CONNECTING VIA THE LAN PORT
This connection is used for rapid firmware updates, as well as in the
future for system configuration and intelligent connection with the
Eclipse digital matrix. It is wired as a standard Ethernet connection.
The basestation has a fixed IP address. This can be found by selecting
SYSTEM and then INFO from the front-panel display menu. Refer to
the chapter “FreeSpeak Toolkit” for more information on using the LAN
port to upgrade firmware.
CONNECTING TO TRANSCEIVER/ANTEN-
NAS (FS-TA)
CONNECTING ONE TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNA
(FS-TA) DIRECTLY TO A TRANSCEIVER PORT
A FS-TA transceiver/antenna connects to the transceiver port on the
FreeSpeak basestation using a standard 4-pair CAT-5 data cable with
RJ-45 connectors. It may be located up to 1,000 meters from the
basestation if 24AWG cable is used for 500 meters if 26AWG cable is
used creating a coverage area for five FS-BP wireless beltpacks in that
location. The port is able to provide the required power to the
transceiver/antenna at a distance of up to 300 meters (approximately
900 feet); beyond that distance, the FS-TA transceiver/antenna must
be locally powered via its in-line external universal power supply.
Note: It is recommended that shielded CAT-5 cable is used.
To know that a FS-TA transceiver/antenna is active, observe the green
power LED and the yellow signal LED on the face of the unit where the
RJ-45 connector is connected. Both must be lit. Also, wireless
beltpacks in the vicinity of the active transceiver/antenna will be
