CONNECTING THE MATRIX
The Eclipse Median connects to devices such as the configuration
computer, panels, interfaces, and other matrices through its rear-panel
hardware connectors, often called “ports”. These connectors are
housed in modular removable panels. Each panel is associated with a
corresponding front-panel circuit card.
Figure 2-5: Eclipse Median Rear Connector panels
There are six types of rear-connector panels:
• The CPU-card rear panel holds the various connectors associated
with the CPU card, such as the RS-232 connector for the
configuration computer. The CPU-card rear connectors are
discussed in the next section, “Connecting the CPU Card”.
• An analog port-card rear panel holds the sixteen RJ-45 connectors
associated with its corresponding front-panel port card. Remote
intercom panels and interfaces connect to the matrix through this
rear-connector panel.
• A E-FIB fiber card provides two ports to connect fiber network cables.
