You can easily build a control cable to go between the 1A2 interface and the Hx that connects the on, off and ground signals. Then plug your analog line into the “main” (hybrid #1) or “conf ”

(hybrid #2) jack on the 1A2 interface, as appropriate.

Connect to a Telos Direct Interface Module

Using the Hx, or any hybrid supporting disconnect supervision with the Direct Interface

Module (DIM) requires an external source of loop current. The DIM provides only a “dry” transformer audio feed which worked well with the simpler hybrids of the time. Visit the Telos website or contact support for several options that will allow you to use the Hx with the DIM.

2.8 Quick Basic Test

It’s all connected, Now it’s time to check for signs of life!

First, Power the unit up and watch it complete its self test.

If the phone line is connected properly, a “dot” should be present on the display, if a minus “-” is displayed the Hx does not detect the line voltage on the idle POTS line. Check your wiring!

If your Hx is directly connected to a phone line, press the [ON] key and dial tone should be present on the Hx’s output and RCV bargraph.

If you have your Hx connected to a 1A2 interface, press a line key on the switch console. The

Hx should come on and dial tone should be heard on it’s output and seen on the RCV bargraph.

Pressing the ‘drop’ key should release it, and the ‘hold’ key should put the line on hold. The display will show a minus “-” to indicate that a line is not detected. This is because the 1A2 interface only routes a line to the Hx when one is selected by the user, and is present.

Verify correct mix minus operation at this point by noting that the RCV bargraph shows the dial tone at at a nominal level, and that the SND bargraph shows only the microphone or audio present on the device feeding the Hx SEND IN. The goal of a proper mix minus is to prevent the hybrid from ‘hearing itself ’.
