Telos Zephyr Xstream - Manual (Page 13)

USER’S MANUAL
Section 1: QUICK RESULTS 1
1 QUICK START – Step by Step Guide to Getting Running
Who can use this section?
You have just opened the carton containing a cool new Telos codec. We know how you feel.
You don’t want to sit around and read a manual. You want to plug‐in your new Zephyr Xstream
and hear what it can do. You want to connect to a distant location and be amazed at how audio
over ISDN connections or Ethernet is even better than ever. We know because we feel the same
way when we get a new, expensive, piece of gear.
As much as we understand your excitement, we ask you to please peruse the following to get
the most out of your Zephyr Xstream.
This manual is designed to fully instruct you on the capabilities of your Zephyr Xstream and to
provide you with interesting and useful information on audio coding and digital telephony.
(Unlike most other manuals, large sections don’t even require that you be sitting in front of the
product.) We hope you will take the time to read the manual. We trust you will enjoy it and
that it will provide you with new and useful information that you can use to impress others.
If you need to put the unit in service today, or have experience with other, similar equipment,
this section will allow you to get started quickly with your Zephyr Xstream.
“Quick Start” Is for You If You...
• Know how to dial a telephone call.
• Are not intimidated by looking at the front panel of the Zephyr Xstream.
• Are willing to erase all of the settings in your Zephyr Xstream that may have
been programmed (by others) before you got it.
• Have an ISDN line. (Before starting this process, US users should contact
their telephone company to verify that the line was installed exactly as
specified in the ISDN order instructions found in the appendix of this
manual.) Sorry, but there are too many variables when connecting via
Switched 56 or a dedicated digital service for us to include such a set‐up in
this “Quick Start.” If you are using a non‐ISDN setup see the instructions for
the X.21/V.35 option in Section 9 (The V.35/X.21 Interface).
• Understand and have before you all of the items listed in the section that
follows called “What you need before you start.”
• Understand that this “Quick Start” will only get you started and will not
answer all of your questions, or demonstrate all of the features of the
Zephyr Xstream.
• Promise to read the full manual later.
Now, let’s get started.
