8 Operating a v-Station
The v-station expansion panel, referred to as the “v-station,” gives you separate rotary
control knobs for adjusting source listen levels, with a real-time visual display of listen
levels as you adjust them. The v-station’s four level-control modules (v-modules) allow you
to adjust listen levels for 16 individual sources. v-Station Expansion Panel illustrates a v-
station expansion panel.
Figure 5-1: v-Station Expansion Panel
One v-station controls the listen levels for the upper row of key assignments on the I-
Series panel or I-Series expansion panel. A second v-station controls the listen levels for
the lower row of key assignments on the I-Series panel or I-Series expansion panel, as
shown in Two v-stations control and display listen levels for one I-.
Note that any v-station rotary control knob associated with a “clear” or “answer-back” key
on an I-Series panel does not operate, as those keys have special functions.
A v-station connects to an I-Series panel through RJ-45 connectors labeled “expansion in”
and “expansion out” on the rear of each panel. Connecting two v-stations to an I-Series
panel shows how to wire the panels using CAT-5 cable.
If you connect two v-stations to an I-Series panel, the v-station connected to the I-Series
panel’s “expansion out” connector controls the volume for the sources assigned to the I-
Series panel’s upper row of keys. The next v-station, which connects to the first v-station’s
“expansion out” connector, controls the listen levels for the sources assigned to the I-
Series panel’s lower row of keys.
V-station panels are no longer available to new sales.
