Connecting to an IP Network for VoIP Calling
The FLX UC 1000 and FLX UC 1500 are designed to be powered using 802.3af,
Power over Ethernet (PoE). If you have an Ethernet port that does not provide
PoE, a PoE Power Injector can be ordered from Revolabs to provide the device
with power.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the network connection port on the
bottom of the base unit using the port highlighted in the picture above. Press
the Ethernet connector until it clicks into place. Connect the other end of the
Ethernet cable into a jack providing PoE or a PoE adapter.
If the Ethernet cable needs to be removed from the FLX UC 1000 or FLX UC
1500, be sure to depress the plastic lever on the connection to the base unit
and pull the cable out gently. Using force when removing this cable may
damage the cable and render it useless.
Once connected to a power source, the device will begin the boot up process.
The lights on the base will alternate red-orange-green-orange as the system
boots. When it is ready to use, the base will chime and the dialer will display
the home screen.
In order to place and receive VoIP calls, your FLX UC 1000 or FLX UC 1500 will
need to be registered with a call manager. See the section in this document
called “Configuring the FLX UC 1000 or FLX UC 1500 for your VoIP Network”
to register your device with a call manager. If desired, the device can be used
with a computer with or without being connected to a call manager by following
the directions in the “Connecting to a Computer” section.

12
Connecting to a Computer
Using the included USB cable, connect the mini USB side of the cable into the
port identified by the icon in the figure below.
Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on the computer running
the third party softphone, webinar, or conferencing application.
The computer may detect new driver software and install it; wait until the
install has completed before continuing. A white USB symbol will be shown on
the FLX UC 1000 or FLX UC 1500 dialer when the computer is connected.
For optimal audio performance when using a Window computers, please follow
the instructions in the appendix section. No additional configuration is
required when using Apple OS X or Chrome OS devices.
If a USB cable longer than the length of the one provided is required, an
approved USB extender should be used. The following USB extenders have
been tested and approved for use with the FLX UC 1000 or FLX UC 1500.
Please note the distance supported by each USB extender varies and is defined
by the manufacturer’s specifications:
USB Ranger 2212 Cat 5 Extender (IC2212R-05-307276) from Icron
Technologies
USB 1.1 Rover 1850 Single Port Cat 5e extender from Icron
Gefen USB 2.0 Extender
Extron USB Extender

13
Connecting Extension Mics
The FLX UC 1500 includes two ports on the base unit to connect the two wired
extension microphones. Connect an extension microphone to one of the
microphone ports on the base unit as identified in the picture below. Repeat
for the second extension microphone.

Base Unit
In both the FLX UC 1000 and FLX UC 1500, the base unit houses the speaker
elements and four embedded microphones. On the top of the device are five
capacitive touch buttons for: volume up, volume down, mute, answer call, and
end call.
On the four corners of the base unit, LED lights display the call status. Three
different states correspond to the color of the LEDs:
Call State

Green
Call Mute
Red
Idle
Configurable: Amber, Solid Green, or
No Light

15
Ports on the bottom of the base unit are used to connect the dialer, the USB
cable, and Ethernet cable for the FLX UC 1000, and additionally two extension
microphones on the FLX UC 1500.
Dialer
The dialer has four categories of buttons:
Quick Keys: menu, redial, answer call/new call, hang up
Soft Keys: 4 keys under the color display that correspond to changing
menu options presented on the display
Keypad: for entering numbers, letters, and special characters
Directional, Volume Control and Mute: for navigating the menus on the
display, adjusting the volume and toggling mute on/off
Quick Keys
The Menu button provides access to the main menu for the FLX UC 1000 or
FLX UC 1500. When already in a menu or submenu, pressing the menu
button will return the display to the home screen.
The Redial button will redial the last number used to place an outgoing call.

Answer Call/New Call and End Call buttons provide the same features as the
capacitive touch buttons on the top of the base unit. The Answer Call/New
Call Button, labeled with the green phone icon, provides the ability to answer
an incoming call. It can also be used to open the dialer menu to place a new
call.
The End Call Button, labeled with the red phone icon, provides the ability to
disconnect from an existing call.
Soft Keys
Soft keys are used to navigate through menu options, and each button
corresponds to the grey box on the display above the button. The soft keys
provide different options depending on the current dialer screen.
If a menu has more than four options the soft key on the far right will
correspond to an option for [MORE>]. Pressing this key will navigate to the next
set of menu options. In the second set of menu options the soft key on the far
right will correspond to an option for [<MORE] to allow navigation back to the
first set of menu options.
Some menus have less than four options. When this happens the space above
unused soft keys will be blank to indicate the soft keys that have no function
on the screen.
Keypad
The keypad provides access to numbers, alphabet characters, and special keys
such as *, #, space, and period which are typical on phone keypads.
When entering contacts in the FLX UC 1000 or FLX UC 1500, the keypad
buttons can be used to enter the alphanumeric values. When the button is
first pressed, the first letter shown above the button will be entered in lower
case. By pressing the button subsequent times, the character will iterate
through the other lower case letters, then the number, then upper case letters.
This sequence will repeat again from the beginning if the end of the series is
reached and the button is pressed again.
For example, the number “2” provides access to the letters a, b, and c; when
depressed multiple times, this button would iterate through the following
sequence:
a b c 2 A B C a b c 2 A B C
The button with “1” provides no other characters.

17
The * key cycles through the following sequence:
* . , - _ ( ) @ and then repeats
The # key cycles through the following sequence
# space and then repeats (space is a “ “)
When dialing a number that begins with a plus sign (“+”), press and hold the 0
button until the “+”appears.
Directional, Volume Control & Mute
The directional buttons include left, right, up, down to navigate menu options
and “OK” for making a selection.
In general, the up and down keys are used to select different submenu options,
where the right and left keys are used to select new menus or return to the
previous menu.
Pressing the “OK” button corresponds to one of two actions on the display:
[Select] to select menus or toggle configuration items, or [Back] to exit the
menu and return to the previous parent menu.
When editing a configuration item that uses a slider bar, the left and right
arrow keys are used to change the value in the slider.
The volume control and mute buttons perform the same function as the
buttons on the base unit. The speaker volume can be increased or decreased
using the volume up and volume down buttons. The microphones on the FLX
UC 1000 and FLX UC 1500 are muted using the mute button on the dialer.
The mute/unmute button is only functional during an active call or when USB
audio is active.

18
User Interface
Base Unit
The base unit provides volume up, volume down, mute, answer call, and hang-
up buttons. Mute status will be reflected on the LEDs on the four corners of
the device; during a call, these LEDs will be green when the system is unmuted
and red when the system is muted.
When not in a call, the lights can be configured for an idle color with options of
solid amber, solid green, or unlit (default). In order to change this color, an
administrator can log into the web UI or use the settings menu on the dialer to
configure the desired idle color.
For additional call control functionality, i.e. using the device buttons to hang
up and answer calls using the preferred third party softphone, webinar, or
conferencing application, refer to section in this manual on FLX UC Device
Manager.
Dialer
The display on the dialer presents a series of screens as an interface for using
the device and configuring device settings. The details of those screens are
described in this section.
