4.4 Connecting user panels and interface modules
An Eclipse HX-PiCo rear panel contains 36 RJ-45 sockets for connecting the matrix to remote
user panels (V-Series and I-Series user panels), interface modules and other intercom devices.
These sockets are often called ports. Each port socket is given a number on the rear-panel for
easy identification.
All ports contain a voice detection mechanism (VOX) that is programmed in EHX software. VOX
detection:
• Allows the panel operator to know when the audio on a particular channel has
exceeded a threshold.
• Is particularly useful for channels that are inactive periodically, so that the panel
operator is visually cued in the software when audio appears on the line.
