ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX INSTRUCTION MANUAL

• “Virtual” operation in which a complete networked system can be operated
and maintained from anywhere in the world. The system provides both local
area network and Internet access to the central matrix.
• Visual and intuitive Eclipse Configuration System (ECS) programming
software.
THE ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX
A complete Eclipse Omega system consists of a central matrix and the remote
audio devices—intercom panels, interfaces, 4-wire equipment—connected to it.
Each element of the Eclipse Omega system is briefly described in this chapter and
more fully described later in this manual and in the Eclipse set of manuals.
The Eclipse set of manuals includes individual manuals on each matrix, panel,
and interface in the system, as well as Installing the Eclipse System: An Overview.
MATRIX ASSEMBLY
As shown in Figure 1, the matrix assembly consists of the following components:
• The metal housing for the circuit cards and power supplies, called the “matrix”
• The removable and replaceable circuit cards
• The removable and replaceable power supplies
• The rear panel connectors which link the circuit cards to devices and media
such as intercom panels, interfaces, wireless equipment and optical fiber.

Note: The term “central matrix” is used to differentiate the system’s core hardware
and software from the connected intercom panels and interfaces. The
central matrix itself consists of the matrix hardware and the ECS software.
