Operation
Connecting Cables
Although each application will require a slightly different
setup, standard configuration is as follows:
Handset cable - Connect the supplied RJ-22 handset cable
between the jack marked "Phone" on the front or back of
PBXport and to the handset jack on the base of your tele-
phone.
Handset - Connect your telephone handset to the RJ-22 jack
on the front or back of the PBXport marked "Handset". You
must keep a handset connected at all times, even when you
are not using it.
Send Audio - Connect a microphone directly or a mixing con-
sole mix-minus output to the Send jack on the PBXport. Be
sure to set the PBXport mic/line switch to the proper position
for your application. Mic = microphone connected directly,
Line = line level output from your audio equipment. More
about mix-minus on page 5.
Caller Audio - Connect the Caller Out jack to a line level input
on your mixing console or audio equipment.
Power - Connect the supplied AC power cable to the back of
the PBXport and then to an AC power outlet.
Your PBXport is now ready to take calls.
PBXport will disable the telephone handset microphone when
you press the Online button. Use your telephone to place or
screen a call. When you are ready to take the call on
PBXport, simply press the Online button. Make sure you do
not put the handset back in it's cradle while you are on a call.
This will still drop the call even though the handset itself is
disabled. If you need to take the call back on your telephone,
simply press the Handset button on PBXport. This will disable

FAQs
? How do I connect a call through PBXport? Every
time I press the “Online” button, the call is discon-
nected.
! If you put the handset back in the cradle on the tele-
phone, it will depress the hook flash button on the phone
and your call will be disconnected. You should set the
handset down beside the telephone and only return it to
the cradle after your call is completed. You need to
leave the handset connected to one of the Handset
jacks on PBXport to maintain the correct impedance for
your telephone.
? The PBXport is not providing any/enough separa-
tion of Send and Caller audio.
! The A-B-C handset type selector switch must be set to
the correct position to send audio into the telephone.
Setup for this is covered on page 8. If you are connect-
ing the PBXport input and output(s) to the same device,
you must send a “mix-minus” signal into the Send jack
from your equipment. This setup is covered on page 5.
? Will PBX Port provide phantom power for my con-
denser microphone?
! No, our devices will not provide phantom power. If you
are connecting your microphone directly to PBX Port,
you should use a dynamic mic.
