Figure 4-4 Wireless partyline Audio Flow
This facility allows conferencing over a large area between a mix of beltpacks, partyline
stations and Eclipse system panels through an FS II Base station.
FS II beltpacks can only connect to a wired partyline via a wireless partyline. Therefore in
order to allow beltpacks to talk to each other and a wired partyline a wireless partyline must be
set up that includes the wired partyline (PLCHA or PLCHB) and the beltpacks (see Figure 4-5
Connecting beltpacks to a wired partyline). This ensures that the audio on the beltpacks is the
talk audio and not the sidetone audio.

4.4 Connecting to 4-Wire and digital matrix intercom
Up to four channels of 4-wire/digital matrix intercom can be connected to the FS II Base
station. The descriptions below will discuss connections with Clear-Com Matrix Plus digital
matrix, Clear-Com Eclipse digital matrix, other brands of digital matrix intercoms, other 4-wire
audio devices, and the front-panel settings associated with these 4-wire connections.
4.4.1.1 To connect the Base station to a matrix port:
1) Scroll to PORTS on the main display screen and press the rotary encoder to select.
