General Information
The Revolabs FLX2 Conference Phone includes several components which, in the sum,
make up the conferencing phone. The components are the Charger Base, Speaker,
Microphones and Dialer (handset).
In addition, the Base Station receives the wireless signals from those components and
connects to your VoIP network for conference calls, with your video conferencing unit to
provide outstanding audio for your video calls, or to your Bluetooth enabled device such
as a cell phone or computer.

7
Quick setup for VoIP Conference Calls
While all components delivered with the Revolabs FLX2 Conference Phone are partially
charged, we recommend charging the Speaker, the Microphones, and the Dialer for at
least 8 hours or overnight before starting to use the system.
Connecting the Base Station
Place the Base Station close to the Ethernet outlet
you want to use for the conference phone.
Connect the Base Station to the network using the
provided Ethernet cable. The Base Station is
powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE). This
requires your Ethernet outlet to provide PoE.
Please check with your IT department that PoE is
available. If the base station does not power up
after you connect it to the network outlet, this
outlet might not be providing PoE.
If your network does not support PoE, please
contact your reseller. Revolabs provides a power
injector that can be bought through your reseller,
which adds the necessary power to that Ethernet
connection.
Connecting the Charger Base
Place the Charger Base at a location where you
can easily access the Microphones and the
Speaker for your conference calls, e.g. on a side
board, a desk, or the conference table. Connect
the Charger Base to the power outlet using the
provided power supply. Place the Speaker, the
Microphones, and the Dialer in the respective
openings of the Charger Base to charge them.
The Dialer and Speaker will automatically connect
to the Base Station after a short time if it is
powered up. You will hear a confirmation chime
from the Speaker once the system is ready for
use. If the Speaker or the Dialer is not powered
up, take them out of the Charger Base for a few
seconds and put them back in. This will switch on
the component.
To switch on the microphones
take them out of the charger
base. They will automatically
power up and connect to the
base station.

VoIP configuration
For the FLX phone to work within a VoIP environment the phone has to be set up to
communicate to the telephone switch. You will also have to enable the extension (user)
you want to use with the FLX on your switch. Please review your switch documentation
on information on how to do that. For the minimal setup, in the FLX Handset you will
have to provide information on the IP connection to the telephone switch. To do this
visit Setup – Advanced Setup – Network Settings – VOIP Settings. Under Registrar,
provide the IP address or host name of your IP PBX. Username should be the
extension or name under which you want to register this phone on the IP PBX. In
Password, provide the password for this username. If no values are provided for ID and
Display Name, the Username entry will be used for them. Select ‘Reload Settings’ after
you have set the values in the handset, which will restart the base.
For enhanced settings the Web Interface provided by the FLX needs to be used. Go to
page 49 for a description of the web interface.
Making a call
To make a conference call, take at least one of the Microphones out of the Charger
Base, and take the Dialer out of the Charger Base. You can remove all Microphones
and the Speaker if you wish, but this is not required. Use the Dialer to enter the number
you want to call, including any leading digits your VoIP telephone switch might require.
The Speaker and any Microphone that is not in the Charger Base will be active during
the call. To finish a conference call, press the red hang-up button on the Dialer.
NOTE: It is also possible to have a conference call with the
microphones in the charger base. However, due to the
proximity of microphone and speaker at that time, audio
quality might be impacted. The maximum volume of the
speaker is limited while the microphones are in the charger
base. Microphones that are placed into the charger base are
switched off. To use microphones in the charger base for
phone calls they first have to be switched on. You do this by
pressing the button on the microphone while it is in the
charger. The microphone will start in a muted state. Once it
starts blinking red, unmute it by pressing the mute button once
again. Microphones in the charger base never transmit audio
to the AUX OUT connector. If any microphone is active
outside of the charger base, microphones in the charger base
cannot be activated (unmuted) for the call.
To make a call using the Dialer as a handset, make sure that all Microphones are in the
Charger Base before starting to dial the number. At this point, only the Dialer will be
used for the call. To end the call, press the red hang-up button on the Dialer.
At any time during a call you can toggle between handset and conference phone mode
using the buttons on the Dialer.

9
To answer a call using the conference phone, simply remove one or more Microphones
from the Charger Base when the Speaker rings. If a microphone is already out of the
charger base when an incoming call comes in, pressing the button on the microphone
will answer the call in conference phone mode. You can also use the Dialer to answer
the call by pressing the green call button on the handset. If all microphones are in the
charger at this time, the call will be answered using the handset mode. If at least one
microphone is switched on and not in the charger base, this will answer the call in
Conference phone mode.

Installing FLX2 Components
The Revolabs FLX2TM System is comprised of several components that work together
to provide you with a great wireless conferencing system. These components must be
setup correctly for optimal performance of the system.
FLX2 Base Station
The Base Station is the wireless receiver and sender of the audio stream from the
Microphones and to the Speaker, as well as to the Dialer. It features the ability to
connect two Revolabs FLX Microphones and one Speaker wirelessly.
The Base Station is designed to optimize audio and video conferencing by providing
consistent audio input from all participants.
The FLX2 VoIP Base Station is shown in rear panel view below. It is equipped with an
Ethernet/power connection, two mini-USB ports for firmware updates, and analog audio
input/output connections for video conferencing collaboration or for recording.

cables and power supplies to perform a VoIP conference call.
Other types of conference calls performed with FLX2 may
require additional cables that are not part of the delivery.
