Chapter 1 Overview
The CTI series SHT-2B/USB and SHT-4B/USB are the voice boxes using analog telephone lines
and USB1.1 interface. With various functional modules configured in a different way, they can
work as virtual, station or trunk phones to accept incoming calls.
1.1 Functions
zEquipped with an audio amplifier, a speaker (able to simulate ringing) and an audio
output port to directly drive the speaker in headset or phone handset.
zDetects the ringing current on the trunk channel, the pickup/hangup behavior on the
station channel, the phone line voltage and the polarity reversal. Transmits the ringing
current.
zThe trunk and station channels are connected directly during power outage, which
improves the system security to a great extent.
zAutomatically checks the USB voice box to determine the model and number of modules
installed on it.
zUses SPECDial - a professional driver algorithm - to perform a complete automatic dial
process through analog lines, accurately identify called-party statuses and precisely
determine whether the answering is from the subscriber, the answering machine or the
fax machine.
zCalling party info (Caller ID) detection/transmission, DTMF and FSK support; adopts the
echo cancellation algorithm conforming to the telecom standard; supports the Barge-in
feature for IP phone application and speech recognition.
zSupports signal modulation and demodulation, enabling communication of FSK signals
with such information terminals as PDA and information phones.
zSupports simultaneous full-duplex recording and playback on 4 channels, each with a
different format (CCITT A/μ-Law 64kbps or IMA ADPCM 32kbps)
zProgrammable tone analyzer detects all kinds of tones on analog channels
zAutomatic Gain Control (AGC) support in recording operation
zAdaptive echo cancellation

SHT-2B/USB doesn’t include LINE3 and LINE4;
②
Because MIC, LINE1 and the handset microphone are connected in parallel, only one of
them could be used at a time;
③
HANDSET and SPK are connected in parallel. That means audio signals are output from
these two jacks synchronously;

the bus, will be output through SPK;
⑤
When MIC or the microphone of HANDSET is used for recording, the 1st channel must be
set to a ‘Microphone Recording Channel’;
⑥
The minimum interval between insertion and extraction of the USB data line should not be
shorter than 9S.
2.2 Label Description
There are three channel types ‘handset (headset)’, ‘trunk’ and ‘station’ which respectively indicate
the microphone recording channel, the trunk channel and the station channel. The serial number is
denoted by Arabic figures and each product has a unique serial number.
2.3 System Requirements
To ensure the proper operation of the USB voice box, the computer hardware and software
configurations must meet the following requirements:
zHost System Requirements
CPU: 300 MHz Intel® Pentium® II or above
RAM: Each USB voice box needs at least 1 MByte RAM
HD: At least 1Gbyte remaining disk space
Interface: Each USB voice box needs a USB interface
zSupported Operating Systems
Refer to SynCTI Programmer’s Manual.pdf.
2.4 Installation Procedure

Step 2: Connect to the headset or the phone handset
When the 1st channel is configured to be the ‘handset (headset)’ channel, the headset or handset
can be used to implement the feature of ‘virtual phone’. The installation is shown in Figure 2-4.
Hint: Skip Step 4 if the headset is installed in this step.
Notes:
①
Do not connect the analog phone line to the ‘Handset (Headset)’ channel;
②
When implementing the feature of ‘virtual phone’, you may use the embedded speaker in
the USB voice box or the headset to make rings, but still need application software to
support the dialing and the pickup/hangup control. For more details, refer to ‘SynCTI
Programmer’s Manual’.
Step 3: Connect to the ringing current & battery feed power supply
Skip this step if there is no station channel.
Note:
The ringing current and battery feed power supply is also required to be connected when trunk

channels and station channels are used at a same time. It has no effect on trunk channels.
Step 4: Connect the sound box or other appropriate sound devices
Skip this step if there is no need to ‘monitor in real time’ or ‘play’, or the headset/handset has been
installed in Step 2.
Regarding how to choose proper sound devices, refer to ‘Input/output Interface’ and ‘Audio
Specifications’ in Appendix A Technical Specifications.
Step 5: Connect the USB voice box and the PC by USB data lines (See Figure 2-5)
Note: The USB voice box is not allowed to share the same USB port on the PC with other USB
devices.
Step 6: Install the driver
If it’s the first time to install the USB voice box on the PC, please run the installation program in the
driver installation package before Step 5; otherwise, the driver will be installed by the operating
system automatically. Regarding driver installation, refer to SynCti_InstManual.pdf.
Note: If the installation error occurs, remove the USB data line from the PC. Plug it and install the
driver again.

zAs the system is expected to run for long hours unmannedly, ‘energy-saving’ mode
should be turned off for both the CPU and the HD in CMOS or WINDOWS operating
system. This is to ensure full-speed operation of the computer, or it may lead to a drop in
performance or unexpected errors after running for some time.
zA chassis installed with the USB voice box must be grounded for safety reasons,
according to standard industry requirements. A simple way is earthing with the third pin
on the plug. No or improper grounding may cause instability in operation as well as
decrease in lightning resistance.
