Using the Eclipse HX-Median

This chapter describes how to operate the Eclipse HX-Median matrix frame, including its
CPU cards and interface cards.
Note: For an overview of the Eclipse HX-Median, see 3 Overview.
5.1

Creating and storing system configurations

A configuration is a complete set of operating parameters for the system which includes
talk and listen paths for each connected intercom device.
Depending on the interface cards and modules installed, the configuration can include more
complex features such as paging, call signaling, interrupt foldback (IFB), ISO, groups,
automatic DTMF dialing, and routing.
When an external computer is connected to the matrix, you can:
• Retrieve the current configuration information stored in the CPU microprocessor's
memory and display the configuration in EHX.
• Apply the current configuration, modify it, or create a new configuration in EHX.
If you create more than one configuration, you can store the unused configurations on the
computer's hard disk or on CD-ROM for later use.
Note: The CPU card in the Eclipse HX-Median stores up to four complete configurations. You can
apply a configuration directly from the CPU card or from the connected PC.
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

The LAN1 defaults to the DHCP mode of operation. This mode of operation is not to be
used once the frame is operational as it delays the start-up of the frame following any reset.
5.3

Using the CPU card Ethernet ports

The CPU card Ethernet ports are normally connected to a LAN and used to communicate
with clients such as EHX and Production Maestro. The Ethernet port functionality depends
on the IP address setup.
