Phone Interface Configuration
• Answer on specifies the number of rings at which the CMP500 will answer the incoming call. This can be set
from 1 to 9 rings.
• Hangup delay sets the number of seconds of silence to wait before for the CMP500 disconnects the call.
• Silence level is a value from 1 to 128, with a default of 3; Silence is basically the background noise on the line. The
goal is to use this setting in combination with the Vox level and Hangup delay to have the system automatically hangup
when it detects silence for a certain amount of time. The silence level should never be higher than the Vox level on the
Audio Codec page. In most cases the defaults are fine, but if you find that the system is hanging up on you unexpectedly,
or never hanging up, you may need to adjust these settings.
• Max call time terminates the call after the number of minutes specified regardless of the current audio state.
• Disable * for hangup if checked will prevent pressing *(star) from disconnecting when in a call.
• Disable startup security code if checked will disable the request to enter the numeric password when calling in
to the CMP500. Checking this option will also prevent recording because the Record password must be entered
to record new messages.
• Disable initial event prompt if checked will prevent the playing of the Control message. A CMP500 event or
Conductor trigger code can be entered immediately when calling in, either after entering the password or after the
call is answered if the password is disabled.

Phone 3-digit Extension Event Configuration
• Conductor Server IP address is the address of the DRS5000 or DRS-VM server where the Conductor information is
stored. This is needed so that, when issuing a code for a Conductor trigger, the server can be accessed to execute the
trigger. The default IP address is the DRS5000 or DRS-VM default and should be updated with your server’s IP address.
• Conductor trigger prefix are the characters to be used as the prefix when creating a trigger in Conductor to be
executed using the CMP500. The default is CMP but can be 1 to 5 alphanumeric characters. All triggers created in
Conductor that are to be accessed by calling in to the CMP500, need to have this prefix followed by three numeric
digits. (See Step 4 for more information on creating Conductor triggers.) NOTE: You are also able to invoke
Conductor triggers using the CMP500 events like you would with other FrontRow connected devices (i.e. CB6000,
CB2000). Doing so would use one of the ten built-in event slots so you may need to prioritize which events need to
be invoked this way.
