Page 52 User Guide | FreeSpeak Edge Base Station 6.2.3 E1 Transceiver/Splitter Port Connection Type (RJ45 or Fiber) Transceivers/splitters can be connected to the Base Station using either RJ45 cable or fiber cable. You can have two RJ45 connections, two Fiber connections or one RJ45 and one Fiber. The connection type for the ports is determined by a software setting in the Core Configuration Manager (CCM).
Page 53 User Guide | FreeSpeak Edge Base Station 6.2.5 Setting Cable Length Offset (E1) Cable length offset is used to optionally align the DECT or radio signals between transceivers. If transceivers are not synchronized, beltpack handover will not happen effectively. This is particularly important if you have overlapping transceiver coverage zones (RF cells) or the beltpacks need to move between coverage zones.

Page 66: Using Dante Systems
User Guide | FreeSpeak Edge Base Station Using Dante Systems To configure Dante you must be familiar with the Audinate Dante Controller, available from the Audinate website. Before configuring the connection in the Dante Controller, you must determine which of the 4 LAN connectors on the Base Station you wish to use for Dante network traffic.
Page 67 User Guide | FreeSpeak Edge Base Station LAN connectors can be configured in any way you wish, but the CCM enforces that you can not configure IP transceivers (AES67) and Dante traffic on the same network. This is because AES67 network traffic has defferent timing requirements than Dante network traffic for FreeSpeak IP transceivers.
Page 68 User Guide | FreeSpeak Edge Base Station 5. Details can also be viewed in the Dante Controller. 6. In the CCM navigate to Hardware>Resources>Dante Ports and add Dante ports. Give the new ports a suitable label. 7. Route the channels as required in the Dante Controller. Page 68...
