Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 24)

Environmental information:
An extra rack unit (1RU) (1.75 in. or 44.45 mm) must be left above and below each external
power supply unit. This enables cooling for larger system loads.
4.2.2 IMF-102 interface frame
The IMF-102 is a 1RU interface frame, with slots for two interface modules.
The IMF-102 has an internal power supply and a connector for a redundant power supply.
The rear input/output connector panel has two RJ-45 connectors and DB-9 connectors for
each of the two interface modules.

4.3 Locating user panels
Locate all user panels (V-Series and I-Series panels) at comfortable heights for operation.
To allow for cable connectors, leave at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) of clearance behind the
panel chassis. Adjust the brightness of the display to suit your requirements.
Tip: To find out more about adjusting the brightness of the display, see your V-Series or I-
Series panel manual.
Expansion panels (such as the V12LDE, V12PDE and V12RDE) may be mounted as
required.
In terms of cabling, the maximum distance between the matrix frame and the main user
panel is 3000 feet (1000 meters).
4.4 Locating the external computer for EHX
The Eclipse HX configuration software runs on an external computer (PC). The computer is
normally connected to the matrix frame using the LAN1 connector (a standard RJ-45
Ethernet connector).
Ethernet connection allows single or multiple PCs to control, configure, monitor, and
diagnose single or multiple matrices from anywhere on the WAN / LAN.
For Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse HX-PiCo, a ferrite core must be
added to the socket end of each Ethernet cable to comply with European EMC standards. A
suitable ferrite core is Würth Electronik part: 74271132.
Shielded CAT5 cable is recommended for Electro Magnetic Compliance in EC countries.
Note:
LAN1 is the default connector on the matrix frame . The LAN2 connector (which is also a
standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector) is not configured when it leaves the factory and must
be enabled in EHX before it can be used.
