Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 72)

7.1.1 Intelligent linking with trunk lines
As many as 15 separate Eclipse HX-Omega, Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Delta and
Eclipse HX-PiCo matrix frames can be intelligently linked, using dedicated audio trunk lines
and an Ethernet network. Audio travels between the matrices on the dedicated trunk lines,
while control data travels on the Ethernet network.
Figure 29: Intelligently linked Eclipse HX-Omega matrices (matrix frames)
You can connect a dedicated audio trunk line using:
• The receive lines of an MVX-A16 serial port on one matrix and the appropriate send
lines of an MVX-A16 serial port on the second matrix.
• An E-QUE interface module, or an E-FIB (Fiber) card and fiber optic cables.
Note:
Only Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Omega and Eclipse HX-Delta matrices (matrix
frames) can be connected using E-QUE / E-FIB cards and fiber optic cables.
7.1.2 Serial port to serial port linking
A specialised RJ-45 to RJ-45 jumper cable is required for serial port to serial port
connections. You can either construct such a cable or use a punch-down block for the
crossover wiring (see Figure 30: Dedicated serial port audio trunk wiring).
Note:
The Seimon cable tester will not test this wiring.
