Introduction
Overview
The ADHB-4 (Advanced Digital Headset Box - P/N PRD000262000) is easy to install and configure dispatch audio system
that adds microphone and speaker capabilities, in various forms, to a C-Soft console. The ADHB-4 replaces the sound card in
the PC, offering the flexibility of controlling a wider selection of audio options.
Audio input and output is routed to devices by connecting a combination of headsets, desk mic, speakers, or a telephone to the
unit. Electret and dynamic microphones are both supported. Additionally, a footswitch can be installed for hands-free
operation. The unit can be mounted on the desktop or below it. Standard cable connections are made directly to a PC, to access
C-Soft, and an Ethernet connection for firmware upgrades, and unit configuration.
Audio parameters are set up within the web browser configuration software. Access to the radio dispatch system is provided
by configuring the base IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway within the ADHB-4 software. Additionally, the input and
output gain control, PTT (Push-To-Talk) source, and PTT priority are configured for the connected audio equipment. Status is
conveniently summarized on one (1) window in the configuration software for quick evaluation of connected audio devices.
The front panel is equipped with a color TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display), allowing instant
indications for ADHB-4 activity. The console operator can quickly determine which device audio is being routed to/from, as
well as footswitch activity, volume, transmit status and receive status. A bar graph indicates the headset volume level and can
be changed with the volume buttons on the front panel. A system information menu is also available. A single LED (Light
Emitting Diode) on the front indicates power when green and PTT when red. A single red LED on the left side panel indicates
phantom power is enabled when red and disabled when dark.
Softkeys on the front panel allow the console operator to change the clock, adjust the display’s backlight brightness, and
change the IP Address and Subnet Mask.

Computer System Requirements
Network Connection: 10Mbps or 100Mbps, full-duplex TCP/IP connection. Static IP Address preferred.

damage. If the unit is opened, the warranty can be voided. For troubleshooting steps contact the technical
support center. See “Phone Numbers” on page 2 for contact information.
Installation
REFERENCE: The installation process requires you to reference both this manual and the C-Soft Software Console
Administrator’s Guide (P/N LIT000082000) which is available on the CD that ships with the ADHB-4 or
can be downloaded at www.Telex.com/Downloads/.

ADHB-4 Mounting
ADHB-4 Mounting
Mounting
The ADHB-4 is mounted on or under a surface such as a desk by either placing it on the work surface or using mounting
brackets to fix it in place.
• Ensure there is enough clearance for back and side panel connections.
• Provide space for at least one (1) speaker pair.
NOTE: A dispatch monitor, weighing up to 35 lbs. maximum, can be placed on top of the unit.

ADHB-4 Connections
ADHB-4 Connections
USB Port
The USB port is used to connect the ADHB-4 directly to a PC. The USB connection is required to send the audio and control
data between C-Soft and the ADHB-4.
IMPORTANT: If it is necessary to disconnect the USB from the computer or ADHB-4, the USB device should be
safely removed.
PHONE Jack
The PHONE jack is used to connect a POTS (Plain Old telephone Service) handset, fitted with a mini RJ 4-pin-connector, to
the ADHB-4. This jack can also be used to connect to a phone system.
NENA Jack
The NENA jack is used to connect a NENA phone with an RJ-12 connector, to the ADHB-4 allowing full duplex
conversation. NENA operation is only permitted when headset(s) are selected and detected for use at the dispatch position.The
offhook condition is triggered by a contact closure that is part of the NENA jack wiring.
The NENA connector wiring diagram is shown in Figure 6. Pin outs for the RJ-12 connector are shown in Figure 7.
22
Installation
RJ-12 Connector
An RJ-12 connector provides input/output for a NENA port. When the NENA is taken offhook, the input transitions from high
to low and NENA RX audio is routed to the active handset or headset’s earpiece while NENA TX is routed from the active
handset or headset’s microphone.
NOTE: A headset or handset is required for NENA use. A desk mic cannot be used on a NENA.
FOOTSWITCH Jack
The FOOTSWITCH jack accepts a 3-pin connector that has one (1) or two (2) footswitches connected to it. The input for
PTT uses pins 1 and 2. The input for monitor uses pins 2 and 3. The PTT footswitch can control the PTT functions for the
headset, RHB 1 or 2, or the desk mic depending on the configuration.
3-Pin Connector
23
ADHB-4 Connections
ACCESSORY Port
The ACCESSORY port is used to connect optional equipment, to the ADHB-4.
The ADHB-4 accessory port provides two (2) balanced recorder outputs designed with 600 Ohms impedance. The common
recorder output sums and amplifies all common audio to a balanced output for single position capability.
NOTE: Version 1.00 does not support recording audio routed to speakers 3–6.
DB-15 Connector
24
Installation
NOTE: For more information, see “Remote Headset Box” on page 73.
If an electret microphone is used, a DC bias is placed on the microphone connection to power the microphone.
The nominal audio input levels are 500mv P-P for an electret and or 10-20mv P-P for a dynamic element.
RJ11 Connector
A phantom power supply of +48VDC is available for microphones that require power. The +DC is equally applied to pins 2
and 3 of the connector with reference to pin 1 (ground). Phantom power to the XLR jack is set in the configuration windows.
This type of connector does not provide PTT. PTT must be initiated from either C-Soft or a footswitch.
The nominal input level is 10-20mv P-P.
25
ADHB-4 Connections
REFERENCE: For more information, see the C-Soft Software Console Administrator’s Guide (P/N LIT000082000).
POWER Jack
The POWER jack is used to connect power to the unit. The power requirements are 12VDC to 16VDC, 500mA.
HEADSET Jack
The HEASDSET jack on the side panel is used to connect a 6-wire headset fitted with a dual 1/4” phone plug.
26
Installation
IMPORTANT:
• Do not connect the ADHB-4 to power until after C-Soft installation.
• Do not connect the USB cable to the PC until after C-Soft Installation.
C-Soft Installation
The C-Soft installation is described in the C-Soft Software Console Administrator’s Guide (P/N LIT000082000) available on
the CD that ships with the ADHB-4 or can be downloaded at www.Telex.com/Downloads/.

Overview
The RHB (Remote Headset Box) is an optional piece of equipment used to expand headset options on the ADHB-4. Each
RHB supports one (1) headset each. Up to two (2) RHBs can be connected to each ADHB-4. The RHB is a plug and play
device; the ADHB-4 recognizes a connection between the two (2) devices, allowing a central location for configuration within
the ADHB-4.
Compatible Headsets
For a list of compatible Telex headsets, see “Optional Hardware” on page 14.
Features
• ADHB-4 provides power to an RHB.
• Dual channel 1/4” headset jack.
• Volume control knob.
• Supports both Select and Unselect in either ear.
• LED for power and PTT indications.

Mounting
The RHB can be mounted under the desk or on the desk top. The RHB is fitted with a mounting bracket that can be flipped 180
degrees to change the mounting orientation. The RHB ships with the mounting bracket in position for under-the-desk
mounting. Mounting hardware is included in the RHB shipment.
The RHB ships with the bracket mount assembled for under-the-desk mounting. If you want to mount the RHB on the desk top
the bracket should be flipped 180 degrees.
The RHB is easily removed from the bracket without having to unmount the bracket.
To remove the RHB from the bracket while mounted, do the following:
1. Disconnect the headset.
2. Disconnect the DB-9 connector from the back of the unit.
3. Remove the screws (2 on each side) holding the RHB to the bracket.
4. Slide the RHB forward.
DB-9 Cable
The DB-9 cable that ships with the RHB is 6ft. long and designed to interface between the RHB and the ADHB-4.
