charger base when an incoming call comes in, pressing the button on the microphone will answer the call in conference phone mode. You can also use the Dialer to answer the call by pressing the green call button on the handset. If all microphones are in the charger at this time, the call will be answered using the handset mode. If at least one microphone is switched on and not in the charger base, this will answer the call in Conference phone mode.
Installing FLX2 Components The Revolabs FLX2TM System is comprised of several components that work together to provide you with a great wireless conferencing system. These components must be setup correctly for optimal performance of the system. FLX2 Base Station The Base Station is the wireless receiver and sender of the audio stream from the Microphones and to the Speaker, as well as to the Dialer. It features the ability to connect two Revolabs FLX Microphones and one Speaker wirelessly.
FLX2 Charger Base The FLX2 Charger Base, shown below, provides charging capabilities for all battery operated system components, including the Dialer, the Speaker, and the Microphones, by allowing them to charge in one simple and organized location. The FLX2 Charger Base is not required while in a conference call, however it can maintain the charge of the FLX Speaker and FLX Dialer while a call is in progress.
FLX Dialer The FLX Dialer equips the user with an intuitive and interactive tool for configuring and operating the FLX System. The Dialer is not only used to make and answer conference calls, but it is also used for configuring the system settings, having a call using the handset, and monitoring the system components. The FLX Dialer, shown below, is composed of several parts such as a color LCD screen, a compilation of buttons, and a microphone and handset speaker.
FLX Speaker The FLX Speaker, shown below, is a wireless active omnidirectional speaker that has been designed and optimized specifically for use with the FLX Conferencing System. The Speaker is equipped with a pairing button on the bottom and 4 LED indicators on the top to display the activity of the Speaker and the mute status of the system. The Speaker can operate in or out of the Charger Base during conference calls.
FLX Microphones The FLX Microphones provide a sleek and unobtrusive form factor allowing for closer proximity to the participants and creating the best audio available to the far end. They are equipped with a button for pairing and muting, an LED indicator to display mute status and battery charge level, and an internal buzzer to warn if the Microphones have lost connection to the Base Station.
Initial Setup After unpacking the FLX2 Conferencing System, there are a few initial setup tasks that must be performed before a call can take place or any system configuration can be changed. Connecting System Cables The FLX2 Charger Base has a power supply that needs to be connected, as shown below. In addition, the Base Station needs to be connected to the network using the provided Ethernet cable before a conference call can be made.
will also have to enable the extension (user) you want to use with the FLX on your PBX. Please review your PBX documentation on information on how to do that. From the FLX Handset Depending on your IP PBX, different settings will be required for your FLX to work in your environment. First, the FLX will require an IP address. The IP address can either be obtained from a DHCP server in your network, or be statically set on the phone. The phone is preset to DHCP.
Note: For some of the common IP PBXs, Revolabs provides documents on required settings for the FLX. The documents can be found on the support website at http://www.revolabs.com/Support/Product-Line/FLX.aspx. Managing A Call The FLX2 Wireless Conferencing system is equipped with a VoIP interface that allows the system to make conference calls in a VoIP network. The following are the basic operational instructions for making and receiving telephone conference calls.
Bluetooth Call The FLX2 System is equipped with a Bluetooth interface that supports the Hands Free Profile (HFP). This profile allows the user to make a call through a cell phone, a computer, or other device via a Bluetooth connection. A Bluetooth call can be made using ‘speaker mode’ only. A Bluetooth call is controlled by the connected Bluetooth device. A Bluetooth call can be made at the same time as a video call. NOTE: Revolabs FLX only supports the Hands Free Profile (HFP) for Bluetooth 2.0 or higher.
or the speaker is switched off, and a yellow speaker means that the status of the speaker is unknown, e.g. it was taken out of range or connection was unexpectedly lost. A green microphone indicates that the microphone is available and unmuted, a red indicates it is available but muted, grey indicates it is switched off, and yellow means the current status is unknown, e.g. it was taken out of range. The handset charging indicator shows the current status of the battery.
Placing a VoIP Call 1. From the home screen on the FLX Dialer enter the phone number to be called. 2. Once the number is entered completely, press the green ‘call’ button to initiate the phone call. 3. If any Microphones are out of the Charger Base and active, the call will default to ‘speaker mode’ and will be identified by the ring tone being played out of the Speaker. 4. If no Microphones are outside the Charger Base the call will default to ‘handset mode’ and the call will take place on the FLX Dialer.
charger. NOTE: If there is either no Speaker active or no Microphones outside the Charger Base when the incoming call is answered from the FLX Dialer, the call will default to ‘handset mode’ and will remain in ‘handset mode’.
