Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 81)

Note: If you right-click on a port and select Find Usages, a list of panel keys that are assigned to
the port is given.
5.15.1 Device details
• AES Mono - The port is configured for an AES-6-RJ interface providing a
monaural connection to third party equipment.
• CCI-22—The CCI-22 port function is commonly used when a port is configured as
a 2-Wire Party Line. Call signals are sent to and received from an external Clear-
Com party line in the same way that they are sent between panels within the
Eclipse HX System.
• HelixNet—This port connects to the HelixNet digital partyline system.
• Direct— Commonly used when the port is wired directly to an external 4 wire
device.
• FOR-22— The FOR-22 has a number of different functions, however the Port
type is set as a FOR-22 but in the Advanced Settings for that port the function
allocated to the FOR-22 is set in the Application field. The commonly used
applications are as follows:
o Two-Way Radio—When the 2-Way Radio port function is selected, the port
is configured to operate a push-to-talk two-way radio system. The call signal
output activates a relay to key the radio’s transmitter.
Note: If the FOR-22 is to be used as a 2-Way Radio from remote systems, the
FOR-22 relay should be added as a secondary action in Advanced
Settings. When the FOR-22 is in 2-Way Radio mode, the rack has
control of the relay and automatically fires it.
o Four-wire —When the port is wired directly to an external device. Normally
four-wire functions are only audio connections and do not use call signals.
By default, when a four-wire port is connected to an FOR-22 four-wire Audio
Interface, a call signal sent to the port from the Eclipse HX System activates
the FOR-22 channel’s relay. Alternatively, this relay can be activated by
attaching the relay name to a control label configured in the Control
Manager.
Note: When the FOR-22 is in four-wire mode the relay will not automatically
fire. To make the relay fire when a talk path to the FOR-22 is created a
control must be created and added as a secondary action in the
Advanced Settings for the FOR-22.
When enabled in Partyline mode the FOR-22 allows panels to listen to all
commands to/from the interface.
• I-Station - The port is configured to drive an I-Station with 30 pushbuttons.
• Panel Aux - The port is configured for an AES-6-CX interface providing a binaural
connection to a panel supporting split-ear operation. This type of port must be
configured as part of a pair of ports to provide a binaural connection to the panel.
The first or master port of the pair is configured for the attached panel in the
normal way and the Aux Port is the second port configured under Basic Settings.
• Telephone (TEL-14)—When the (telephone) port function is selected, the port is
configured to operate a TEL-14 Telephone Interface. The call signal output is
used as a request from the Eclipse HX system for the interface to go off-hook. A
call signal sent from the TEL-14 interface to the Eclipse HX indicates that the line
is ringing or that the line is off-hook.
