The following Clear-Com user panels are fully compatible with the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix system: • V-Series panels, including expansion panels. • I-Series panels, including expansion panels.
4 Installing the Eclipse HX-Omega This chapter describes how to install the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix, including the power supplies, connector panels, CPU cards, the port and expansion cards. It also describes how to connect interface cards, interface modules and intercom (user) panels to the matrix. Note: For an overview of the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix, including cards, interface modules and compatible intercom panels, see 3 Overview. 4.1 Before you begin the installation 4.1.
4.1.3 Reconnecting the CPU Card’s backup battery Important: Before the Eclipse HX-Omega is installed, the CPU card’s backup battery must be reconnected. The matrix will operate if the battery is not reconnected. However, if the matrix is powered down, all run time information (dynamic assignments, crosspoint states and levels) will be lost. The matrix CPU card has a lithium backup battery that powers the CPU memory if the AC electricity fails.
Eclipse HX-Omega CPU cards are fitted with a socketed battery which is normally a Renata CR2477N with a capacity of 950mAh and a life of approximately 247 days. These socketed batteries are easily replaced and this operation does not have to be carried out by service personnel. Disconnecting the CPU backup battery Before performing any service on the CPU card, the backup battery must be disconnected. To do so, place the CON9 jumpers in the OFF position as described in the previous procedure.
The minimum at which the data may remain intact is around 1.5V but normally the battery should be replaced before the voltage drops to this level. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Lithium batteries can overheat or explode if they are shorted. When handling the CPU card or a loose battery, do not touch any external electrical conductors to the battery’s terminals or circuits to which the terminals are connected.
4.2.1 Installing the Power Supplies The Eclipse HX-Omega system’s DC power supplies run on AC mains power. Two identical Euro Cassette power supplies are provided to ensure that every matrix will have redundant power (ensuring that the matrix will continue to operate even if one supply output fails). Each of the power supplies must be connected to a dedicated branch of AC mains power. The matrix will continue to operate even if one of the AC power branches fails.
To remove a rear panel from the matrix: 1. Detach any devices connected to the rear panel’s connectors. 2. Loosen the screws that hold the rear panel to the matrix. The screws are attached and will not fall off. 3. Remove the rear panel by pulling the panel out. 4.3 Installing CPU cards The CPU card’s components include CMOS chips which are sensitive to static electricity.
To insert a CPU card in the matrix: 1. Carefully place the card in the appropriate slot. Make sure the card is aligned with the top and bottom precision guides. 2. When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open the two ejectors, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix. Gently insert the card further until it touches the backplane connector guides. 3. Gently close both ejector tabs at the same time, which will propel the card into the backplane connectors.
4.3.2 Checking the CPU card installation The CPU card’s operating status can be checked by looking at the lights on the front of the card. RESET +5V The two power supplies are lit green to indicate that they are working. +3.3V IPC (Interprocessor communication) LED is lit green to indicate that the two CPU cards (primary and backup) are exchanging information. Dot matrix display indicates which of the four stored configurations is currently operational.
4.4 Installing interface cards Note: Always install the rear card in an interface card set before the front card. To install an interface card: 1. Carefully place the card in the appropriate slot. Make sure the card is aligned with the top and bottom precision guides. 2. Push the card toward the backplane connectors. 3. When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open the two ejector tabs, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix.
More ports can be utilized on the Eclipse HX-Omega by using higher capacity interface cards, such as the E-MADI64 card. (5 E-MADI64 cards * 64 ports) + (10 MVX-A16 cards * 16 ports) = 480 Up to 4 IVC-32 cards could be installed, using 128 audio ports. This would allow 11 more MVX-A16 cards to be added: (4 IVC-32 cards * 32 ports) + (11 MVX-A16 cards * 16 ports) = 304 LMC-64 cards take a port per meter.
4.4.2 Static sensitivity Observe anti-static procedures. Devices can be damaged by static electricity. Personnel should ensure that they ground themselves and all tools before touching cards. An interface card’s components include CMOS chips that are sensitive to static electricity. Before touching a card first touch a grounded metal object, such as any unpainted surface on the matrix, to dissipate static electricity.
4.4.5 Checking MVX-A16 analog port card installation The following lights indicate that an MVX-A16 card has been properly installed in the matrix: RESET +12V One of the four power-supply lights Is lit to indicate that the associated power supply is operating properly. -12V +5V +3.3V ACTIVE VOX The ACTIVE lights correspond to the card’s 16 ports. When lit, an active light indicates that RS422 data is being received. 1 2 3 4 5 The VOX lights corresponds to the card’s 16 ports.
4.4.6 Slot numbering Each MVX-A16 interface card has circuitry to support 16 analog ports. A grid printed on the matrix’s rear panel gives the numbering scheme for the analog ports. 4.5 Wiring audio devices to the matrix An external four-wire audio device can be directly connected to a port connector through the four audio pins. If there is excessive noise on the lines between the device and the matrix, the device may be electronically unbalanced with the rest of the system.
4.6 Wiring panels to the matrix Eclipse HX uses a 4-pair (analog) or single-pair (digital) wiring scheme between the matrix and panels. All Eclipse HX panels have built-in RJ-45 connectors. 4.6.1 4-Pair analog Four-pair analog wiring is performed with shielded CAT5 RJ-45 cable: Pair Description Pair 1 Transmits analog audio from the matrix to the panel. Pair 2 Transmits digital data from the panel back to the matrix. Pair 3 Transmits audio from the panel to the matrix.
4.6.2 Single-pair digital Single-pair digital wiring is accomplished with double-shielded 24 AWG conductor CAT-6E enhanced STP cable. Pair 1 transmits and receives multiplexed digital and analog between the matrix and the panel. Ensure that the Select switch on the rear of the panel is in the correct position for the intended use. Figure 8: Wiring the matrix to a digital panel using RJ-45 Note: 39 The above wiring diagram refers to DIG-2 only.
4.7 Wiring CPU card interfaces The CPU card holds the circuitry for connecting to, and communicating with, the following interfaces: 40 • An external personal computer. • Alarm inputs and outputs. • Eight general purpose inputs (GPIs). • Eight general purpose outputs (GPOs or relays). • Two separate local area network (LAN) connections for Ethernet-based communication with a network. • An external GPI/RLY interface.
4.7.
Key to Figure 9: CPU card interface connectors Feature Description GPI/RLY Interface Connector A The RJ-45 socket labeled GPI/RLY Interface connects the CPU card to a GPI-6 or RLY-6 card. The GPI-6 provides six general-purpose opto-isolated logic inputs. The RLY-6 card provides six single-pole, double-throw relay outputs. Both card types mount in either an IMF-3 interface frame or an IMF-102 interface frame.

Alarm I/O Connector C The DB-9F connector labeled Alarm I/O connects the matrix to a control circuit for an external alarm, such as a light or bell. The external alarm activates whenever an alarm condition is detected in the matrix. The following conditions trigger an alarm: • • • • • If any of the voltages produced by the first power supply unit fall below their normal levels. If any of the voltages produced by the second power supply unit fall below their normal levels.
Figure 13: Double-pole double-throw alarm relay General-Purpose Outputs Connector (GP OUT) D A GPO can be programmed to mute a speaker, to turn on an applause light, to turn on a door lock, or to perform a variety of other functions. For example, to get the attention of a panel operator working in a high-noise environment such as a control booth, a relay can be programmed to switch on a light at the operator panel each time an incoming call is received, to ensure that the call is not missed.
Figure 14: Pin configuration of the GPO connector General-Purpose Inputs Connector (GP IN) E The DB-25 connector labeled GP IN connects the matrix to eight local general-purpose inputs (GPIs). An external device such as a foot switch, a panel-mounted switch or the logic output of some other device can be connected to the GP IN connector.
To select a mode, move the J1 jumper on the CPU rear card to one of two positions. The J1 jumper is located on the inner-matrix side of the DB-25 connector. For opto-isolated mode, fit the J1 jumper across pins 1 and 2. For non-isolated mode, fit the J1 jumper across pins 2 and 3. It is recommended that the connector is set to the fully opto-isolated mode.
Figure 16: Non-isolated mode Figure 17: Pin configuration of the General Inputs connector Local Area Network connector (LAN1) F The LAN1 and LAN2 connectors have standard Ethernet pin assignments. See G below for pin assignments. The RJ-45 socket labeled LAN 1 connects a local area network (LAN) to the CPU card through a standard Ethernet connection. The green LED indicates the port is connected and the amber LED indicates activity.
Note: If this port is used a ferrite core must be added to the socket end of each cable. A suitable ferrite core is Würth Electronik part: 74271132. A shielded CAT-5 cable should be used. Local Area Network connector (LAN2) G The LAN1 and LAN2 connectors have standard Ethernet pin assignments. Figure 18: LAN1 and LAN2 pin assignments The green LED indicates the port is connected and the amber LED indicates activity.

4.10 E1 to FreeSpeak / CellCom antenna straight cable connection Straight CAT-5 cables are used to connect an E-QUE card to a FreeSpeak / CellCom antenna or splitter. The E1 pinout for connecting an antenna or splitter is shown in Table 9: E1 pinout for connecting a FreeSpeak / CellCom antenna or splitter. Cable wiring is shown in Table 10: E1 to FreeSpeak / CellCom antenna or splitter straight cable connection.
5 Using the Eclipse HX-Omega This chapter describes how to use (operate) the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix and its circuit cards. The Eclipse HX-Omega matrix chassis houses the circuit cards, power supplies, and connectors that form the central hardware of the system. Various types of Eclipse HX-Omega circuit cards perform unique functions: • CPU cards control overall system operation. • MVX-A16 interface cards control the operation of connected user panels, interface modules, and other intercom devices.
5.2 Setting the default IP Address To reset the CPU LAN ports to their default IP addresses, press and hold the ENG and FULL RESET buttons on the CPU front card until the card resets. Note: Do not release the ENG and FULL RESET buttons until the CPU card LED panel shows either an A or a B. The LAN1 Ethernet port is reset to the factory default address of 169.254.0.100 and the second Ethernet port to the 0.0.0.0 (blank) address. The LAN1 reverts to a link local address of 169.254.0.
If the network mask is extended to 255.255.255.0 the network ID becomes 172.16.2 so the second port could have an address of 172.16.3.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.0 giving a network ID of 172.16.3 for the second port. If both Ethernet ports are set up with the same network ID this condition results in data loss on one or both of the Ethernet ports. Note: Ethernet redundancy and the use of a default gateway is not supported.
5.5 CPU card lights and controls RESET A +5V B +3.
Key to Figure 18: CPU card lights and controls Feature A Description RESET button Pressing the RESET button causes the CPU card to stop its current activity and to restart. The same configuration that was active before the system was reset will be active after the system was reset. During the reset, configuration information reloads to the card’s operational memory from its non-volatile memory and the card starts running again from the beginning.
Note: The dot matrix lights will also display system information when the ENG button is pressed on the master CPU card. This is described below in the section on the ENG button. D Status lights OK Light When flashing, the OK light indicates that the CPU card is successfully communicating with the EHX configuration software. IPC (Interprocessor Communication) Light The interprocessor communication (IPC) light only operates when there are two CPU cards in the matrix.
E Configuration [ CONFIG ] button The CPU card can hold four complete system configurations in its operational memory. When the CONFIG button is pressed the number of the currently active configuration (either 1, 2, 3, or 4) appears in the dot-matrix display. Each time the button is subsequently pressed the next configuration number in the series appears in the dot-matrix display. The numbers cycle forward until all of the choices have been displayed, then start again at 1.
• G Hardware serial number. For example, SERIAL 2251, in the case where the HW serial number is 2251. Full Reset button When a full reset is performed, all cards in the matrix reset regardless of any system preferences in the program software and non-volatile memory are cleared. To perform a full reset: 1. Press and hold the card’s lower RESET button (the Full reset button). 2. Simultaneously press and release the card’s upper RESET button. 3.
To activate the embedded configuration: 1. On the front of the CPU card, press and hold the CONFIG and the ENG buttons. 2. Simultaneously, reset the CPU card by pressing and holding the CPU card’s lower RESET button (the Full reset button). Note: A tool, such as a pin, is used to press and hold the RESET button. 3. Continue holding the CONFIG, ENG and RESET buttons until the CPU card’s dot matrix display displays 0. It may take 1 - 2 seconds before 0 is displayed.
5.6 Analog port card (MVX-A16) front-panel lights and controls RESET A +12V B -12V +5V +3.
Key to Figure 19: Analog port card (MVX-A16) lights and controls Feature A Description RESET button Pressing the RESET button causes the card and all connected audio devices to momentarily stop their current activity and to restart. The card’s “matrix data” light goes off when the reset starts and comes back on when the reset is complete. During the reset, configuration information downloads to the card and its connected audio devices from the CPU card.
D VOX Lights When lit a VOX light indicates that the audio level on a connected device, such as an intercom panel or interface, has exceeded a preset threshold. The threshold audio level is set through the EHX application. Each of the port card’s 16 green VOX lights corresponds to one of 16 rearpanel connectors or “ports” to which audio devices (intercom panels or interfaces) can be connected. E Matrix Data Light The green matrix data light flashes (1: 1 0.
Each cassette has two status lights located on the power supply unit in the upper left corner. The green light stays on continuously to indicate that the unit is receiving appropriate power. The amber (XP unit) or red (Power-One) light goes on when a DC output or AC input falls too low. 5.8 Diagnosing power supply problems Figure 21: Power supplies: Front panel lights and controls Figure 20 illustrates the front panel alarm lights, power supply lights, and reset button.
Under normal operating conditions, the red front-panel alarm lights stay off, while the green power supply lights stay on continuously. Note: The XP type power supplies (part 740101Z) may need to be adjusted if E-QUE, E-FIB, IVC-32 or LMC-64 interfaces are installed. Power-One power supply units (part 720379Z) should not be adjusted. 5.8.1 Conditions that cause an alarm The following conditions trigger an alarm: • If any of the voltages produced by the first power supply unit fall below normal levels.
If the original alarm condition still exists, the red main alarm light on the matrix’s front panel continues to flash. The red main alarm light only stops flashing when all original sources triggering the alarm are corrected. If a new alarm condition or conditions occur before the original alarm conditions are corrected, the internal buzzer and relay contacts will not reactivate. They will only reactivate after all original alarm conditions are corrected. 5.8.
PSU1 Fail When the first power supply unit is operating correctly, the red PSU1 light stays off, while the four green power supply lights (+12V, +5V, +3.3V, -12V) stay on continuously. If a DC output or AC input to the first power supply drops too low, the red PSU1 light switches on. The amber (XP) or red (Power-One) light on the power supply unit itself also switches on to indicate the same condition. One of the green power supply lights may then switch off to help indicate the source of the trouble.
5.9 Connecting the matrix Tip: For detailed information about connecting the matrix to panels, interfaces and other devices, see 4 Installing Eclipse HX-Omega. The Eclipse HX-Omega matrix connects to devices such as the external computer that runs the EHX configuration software, panels, interfaces, and other matrices through its rear-panel hardware connectors, often called ports. These connectors are housed in modular removable panels. Each panel is associated with a corresponding front-panel circuit card.
5.9.1 Eclipse HX-Omega rear connector panels There are seven types of rear-connector panels: Panel Description CPU card A CPU-card rear panel holds the various connectors associated with the CPU card, such as the RS-232 connector for the configuration computer. Analog port card (MVX-A16) Analog port-card rear panel holds the sixteen RJ-45 connectors associated with its corresponding analog port-card front panel.
5.9.2 Connecting the CPU Card The rear-connector panel associated with the CPU card holds seven connectors (see Figure 21: HX-Omega rear panels). For a detailed description of each connector, including wiring and pinout information, see 4.7.1 CPU card interface connectors. A matrix only requires one rear-panel CPU card, because whichever of the two frontinstalled CPU cards is acting as master will work in conjunction with this card. All other front cards, however, require their own rear-connector panel.
Each rear connector panel associated with an E-QUE interface card comprises eleven RJ-45 ports: • Eight ports for connection to wireless equipment. • Two ports for DECT sync. • One port for LAN connections. Each rear connector panel associated with an IVC-32 interface card comprises eleven RJ-45 ports: • Eight ports for connection to E1/T1 equipment (not used). • Two ports for DECT sync (not used). • One port for LAN connections (used for IP-enabled V-Series panels and Concert panels).
6 E-MADI64 card This chapter describes the E-MADI64 card. The E-MADI64 is a MADI (Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) card, providing up to 64 duplex channels of AES3 digital audio over a coaxial cable or fiber pair between compatible devices. You can limit the quantity of channels to 32, 56 or 64 channels in EHX. Each E-MADI64 card set comprises: • A front card with pin reset and various status indicators (including channel quantity, sample rate, power and diagnostic (active and error) indicators).
6.1 E-MADI64 front panel lights and controls RESET A +3.3V B LOCK VID WRD C Fs 44.
Important note: Figure 22 shows an unconfigured E-MADI64 card , when all lights are lit to indicate their location. On a card with a clock source and MADI connections ( where the received MADI signal matches the card set up), the following lights are lit: the Lock source LED [ C ], the Sample rate (Fs) LED [ D ], the Channels LED [ E ] and the Active LED [ F ]. The Error LED [ also F ] is lit when there is no clock source or MADI input.
D Sample rate or Sf (Sampling frequency) A green LED indicates the current sampling rate of the MADI channels. The sample rate is determined in EHX when a video sync is used, or automatically detected from the clock source when a Word clock is used. Note: If the quantity of channels is 32, the sampling rate is either 44.1KHz, 48KHz or 96KHz.If the quantity of channels is either 56 or 64, the sample rate is either 44.1KHz or 48KHz.

Warning: Eye Safety This LED based single mode transceiver is a Class 1 LED product. It complies with IEC 60825-1/A2:2001 and FDA performance standards for laser products (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice 50, dated July 26, 2001. Normally a protective plug is fitted to the fiber connector to protect the connector from damage or the entry of foreign materials. The protective plug should only be removed in order to fit the fiber optic cable.
6.3.1 MADI channel labeling The 4-character channel ID for each MADI input channel is taken from the provided embedded data bits. The channel ID for each MADI output channel can be re-labeled in EHX, or alternatively replaced with Production Maestro Pro alias labels. This means that supported user panels can automatically show the MADI channel ID (or Alias as supplied from Production Maestro Pro).
If this is an established configuration: a. Go to Hardware > Cards and Ports. b. To add the cards, do either of the following: • Click Detect New Hardware. The cards are discovered and automatically assigned to a slot on the matrix. • Use the drop-down lists to manually assign the cards to slots on the matrix. 4. Configure EHX settings for the E-MADI64 cards. Standard EHX settings (including VOX and In-use tally) are applicable to all E-MADI64 channels.
6.4.2 Connecting a video source If you connect a video source to the Clock Input connector on the rear card (see Table 16 above) : • The VID LED on the front of the E-MADI64 card is lit solid green, indicating that the word clock has been detected and locked onto. • The number of configured ports and the sample rate (configured in EHX) is indicated by flashing green LEDs (1:1 at 0.5Hz) on the front of the E-MADI64 card. 6.4.
7 E-FIB fiber card This chapter describes how to connect Eclipse matrices using E-FIB fiber interfaces. E-FIB fiber interfaces connect Eclipse HX 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.
7.1 E-FIB front panel lights and controls RESET A +3.
Key to Figure 22: E-FIB front panel lights and controls Feature A Description RESET button Pressing the RESET button causes the card and all links to momentarily stop their current activity and to restart. The card’s matrix data light goes off when the reset starts and comes back on when the reset is complete. During the reset, configuration information downloads to the card and its connected matrices from the CPU card.
D Secondary Link Status LEDs These LEDs indicate the status and functioning of the secondary (B) fiber optic link. ACT LED When lit, this yellow LED indicates that the secondary fiber optic circuit is active. Link LED When lit, this green LED indicates whether a link has been established on the secondary fiber optic circuit (transceiver B). When illuminated a link is present. ERR LED When lit, this red LED indicates that an error condition has been detected on the secondary fiber optic circuit.

B Fiber transceiver with Duplex LC type connector. The TXVRB connector is used for the secondary ring. C Fiber transceiver with Duplex LC type connector. The TXVRA connector is used for the main ring.
7.3 Configuring a fiber optic connection There are a number of ways that optical connections can be made between systems depending on the level of redundancy required. When a break occurs in the fiber ring, a solid red status light will be shown at the fiber card downstream from the break and the link status LEDs may show amber. Other fiber cards will intermittently show red, as the ring attempts to recover. If the system layout is displayed by EHX the faulty links are shown in red.
Figure 28: Ring topology: single card set redundancy Loss of single fiber connection If a single fiber connection is lost on one ring and the other ring is intact then the active ring always attempts to heal itself by reversing the direction of data flow to bypass the failed connection. If the extent of the failure is such that the active ring is unable to heal itself then the system will switch to the secondary ring.
Loss of a single node If a node is lost on the ring the nodes adjacent to the failed node will loop-back their connections to the failed node healing the ring using the working remains of the ring. The configuration software (EHX) will report the failure. This applies to the situation where the fiber card itself has failed rather than the matrix.
Figure 29: Ring topology; Dual card set redundancy Loss of single fiber connection If a single fiber connection is lost on one ring and the other ring is intact then the active ring always attempts to heal itself by reversing the direction of data flow to bypass the failed connection. The self healing mechanism is performed autonomously by the fiber linking card. If the extent of the failure is such that the active ring is unable to heal itself the system will switch to the secondary ring.
The nodes adjacent to the failed node will loop-back their connections to the failed node healing the ring using the working remains of the ring. If the extent of the failure is such that the active ring is unable to heal itself the system will switch to the secondary ring. Switching to the secondary ring will cause audio breaks or disturbances and temporary loss of crosspoint data.
If two non-adjacent nodes are lost on the ring the nodes adjacent to the failures will loopback their connections to the failed nodes healing the ring into 2 separate smaller rings. The configuration software will report the failure. Note: In this instance the two sub-rings will be dependent on their Ethernet connections for configuration and data transmission but there will be no audio path between them.
If an Eclipse HX-Omega, connected as a node of the fiber-optic link is reset, powered down or failed this will constitute a lost or failed node on both rings and this node will experience audio breaks or disturbances and loss of crosspoint information or data for up to 5 seconds after the fault condition is cleared or repaired.

Each antenna can handle up to five beltpacks simultaneously and switch service between antennas under control of the matrix as the beltpack user moves around the site. 8.6.2 Powering the transceiver / antenna The DC In power connector is used to locally power the transceiver/antenna with the supplied universal power supply.
Figure 35: Multiple matrices with DECT Sync Interconnect Note: All connections are made using CAT-5 cable and it is recommended that shielded cable is used. If an E-QUE interface is fitted in the matrix with antennae or splitters connected and active inserting a second E-QUE interface to the left of the first interface (seen from the front) will cause a temporary loss of audio to beltpacks using the original E-QUE interface (usually for about 10 seconds).
The E1 specifications are: • HDB3 Encoding. • Long Haul Receive Signal Level. • E1 120 Ohm Transmit Pulse Amplitude. • Balanced. • 120 Ohm Line Impedance. • No Signaling. • G.711 or G.722 64 kbit/s Audio Encoding. • Tx Clock locally generated. • Rx Clock Line Recovered. Figure 33: Matrix to Matrix direct E1 Trunking shows E1 trunking using a direct connection between the matrices using a CAT-5 crossover cable. The E-QUE interface should be set to E1 Direct in EHX hardware setup.
Figure 36: Matrix to Matrix direct E1 Trunking E1 trunking between matrices can also be achieved over an E1 network, as shown Figure 34: E1 Trunking with an E1 Network. In this case E1 ports 1 and 5 of the E-QUE interface are connected using standard straightthrough CAT-5 cables rather than crossover CAT-5 cables.
Figure 37: E1 Trunking with an E1 Network The E-QUE interface can also be used to connect the matrix to third party equipment using E1 port 1 or 5.
The CAT-5 cable connecting the E1 port on the E-QUE rear card may be a crossover cable or a straight-through cable depending on the requirements of the third party equipment.The E-Que interface should be set to Direct in EHX. 8.8 T1 Trunking The E-QUE interface card can provide T1 trunking between Eclipse HX systems and between Eclipse HX systems and compatible third-party equipment. T1 mode provides 24 channels of G.722 encoded audio are available on each of ports 1 and 5, giving 48 channels per card.
Figure 39: Matrix to Matrix T1 Trunking T1 trunking between matrices can also be achieved over a E1 network as shown in Figure 37: T1 Trunking using a E1 Network . In this case T1 ports 1 and 5 of the E-QUE rear card are connected using standard straightthrough CAT-5 cables rather than crossover CAT-5 cables.
Figure 40: T1 Trunking using a E1 Network 8.9 Trunking failover Where the E1/T1 trunking has been configured with redundant trunks audio will be switched from the primary trunk to the backup trunk when a failure is detected. When failover occurs from primary to backup there will be a three second audio break on any route running over the trunk. If the trunk routing is later switched back from the backup trunk to the primary trunk there will be no loss of audio.
9 IVC-32 card for IP-based connections The IVC-32 (Instant Voice Communication) interface card provides the Eclipse HX-Omega with connectivity over IP to V-Series IP panels and Concert servers. Each IVC-32 interface card comprises: • A front card with a reset button and various status indicators (including status LEDs for power, port activity and LAN status). Note: The port activity LEDs are not active on the IVC-32 front card as the E1/T1 ports are not used.

9.3.2 IP linking and trunking The Eclipse IVC-32 cards allow directs and trunks over IP network infrastructure. All IP trunks and directs can be compared directly to 4-wire trunks and directs. They consist of: • A single duplex audio channel • A known start point and end point Links have to be made over IP before the trunk/direct can be used. 9.3.3 Concert users The IVC-32 interface card will allow Concert users to establish audio links with users on the Eclipse matrix via the Concert IV-R server.
10 LMC-64 metering card The Level Meter Card (LMC-64) interface enables the Eclipse HX-Omega to provide audio level metering for Production Maestro Pro over a network. Each LMC-64 interface card can meter up to 64 partylines and four-wire ports. The LMC-64 card set comprises: • A front card with a reset button and various status indicators (including status LEDs for power, port activity and LAN status). Note: The port activity LEDs are inactive on the LMC-64 front card as the E1/T1 ports are not used.

10.3 LMC-64 interface card applications The LMC-64 interface broadcasts audio level data to Production Maestro Pro clients over an IP network. This enables multiple Production Maestro Pro clients across a network to display any audio level that is being metered.
11 Maintaining the Eclipse HX-Omega The Eclipse HX-Omega matrix system connects a complex network of microprocessor controlled devices. Due to the complexity of the system, field service should be limited to isolating a problem to the specific circuit board that may be causing the problem. Once the circuit board has been identified, it can be either repaired or replaced. Tip: For an overview of the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix, see 3 Overview. Servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.
11.1.2 Spare parts To facilitate quick repair of the system with minimum downtime, Clear-Com recommends keeping the following spare system components in good working condition at all times: • One CPU card. • One CPU interface card. • One Euro Cassette power supply module of the type fitted to the matrix. • One of each type of intercom panel in the system. • One of each type of interface in the system. 11.
11.2.2 Hot patchability All CPU cards, port cards, expansion cards, and all Euro Cassette power supplies are hot patchable– that is, they can be plugged in or removed from the matrix while the power is on, and they will be neither damaged, nor will they cause damage to the system. In addition, the system smoothly incorporates a newly added card. Sometimes re-inserting a CPU card can reset the matrix. Replace CPU cards during maintenance down times if possible. 11.2.
Power supply lights on a component A lit power-supply light on a component indicates that the matrix’s electric current has traveled successfully to that component and is powering the component. For example, if the power-supply lights on the CPU card are lit, the electric current has successfully traveled from the matrix’s power supplies to the CPU card. If a power-supply light is not lit on a component, the electric current has not reached that component for some reason.
Note: Clear-Com may ship a spare matrix to use while the damaged matrix is being repaired depending on the support status. For more information, see your warranty and support documentation. Once the problem has been isolated to the card or the backplane, it is easier to take the next step which is to repair or replace the suspect component. Problem: vThe power supply lights do not illuminate on any cards in the matrix.
Action 3: If the problem persists even after the power supply has been replaced, the problem is in the backplane. Send the matrix back to Clear-Com for repair or replacement. In the meantime another matrix can be substituted for the damaged one. Note: Clear-Com may ship a spare matrix to use while the damaged matrix is being repaired depending on the support status. For more information, see your warranty and support documentation. Problem: The power supply lights are out on both CPU cards.
CPU card RESET button When the CPU card is reset by pressing its reset button, the card’s non-volatile RAM reloads all configuration information to the card’s microprocessor. Resetting the card clears any corruption of data in the card’s microprocessor. The card momentarily stops its current activity and restarts. The same system configuration that was active before the card was reset will be active after the reset.
Problem: Audio sounds low or distorted from a panel. Action 1: Check the matrix’s currently active CPU card’s power lights. If any of the lights are not lit, replace the card. Action 2: Check the analog port input and output gain settings for the port in EHX. Action 3: Check the panel’s listen-level adjustment settings in EHX. 11.

13 Glossary Term Definition Analog Port Any of the Eclipse HX matrix’s analog input/output RJ-45 connectors that are used to connect cable from the matrix to panels and interfaces. Each port connects to a separate audio channel in the matrix. Alias label A label that is temporarily assigned and replaces a previously labeled port or conference.
Conference An internal matrix virtual partyline or busbar where many panels and interfaces can talk onto or listen from the party line without talking to themselves. Destination A device such as an intercom panel, beltpack, or interface to which audio signals are sent. The device from which audio signals are sent is called a source. Duplex All real-time communication between individuals talking face to face is full duplex, meaning that they can both talk and listen simultaneously.
ISO Keygroup Label MADI Multiplexing The ISO function, short for panel ISOlation, allows a panel operator to call a destination and interrupt all of that destination’s other audio paths and establish a private conversation. When the call is completed the destination’s audio pathways are restored to their original state before the interruption. KeyGroups provide a way of assigning a label to multiple panels simultaneously even within a networked matrix system.
Remote panel Any intelligent intercom device connected to the back-panel ports of the matrix. This term does not refer to devices connected through interfaces. Sidetone The sound of the panel operator’s voice, as heard in their own earphone(s) as they speak. Source In this guide, the term source refers to a device (such as an intercom panel, interface, or beltpack) that sends audio into the matrix. The device to which audio is sent is called a destination.
