Introducing the innkeeper 2/4™

Innkeeper 2 and innkeeper 4 will allow you to send and receive audio over analog telephone lines. While this may seem like a simple task that any telephone can do, the challenge is getting the best quality audio from such a miserable audio path.

What is a Digital Hybrid?

The innkeeper 2/4 digital hybrids connect audio signals to a standard analog telephone line without the variations in quality found with analog hybrids. The main function of a hybrid is to bring in the caller's voice from the phone line as clear and clean as possible. In the real world, when you send your voice down the telephone line it has a tendency to bleed over into the caller's audio. The hybrid must adapt to the phone line in order to properly separate transmit and receive audio. We use a 16 bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to continuously monitor the phone line and local audio signals to deliver excellent trans-hybrid loss, also known as separation. Our dual-convergence algorithm can achieve excellent separation, typically exceeding 50 dB.

Ready to go?

The innkeeper 2/4 controls and connectors are clearly marked and ready for operation. If this is your first exposure to a hybrid, we suggest that you read the entire manual to allow you to take advantage of all these features.

Any Questions?

Before you pick up the phone... Please thumb through the rest of this manual. You might find those deep technical questions are covered on later pages.

Transmit Signals

The goal is to drive the phone line at high enough levels to avoid phone line noise, but not so loud as to cause excessive clipping. Adjust your audio signals to a level slightly less than the point where you see occasional flashes of red on the Transmit LED. These flashes should occur during loud speech bursts only. If the Transmit LED stays lit red for extended periods, you can assume that much of your speech is being clipped or distorted. In this case you should lower the audio levels for the signal that is causing the clipping. The innkeeper 2/4 menu will also allow you to adjust your input levels in 1 dB increments over a +/-10 dB range.

Receive Signals

The innkeeper 2/4 menu will allow you to adjust individual Caller output levels in 1 dB increments over a +/-10 dB range to give you the best signal level at your equipment. The Caller level control in the menu will not change what you see on the Receive LED.

Auto-Answer

The Auto-Answer feature can be activated through the innkeeper 2/4 menu. You may select which phone lines will have auto-answer enabled as well as how many rings before autoanswer. When Auto-Answer is enabled, you can still take calls manually using the call button. When finished, you can either drop the call manually or allow the call to auto-disconnect. Innkeeper 2/4 will look for a CPC disconnect signal or ROH message from the phone company to determine when a call has disconnected. This can take up to a minute.

C. JK Audio Concierge Switch Core (Not compatible with innkeeper 4.)

7. Power Jack

Universal AC power input for 100-240 Volt, 50-60 Hz supply current.

Remote Interface Unit

The 10 pin RJ-50 jack on the back of the innkeeper 2/4 provides a proprietary connection to the supplied Remote Interface Unit (RIU). The RIU has a Screw Terminal Block (see below) and a DB9 RS-232 serial port (see page 10). A flat RJ50 cable is included to connect the RIU to the innkeeper 2/4.

Screw Terminal Block

The Screw Terminal Block includes an Off-Hook signal pin and a Call/Drop control pin for each phone line channel. The OH signal pin is current limited to 50 mA, 5 VDC. The control pin toggles the corresponding phone line off-hook/on-hook with a connection/break from ground.

This terminal block was designed to allow remote off-hook/on-hook control and status for each phone line. The innkeeper 2 model also provides on/off control and status for the Conference feature. Use only the included RJ-50 cable to connect the RIU to the jack on the innkeeper 2/4.

Connecting the Line OH Control pin to the Ground pin will take the line off-hook, breaking this contact will release the line and disconnect the call.

The OH Status pin will provide 5V, 50mA current when the corresponding line is off-hook. You can use this pin to drive a relay, light an LED, etc.

Getting Connected

Setting Up

Although each application will require a slightly different setup, following is a general cable connection setup and explanation.

Note: The following steps apply to both innkeeper 2 and innkeeper 4

  1. Connect the supplied RJ-11 phone line cable(s) between the jack marked and your wall jack(s). Be sure this jack supports standard single line analog telephone operation. The innkeeper 2/4 will not work with "dry pair" phone line connections.
  2. You may want to connect an auxiliary telephone to the innkeeper 2/4 jack so you can dial out and set up calls.

Connecting to a Mixer (Mix Minus Caller)

Note: A mix-minus signal is an audio signal that contains a mix of your local microphones plus any other audio, minus the Caller's own voice. Sending the Caller's audio back to the Broadcast Host will cause an echo, or feedback.

  1. Connect the innkeeper 2/4 output(s) to any Line input(s) on the mixer. Local audio and audio from alternate phone lines will not be present on these jacks.

Note: innkeeper 2 has the ability to send isolated caller audio, mixed caller audio, or mixed caller and local audio from the Caller XLR depending on selections made in the Conferencing menu.

  1. Connect your microphone(s) to the mic inputs on your mixer.

  2. Connect the mixer's Mix-Minus bus or Aux Send output (this may be labeled FX or Mon but any Aux bus will work) to the input on innkeeper 2/4.

Note: Audio will be sent down either or both phone lines based upon your selections in the menu. Each caller output jack will contain audio only from its corresponding phone line. If the inputs are used, Audio will only be sent down the corresponding line.

  1. If your mixer doesn't have a mix-minus bus: Whichever input channel you have the connected to, turn the corresponding Aux control to minimum. All Aux controls for other channels should be set for audio sent to the phone line. Each Aux Send bus is completely separate from all other outputs, so these Aux controls will not affect what is heard on the Main outputs or on any other Aux buses.

Tip: Using an Aux Send bus that is Pre-Fader allows you to control the levels of each channel to the main output without affecting what is sent to the phone line.

  1. Connect your headphones to the mixer.
  2. Use Main Outputs to send audio to recording device or broadcasting equipment inputs.

  1. What happens to the phone connection if power is momentarily interrupted?

FCC and International telecom rules require that we drop the connection if power is lost for any period of time. We strongly suggest that you use a low cost, computer style UPS system if uninterrupted service is required.

  1. Does the innkeeper 2/4 use a line polarity reversal to drop a call automatically?

No, innkeeper 2/4 does not use line polarity reversal as means of dropped-call detection.

  1. I want to store an entry for a conference call that has a passcode. I can enter the number into the Phone Book but it is not dialing correctly. Why won't it dial the number entered?

Each entry only has a maximum of 20 digits.

The Phone Book will allow you to enter more than the 20 digits maximum displayed in the LCD when storing a number. However, only the digits displayed in the LCD are what the INN2/4 will dial.

  1. I mistakenly called the wrong Phone Book entry. As the number was dialing, the Drop button would not drop the line. Is there a way to cancel the dialing process?

No, the buttons on the innkeeper 2/4 are unresponsive until the unit finishes dialing the number. Once the number has been dialed completely, the innkeeper's controls become responsive again.

FCC Registration

FCC Registration

Your new JK Audio product has been registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This product complies with the standards in Part 68 of the FCC rules.

1. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network

The FCC requires that you connect this telephone equipment to the national telephone network through a USOC RJ-11C modular telephone jack. This equipment may not be used with Party Line Service or Coin Telephone Lines. This equipment is hearing aid compatible.

2. Information for the telephone company

Upon request from your local telephone company, you are required to provide the following information:

A. The "line" to which you will connect the telephone equipment (that is, your telephone number), and
B. The telephone equipment's FCC registration number. This can be found on the bottom of your telephone equipment, and,
C. The ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which will be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

3. Repair Instructions

If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the warranty section of the manual.

4. Rights of the telephone company

If telephone equipment is causing harm to the network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. If possible, they'll notify you before they interrupt service. If advanced notice isn't practical, you'll be notified as soon as possible. You'll be given the opportunity to correct the problem, and you'll be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your JK Audio product. If such changes are planned, you'll be notified by your telephone company.
