2 Getting Oriented
This Quick Start section will walk you step- by- step through setting the unit up and
placing calls. This section includes an introduction to the
XPORT
and includes the basic
information required to get you up and running in a hurry. First, we'll cover the front
and rear panels.
In Section 3 (The Details), we'll cover the audio section and mixer, as well as additional
details such as creating auto dials, using ISDN, use with a cell phone, and how to
transmit audio from your computer using Ethernet.
2.1 Quick Start
This section will get you up and running quickly. We will use a microphone and
headphones. We will place a call to the Telos test line so you can verify correct operation
of the unit.

HOT TIP! The Xport is intended to be used in conjunction with a Telos Zephyr
Xstream back at the studio. An Xport cannot call another Xport, nor can it communicate
with POTS codecs that use proprietary coding methods.
The Xport can also be used to call any Telephone or hybrid, however in that case the
results will be standard telephone quality audio.
You have just opened the carton containing the latest Telos codec product. We know
how you feel. You don’t want to sit around and read a manual. You want to plug- in your
new Zephyr
XPORT
and hear what it can do. You want to connect to hear how audio
over POTS connections is better than ever. We know because we feel the same way when
we get a new, 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
XPORT
.
This manual is designed to instruct you on the basic capabilities of your Zephyr
XPORT
.
We also provide you with links to interesting and useful information about advanced
level features, audio coding, and digital telephony on our website. We hope you will take
the time to read the manual.
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
XPORT
.
