3.3 Connection to transceivers
This section describes linking transceivers over E1 connections and IP connections.
3.3.1 Connecting transceivers over E1
E1 is a telecommunications standard whereby data and power are sent over Cat 5/6 or Fiber
cable (data only). E1 connections must have dedicated cabling as it is not possible to use
network switches with this technology.
FreeSpeak II systems (1.9 and 2.4 GHz) can be connected to the Arcadia Central Station using
E1 connectivity.
How to connect transceivers over E1
Transceivers can be connected directly to the Arcadia Central Station (two transceivers) or
connected using a FreeSpeak II splitter (five transceivers).
Transceivers/splitters are connected to the Arcadia Central Station using connectors G and H.
See:1 Rear panel connectors and indicators
Note: Transceivers and splitters can be connected using Fiber or copper cable. If you use Fiber, the
devices MUST have local power.
