Introduction To Freespeak; An Fs Ii Communication System - Clear-Com FreeSpeak II Integra User Manual

2 Introduction to FreeSpeak II
With a FreeSpeak II (FS II) wireless beltpack you can roam freely around a site or
facility while talking and listening to all, or selected, members of the production
team. With its four communication routes, the beltpack gives you the flexibility to
communicate quickly and seamlessly with individuals or groups, and to change
communication routes as often as needed.
With FS II you can set up a wireless system specifically tailored to local needs by
locating transceivers and beltpacks in areas where they are needed most. And
because the beltpacks operate in the unlicensed 1.90 and 2.4 GHz frequency
spectrum, there is no interference with existing wireless systems, even those
located in the same area.
FreeSpeak II offers a choice of two transceivers:
FS II transceiver that operates using E1 digital transmission
l
FS II IP transceiver (IPT) that leverages your existing IP infrastructure for
l
convenience and ease of installation.
With FreeSpeak II Integra, wireless beltpack users can communicate with any
Eclipse HX panel users on a one-to-one or group basis.
Note: This User Guide covers the use of FS II with a matrix only (FS II Integra). For more
information on running an FS II system with a Base station, please see FreeSpeak II
User Guide, Base Station Version.
To use FreeSpeak II with a matrix, the matrix must be equipped with
E-IPA-HX cards for connection to FS II IP transceivers
l
E-Que cards in transceiver or splitter mode for connection to FS II
l
transceivers.
The system must be configured using the Eclipse HX Configuration Software. For
more detail, please refer to the Eclipse HX Configuration Software User Guide.
Note: You cannot configure FreeSpeak and FreeSpeak II on the same Eclipse matrix. If
you attempt to do so, the Eclipse HX Configuration Software displays a warning.
