OVERVIEW • OPERA IONAL REQUIREMEN S 9
Operational
Requirements
Telephone Line Requirements
he S612 requires analog (PO S) telephone lines or analog extension
lines from a PBX that fully emulates analog lines (loop-start plus
battery).
For the best performance, Gentner Communications recommends that
you connect directly to telephone-company provided PO S lines, rather
than PBX extensions.
o simplify S612 installation with PO S lines, request that your
telephone company provide lines with an RJ21X connector (wired
according to the pinout table on page 11). If your telephone company
provides only individual lines with RJ11C connectors, an RJ11 interface
panel may be ordered from Gentner (part number 676-550-001). If you
plan to loop through the S612 to your business-telephone system,
make sure you have the loop-extension cable prewired to prevent dis-
ruption to your business telephone service.
If you use analog extensions of your business PBX, use a separate
extension for each telephone-line input at the S612. Remember that
these lines cannot contain digitized audio or telephone-set control
signals. he S612 (handset) can transfer calls to another PBX
extension provided the PBX extension supports hook flash commands.
If you are uncertain whether the your PBX extensions are analog, a
good (although not infallible) test is to connect to an external modem or
fax machine. If the modem or fax operates correctly, the line will
probably work with the S612. o set up analog loop-start extensions for
the S612, contact your PBX system provider.
Power Requirements
he S612 mainframe will accommodate 85–240 Vac, 50–60 Hz and
uses 30 watts of power maximum, in accordance with the supplied
power module. International customers should request that the dealer
provide a molded power cord (grounded) with the appropriate plug.
he S612 control surface will accommodate 12 Vdc 500 mA, in
accordance with the supplied power module. he supplied wall adapter
operates on 117 Vac unless your dealer ordered the 220 Vac version.
Equipment Placement
he S612 mainframe fits a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Do not block ventilation
holes when installing the
mainframe in a19-inch
equipment rack.

he S612 connects to six or 12 telephone lines, depending on your
hardware configuration. he basic configuration supports six lines. For
instructions on installing the expansion cards to increase S612
capacity to 12 lines, see page 12.
Telephone Connections
Six or 12 telephone lines may be connected to the each of the main-
frame’s two 50-pin Centronix connectors (RJ21X). Phone Lines In is a
male connector. Phone Lines Out is a female connector.
Connecting six or 12 telephone lines to the Phone Lines Out connector
on the mainframe enables the loop-out function of the S612. Lines not
in use by the S612 are then available for use on a separate telephone
system.

Line Expansion
A six line S612 is shipped from the factory configured for six telephone
lines. You may expand a six line system to 12 lines by adding two
additional telco cards. Cards must be installed in sets of two in order for
the system to function properly. Once line expansion is completed, lines
7–12 are active on your control surface.
Follow the step-by-step instructions below to ensure proper installation
of additional elco cards:
1) Remove the top cover of the mainframe chassis by loosening four
screws; two on each of the mainframe side panels. Lift the top off
carefully.
2) Find the two empty PCB card slots. hey are located on the left-hand
side of the mainframe when it is viewed from the front.
3) Carefully insert the two expansion cards into the two expansion
slots. Either card can be placed in either slot. Be careful that the cards
are inserted correctly. he component side of the PCB must be toward
the left side of the chassis, the same as previously installed cards.
Press down gently to make certain the cards are seated completely.
4) Place the top chassis cover back onto the mainframe and tighten
the four screws.
5) Reconnect the mainframe to your power source.

he S612 may be used as a single-studio or dual-studio system. In a
single-studio setting, the S612 operates as a dual-hybrid telephone
system, with up to 12 lines and three control surfaces: main/studio 1,
aux/studio 2, and screener. he main/studio 1, aux/studio 2 control
surfaces have parallel control of all on-air functions.
In a dual-studio setting, the S612 operates as two single-hybrid
telephone systems. A dual-studio system must have the 12-line
expansion installed or switch #4 activated to operate. As a split-studio
configuration, lines 1–6 and hybrid 1 are dedicated to studio 1, and
lines 7–12 and hybrid 2 are dedicated to studio 2 unless switch 4 is acti-
vated in which case lines 1–12 are shared by both studios. he studio
control surfaces operate independently of each other, while the
screener control surface can screen lines for either studio. he
configurations for single-studio and dual-studio systems are discussed
in detail on the following pages.

Single-Studio Mixed Caller
In mixed-caller mode, all calls placed to air are routed to the audio
console through the Main Caller output regardless of which hybrid a
call is routed through. Each of the S612’s two hybrids has two call slots.
his allows up to four calls to be placed to air simultaneously by
conferencing them together.
DIP Switch Settings. For mixed-caller mode, DIP switch 1 should be
up. DIP switch 3 determines the mix-minus setup for the configuration. If
DIP switch 3 is in the up position, the S612’s internal mix-minus feature
is active. Full program audio (including the caller audio) may be routed
to the Main Send input. Caller audio will be removed by the S612
before transmitting the signal back to the caller.
If DIP switch 3 is in the down position, external mix-minus must be
provided. Caller audio must be removed from the program mix before
routing the signal to the Send input.

Single-Studio Split Caller
In split-caller mode when conference mode is enabled, caller audio is
routed to the audio console through both Caller outputs (Main and Aux)
as shown in the diagram below. he advantage of split-caller mode is
that caller audio is separated into two audio signals that may be
connected to separate inputs on your audio console. Calls are routed to
the hybrids (placed on-air) in the order they are added to the
conference. See the table on the right for more information. Hybrid 1
audio is routed to the Main Caller output. Hybrid 2 audio is routed to the
Aux Caller Output.
DIP Switch Settings. For split-caller mode, DIP switch 6 should be
down. DIP switch 3 determines the mix-minus setup for the
configuration. If DIP switch 3 is in the up position, the S612’s internal
mix-minus feature is active. Full program audio (including the caller
audio) may be routed to the Main Send input. Caller audio will be
removed by the S612 before transmitting the signal back to the caller.
If DIP switch 3 is in the down position, external mix-minus must be
provided. Caller audio from both Caller outputs (Main and Aux) must be
removed from the program mix before routing the signal to the Main
Send input.

Single-Studio Split-H brid
In split-hybrid mode, the two hybrids operate independently. Caller
audio is routed to the audio console through both Caller outputs (Main
and Aux) in the same manner as split-caller mode. he primary
difference is that the hybrids receive program audio through two
separate Send inputs (Main and Aux). As in split-caller mode, Hybrid 1
audio is routed to the Main Caller output and Hybrid 2 audio is routed to
the Aux Caller output.
DIP Switch Settings. For split-hybrid mode, DIP switch 7 should be
down. he recommended mix-minus setting for split hybrid mode is DIP
switch 3 down. his setting requires external mix-minus. he audio mix
routed to the Main Send input should not have callers two and three
mixed in. Likewise, the Aux Send audio input should not have callers
one and four mixed in. his allows the studio console operator to adjust
the caller to caller level between the two S612 hybrids.
For configurations
requiring internal mix-
minus, we recommend that
you use Split-Caller Mode. You will
only have to provide one program
mix from the studio console to the
TS612.

Dual-Studio
In this configuration, the S612 operates as two single-hybrid telephone
systems in either split or shared mode.
Split Mode. In split mode, the two talent control surfaces operate
independently. Studio 1 controls lines 1–6 and studio 2 controls lines
7–12. he screener accesses all 12 lines to screen calls for either talent.
All calls placed to air by studio 1 are routed to the audio console
through the Main Caller output. All calls placed to air by studio 2 are
routed to the audio console through the Aux Caller output. Because
each of the S612’s two hybrids has two call slots, each studio can
conference a maximum of two calls together.
DIP Switch Settings. For dual-studio mode, DIP switch 1 should be
down. DIP switch 3 determines the mix-minus setup. If DIP switch 3 is
up, the S612’s internal mix-minus feature is active. Studio 1 program
audio (including the caller audio) may be routed to the Main Send input
and Studio 2 program audio may be routed to the Aux Send input.
Caller audio is removed by the S612 before returning to the caller.
If DIP switch 3 is down, external mix-minus must be provided. Caller
audio must be removed from the program mix by each studio console
before routing the signal to a Send input.
Shared Mode. In shared mode, both studios have control of all 12
lines and can see when a line is in use by the other studio.
If DIP switch 4 is down (shared mode), Studio 1 and Studio 2 have
access to all 12 lines.
