Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 12)

The Eclipse HX-Pico uses a special null modem DB9 to 3.5 TRS.
The HX-Median / HX-Omega /HX-Delta CPU card uses a straight
serial cable.
If the EHX computer does not have a serial port, but only provides
USB connectors, adapters are available from computer parts
suppliers. However, you will be required to install drivers for USB-to-
serial port connections.
Important note:
Because of compatibility issues with some products, Clear-Com
does not recommend the use of USB-to-serial port connections.
User panels (V-
Series and I-Series
user panels) An analog connection, using shielded CAT5 4-twisted pair cables
with RJ-45 connectors, is the most common way of connecting V-
Series user panels and I-Series panels to the matrix frame .
You can use the following alternative methods for connecting V-
Series panels:
A digital connection, using the AES-6 digital interface
module. Coaxial cable is required to connect panels to the
AES-6CX rear card.
An IP-based connection, using the IVC-32 interface card
(fitted to an HX-Median, HX-Omega or HX-Delta matrix
frame). The IVC-32 interface card allows the Eclipse HX
matrix to connect to IP enabled V-Series panels over existing
WAN / LAN Ethernet cabling infrastructure.
The IVC-32 card can add IP connections through an Ethernet
switch / router linked to the Ethernet network. For more
information about the IVC-32 card, see the
Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median or Eclipse HX-
Delta User Guide.
Note:
For each user panel, additional connector wiring may be required,
depending on the options and accessories installed.
See 6 Wiring System Components in this guide, and the user
manual for your panel.
Interface modules
Interface modules are connected to the matrix frame using:
• Particular wiring schemes (for each module type) on the DB-9
connectors on the rear of the associated interface frame
(IMF-3).
• Shielded CAT5 4-twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors.
The RLY-6 and GPI-6 interface modules are connected directly
using an RJ-45 connector on the rear of the matrix frame to the
