NX is capable of connecons over analog telephone lines with a modem (sold separately). This mode emulates the
funcon of Comrex POTS codecs, which have been used for years to deliver high quality audio over normal, analog dial-
up telephone lines. This mode provides for a point-to-point connecon between the codecs. No Internet access is used,
and the call is placed directly from one NX (or legacy codec) to the other. A POTS Zoom modem is available for purchase
to use with your NX.
In the current rmware, NX is capable of connecng over dial-up phone lines to ACCESS Codecs, Comrex Matrix Codecs,
Comrex BlueBox Codecs, and Comrex Vector Codecs. 

The legacy codecs (Matrix, Vector or BlueBox) must be congured for operaon in , which will allow
full-delity (up to 15 kHz) connecons. Voice Mode is not supported by NX. All 4 Contact closures and ancillary data
supported by legacy codecs are not supported by NX.

When dening any outgoing connecon, a prole must be assigned to it. For POTS Codec compable connecons, the
factory default POTS prole should work best.

To use NX on POTS, insert the Zoom USB POTS modem into one of the USB ports. Connect the phone cord to a normal,
analog telephone jack.

Once the POTS modem is installed, POTS Modem will appear as a new network opon in the  menu.
This network opon will remain in the  menu unless it is deleted by the user.
To iniate calls from NX, simply create a remote connecon with a telephone number as an address, rather than an IP
address, in themenu. You must designate a POTS-based prole for this remote.
