powered, having no effect on any part of the system operation, except to the
card’s assigned sixteen ports.
Communication to a card’s connected devices will be interrupted when that card
is removed from the matrix. When the card is replaced, communication is
restored.
SLOT NUMBERING
Each port and expansion card has circuitry to support 16 ports. A grid printed on
the matrix’s rear panel gives the numbering scheme for the ports.
CONFIGURATION
When a port card is physically installed, its ports must be assigned functions
from the Eclipse Configuration System (ECS). Refer to the Eclipse Configuration
System Instruction Manual for more information.
VERIFYING PORT CARD INSTALLATION
You can check the operating status of the matrix by viewing the front-panel
status lights. The following lights indicate that a port card has been properly
installed in the matrix:
• When lit, the four power-supply lights indicate that the associated power
supplies are operating properly. The four lights are +12V, -12V, +5V, and
+3.3V.
• The column of 16 yellow lights labeled “active” corresponds to the card’s 16
ports. When lit, an “active” light indicates that there is a device connected to
that port and that communication is running properly between the card and
the device.
• The column of 16 green lights labeled “VOX” corresponds to the card’s 16
ports. When lit, a “VOX” light indicates the audio level on that port’s
connected audio device has exceeded a threshold. You set the threshold audio
level for that port’s connected audio device in the ECS configuration software.
• The green “frame data” light illuminates green when information has
successfully passed between the CPU card and the port card.
• The red “status” light illuminates when the port card fails to communicate
with the CPU card.
WIRING AUDIO DEVICES TO THE MATRIX
The instruction manual Installing the Eclipse Matrix System: An Overview gives
complete details about wiring audio devices to the matrix. The Overview manual
also discusses RJ-45 cables and other types of cable required for system
installation.
The Eclipse Omega system features two IEC mains AC power connectors that
provide separate power inputs for redundant power supply combinations. If you
