why does my laptop / tablet not receive audio from the innkeeper PBX for recording? Many newer laptops / tablets only have a TRRS headset jack. If you want to record 2 track stereo audio, you will need to either get a sound card with a stereo line level input for your laptop or use a USB or FireWire interface product. 9. How do I record onto my computer and edit the files? You will need to purchase or download any audio editing software of your choice.
