ECLIPSE E-QUE CARD

E-QUE CARD DESCRIPTION

The E-QUE card allows the Eclipse matrix connectivity to FreeSpeak/CellCom

antennas and FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna splitters. The connection options

supported are:

• 8 x FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna direct connections

• 2 x FreeSpeak/CellCom splitter connections (up to 5 antennas each)

Up to 40 antennas and 200 beltpacks can be connected to a matrix using E-Que

cards.

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.

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 on the Omega

(furthest from the config cards) and up to four E-Que cards can be fitted on a

matrix.

Note: It is not necessary to have an ethernet cable connected to the E-Que card

LAN port for the card to function correctly.

Reset Button

Pressing the reset button causes the card and all links to momentarily stop their

current activity and to restart.

During the reset, configuration information downloads to the card from the

CPU card. If the entire system is operating except for one E-Que card press the

reset button for that card only.

Note: The reset button is slightly recessed from the front panel to prevent it from

being accidentally pressed. You need a tool, such as a bent paper clip, to

press this button.
