TELOS 2101 USER’S MANUAL
1Introduction – What is the Series 2101 Hub?
The 2101 Hub is a highly specialized microprocessor-controlled telephone switch,
optimized for easy management and flexible control. It supports up to two Telco
Trunk Interfaces cards to connect to the digital trunks from your telephone company.
Each Telco interface supports one or two Telco circuits, for a total capacity of up to
four circuits. The 2101 hub also has up to 32 T-Link interface ports that are the “Line
side” interface from the System Hub to the 2101 Studio Interface(s) and Desktop
Directors™. Each Studio Interface acts similarly to a “Key” telephone system, with
12-24 “lines” coming from the Hub.
A significant feature of the system hub is the fact that it can be easily configured with
a number of Show Configurations. Each Show Configuration assigns a specific group
of “line appearances” to a specific Studio Interface. Lines may be shared among one
or more Show Configurations, if desired.
An IP (Internet Protocol) connection over 10/100 Base-T Ethernet allows
communication directly between the 2101 Hub and the Studio Interfaces to
accomplish coordination and control.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
Before connecting AC Mains power, you must check the power supply
voltage select switches. You must loosen the small knurled knob and
open the power supply compartment to expose the two power supplies.
Each power supply has a voltage select switch that can be set to either
120 Volts AC or 240 volts AC. e

Models with the dual redundant power supply will have a door near the power jack. Inside
this door are the two power supplies. Make sure to check the voltage settings on both of
these power supplies.
The Telos 2101 Hub Configuration Web Pages are used to configure the Hub and
create Show Configurations. See Section 4 for details on this.
As you will recall from Part II of this manual, the hub connects to each 2101 studio
interface, as illustrated on the next page.
