FAQs
?
Will Universal Host work with my phone system?
! Probably yes. The three handset microphone types that we
support, electret, dynamic and carbon, cover every handset
microphone type that we have seen in use, but the wiring in
each phone can change without notice. Universal Host works
with virtually any PBX, ISDN, VoIP or even a plain old analog
telephone as long as the telephone has a standard handset.
?
Will your digital hybrid provide phantom power for a
condenser mic?
! No, this device will not provide phantom power. If you connect
your mic directly to the Universal Host, use a dynamic mic.
?
Why can't I dial out on my phone and I hear a lot of noise on
the call?
! The Universal Host will not work with any telephone that has a
keypad in the handset. You need to use a telephone with a
standard handset.
? Can Universal Host auto-answer or auto-disconnect?
! No, the handset cord on your phone is only active if the handset
is off-hook. This must be done manually. So there is no way to
auto-disconnect. You must return the handset to the cradle.
?
I have everything connected correctly. Why can't the caller
hear me?
! There are two things you should check: First, the position of the
A-B-C switch which will probably use either setting A or C. Next,
you cannot use the speakerphone function on your telephone
during your recording. Universal Host accesses audio through
the handset cord. With the speakerphone turned on, there is no
audio going through the handset. You must use a microphone.
? Can I still use my phone to take regular calls or do I have to
disconnect the Universal Host when I am not using it?
! You can leave the Universal Host in place and your telephone
will continue to operate normally. Audio will only pass through
the hybrid when you press the “Online” button.
