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. Figure 5-1 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 Figure 5-2.
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.
Figure 5-3 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.
