Tip
Power-over-Ethernet and our ISDN-based Director use different connections for power. It
is wise to carefully label wiring used with RJ-style connectors to reduce the risk of applying
power to something that does not expect it. We suggest that you use different colored cables
(or connector boots) on the Desktop Director cables so that you can tell them from your
Ethernet cables.
Desktop Director Assembly
Connections
The black “curly cord” plugs into the handset. The other end of this cord should be plugged into
the small 4-position/4-pin miniature modular (RJ-22 style) jack near the front left of the unit.
This jack is identified with a telephone handset icon and is closest to the front of the Director.
The second jack at this location can be used to directly connect a telephone headset and is
identified with a headset icon. Route these cables through the small slots to the left so they do
not interfere with the unit sitting flat on the table.
When a headset is attached, it will automatically mute the handset microphone to prevent
extraneous noise. Disconnecting the “quick-connect” inline connector on the headset cable will
re-enable the handset microphone.
Tip
We have tested and recommend the Plantronics model P51-U10P “Supra Polaris noise-can-
celing unamplified monaural” or model P61-U10P “Supra Polaris noise-canceling unamplified
binaural “ headsets for direct connection to the Desktop Director. www.plantronics.com.
Other headsets can be used; however an external amplifier/interface would be required
between Desktop Director’s handset jack and the handset to interface to the headset.
Line Designation Strip
The Desktop Director ships with several pre-cut paper designation strips to allow labeling the
lines of the Director. Place the paper strip on the director and then cover with the clear plastic
protector, inserting the plastic tabs in the slots on the Director to hold it in place. Should you
decide to change things later, simply lift one end of the plastic and slide out the strip.
Mounting Options
The Desktop Director legs can be mounted in an alternative vertical orientation. To do so,
remove the legs by removing the two Phillips head screws on each leg. The legs can then be
mounted in the alternative orientation using the same screws.
The Desktop Director can be mounted on a wall or other vertical surface. First remove the legs
by removing the two Phillips head screws on each leg. The unit can then be hung from two
screws on 5 inch (127 mm) centers. Care should be taken that the screws do not protrude more
than 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the mounting surface.
2.9 Ethernet
The Ethernet 100Base-T port is used for Web-based configuration, connection to Telos Assis-
tant Producer and other software applications, and interface to Livewire networked studio audio
components.
