2) Scroll to 4-WIRE and press to select.
3) Scroll to CALLS and press to select.
4) Select the port or group to create an audio path to and press to select. Doing so
creates a route to the selected destination—this port or group can now hear the
activity on the partyline.
Note: This option can also be set to NONE.
5) Once the changes have been saved, the route will be reinstated on power up.
Note: Call signalling is not currently supported on 4-wire connections.
In the GROUPS menu, the 4-wire port can be assigned as a member of any of the groups, as
desired.

4.4.2 Connecting to Clear-Com matrix plus
The connection between a Matrix Plus digital intercom port and an FS II 4-wire port is
accomplished with a standard 4-pair straight-through CAT-5 data cable with RJ-45 connectors
on both ends. In the current generation of FS II, the audio input and audio output pairs are all
that will be used.
In the Matrix Plus PGM-WIN configuration software, set the matrix port that is connected to
the FS-BASE Base station 4-wire port to “4-Wire”. If the label of this FS II 4-wire port is to be
put onto more than one intercom panel within the matrix system, and any and all people who
have activated a talk/listen to that port are to be able to hear each other, as well as hearing
the person talking to them from the FS II wireless beltpack, also check “Partyline Enable” for
that 4-Wire connection in the configuration software.
