CONNECTING THE MATRIX TO REMOTE DEVICES

The Eclipse-32 matrix connects to remote devices such as intercom stations,
interfaces, general purpose inputs and outputs, local area networks, and other
matrices through its rear-panel hardware connectors.
The following sections describe the rear-panel connectors. The Installation
Chapter of this manual gives pin assignments for each connector.
1
1 Two IEC AC power input connectors,
(1 per power-supply unit )
2 RJ-45 port connectors (36)
3 General purpose outputs connector
(male, 25-pin, D-type)
4 General purpose inputs connector
(female, 25-pin, D-type)

CONNECTING TO AC POWER

1
An Eclipse-32 matrix's rear panel contains two IEC AC power input sockets for
connecting AC mains power to the two power supplies. Each IEC socket
connects cable to one power supply, operating at an input voltage of 100 to 240
volts, between 50 and 60 hertz.

CONNECTING TO STATIONS AND INTERFACES

2
An Eclipse-32 matrix's rear panel contains 36 RJ-45 sockets for connecting the
matrix to remote intercom stations and interfaces. These sockets are often called
"ports." Each port socket is given a number on the rear-panel for easy
identification.
All ports contain a voice detection mechanism ("VOX") that you program from
the Eclipse Configuration System software. VOX detection allows you to know
when the audio on a particular channel has exceeded a threshold. This is
particularly useful for channels that are inactive periodically, so that you are
visually cued in the software when audio appears on the line.
