ECLIPSE OMEGA MATRIX INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Fiber Card
Fiber cards connect Eclipse matrices together to provide a high speed, dual
redundant link to transfer audio samples and data between systems. These
connections can be configured in various ways to provide protection against the
loss of a link or a node.
Each fiber card link consists of a front card with various status indicators and a
rear card with two Duplex LC Terminated fiber optic connectors (TXVRA and
TXVRB).
E-Que Card
The E-QUE cards allows the Eclipse matrix to connect to FreeSpeak/CellCom
antennas and FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna splitters. Each E-Que card set
consists of a front card with a reset button and various status indicators, and a
rear card with eleven RJ45 ports giving eight standard ports, DECT sync in and
out and a LAN port for diagnostic use.
Each E-Que front card has status LEDs for power, port activity and LAN status.
The port activity LEDs indicate whether there is a device connected to an E1
port and that a connection has been established between this port and the
connected device.
The E-Que cards must be fitted in the rightmost available slots (furthest away
from the CPU cards) on the Omega and up to four E-Que cards can be fitted on
a matrix.
POWER SUPPLIES
Eclipse Omega matrix has two Euro Cassette power supply units that you can
easily install or remove as needed. One power supply unit can power an entire
matrix; the second unit provides a backup in case of failure or damage to the first
unit.
In addition, the two supplies have separate IEC connectors to AC mains, and are
designed for completely automatic and transparent changeover between supplies
in the event of a power outage in one of the AC mains circuits.
An over-temperature sensor is connected to both an audible failure alarm and a
warning light, allowing you to diagnose and correct any power anomalies while
the system remains operational.
MVX REAR-PANEL CONNECTORS (“PORTS”)
The matrix’s rear-panel RJ-45 connectors are called “ports.” You connect shielded
category-5 cable to a “port” to carry signals from the Eclipse Omega circuit cards
to connected intercom panels or interfaces.
ECLIPSE CONFIGURATION SYSTEM (ECS)
The Eclipse Configuration System (ECS) controls the operation of the remotely
connected audio devices by sending signals to the circuit cards in the matrix,
which then relay the signals to the audio devices.
