INTRODUCTION

THE ECLIPSE-32 MATRIX

The Eclipse family of communications products now includes the Eclipse-32
digital matrix intercom, which offers 32 full-duplex communication ports, plus
four extra 4-wire ports, in a one rack unit (1 RU) chassis. The Eclipse-32 matrix
supports the same i-stations, 4000 series stations, ICS digital matrix stations and
interfaces as its larger counterpart, the Eclipse-208 matrix, and is programmed
and controlled with the same Eclipse Configuration System software.
You can join two Eclipse-32 matrices together to form an intelligently linked
non-blocking 64-port system in two rack units (2 RU) using a single RJ-45 "base
loop" connection. The matrix also provides two power supplies for fail-safe
redundancy, and onboard general-purpose inputs and outputs.
The Eclipse-32 matrix is built around the powerful Motorola 8260 processor,
giving it the same processing power as the larger Eclipse-208 matrix.
Features of the Eclipse-32 matrix include:
• Thirty-six ports in one rack unit (1 RU), including four 4-wire ports
• Eight onboard relays and eight onboard GPIs
• Non-blocking 64-port system created by connecting two matrices with the
high-speed link
• Intelligent linking of up to 15 matrices using the 4-wire trunks and a LAN
• Two power supplies for fail-safe redundancy
• Seamless interfacing
• DTMF inward access
• Programmable VOX
• Individual level control
• Intuitive ECS programming software
• Remote matrix access via Internet/Ethernet
• Frequency response of 30 Hz to 22 kHz, ± 3 dB
• SNR and crosstalk > -70 dB

INTELLIGENT LINKING

You can intelligently link an Eclipse-32 matrix to other Eclipse-32 or Eclipse-208
matrices. Up to 15 matrices may be connected. The linking between matrices is
via dedicated trunk lines between ports on the linked systems.
This capability is in addition to the high-speed link which connects two
Eclipse-32 matrices into one non-blocking 64-port system.
