Telephone Handset

Innkeeper PBX will disable the microphone in the telephone hand-

set when you press the Broadcast button. Use your telephone to

place or screen a call. When you are ready to take the call on inn-

keeper PBX, simply press the Broadcast button. Innkeeper PBX

will automatically release the Hold (if Hold is used). Make sure

you do not put the telephone handset back in it's cradle while

you are on a call. This will still drop the call. Do not disconnect

or remove the handset during your call as this will change the

input impedance from the phone line and change the audio level.

If you need to take the call back on your telephone, press the

Handset button on innkeeper PBX. This will disable the inputs and

outputs on innkeeper PBX and connect your handset back to the

telephone. Your telephone will operate as a normal telephone any-

time you are in Handset mode. Leaving the hybrid connected to the

handset jack on your telephone will not affect normal use of your

telephone. Audio will only pass through the hybrid when you press

the Broadcast button.

Optional Jumper Settings

There is a jumper located inside the innkeeper PBX at J9 that af-

fects handset operation. The factory default closed position

(jumper covering both pins) disables only the handset microphone

when the Broadcast button is pressed. Changing the jumper to the

open position (either remove the jumper or cover just one pin) al-

lows you to completely disable both the handset microphone and

speaker when the Broadcast button is pressed.

If the incoming audio level from your telephone is too high and you

are consistently lighting the red –3dB Receive LED, first try de-

creasing the volume using the controls on the base of your tele-

phone. If you still cannot drop the incoming audio level enough,

and your unit was purchased after February 2007, you may need

to change jumper J10 inside innkeeper PBX. There are three pos-

sible settings to adjust Caller receive level:

Pins 1 & 2 closed = 0dB (factory default)

Pins 2 & 3 closed = -6dB

Pins 1-3 left open = -12dB

To change the jumper settings, first disconnect power from the inn-

keeper PBX, then remove the cover and locate the appropriate

jumpers on the printed circuit board.
