Connecting user panels and interface modules
An Eclipse HX-PiCo rear panel contains 36 RJ-45 sockets for connecting the matrix
to remote user panels (V-Series and I-Series user panels), interface modules and
other intercom devices. 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 is programmed in EHX
software. This mechanism (VOX):
Allows the panel operator to know when the audio on a particular channel
has exceeded a threshold.
Is particularly useful for channels that are inactive periodically, so that the
panel operator is visually cued in the software when audio appears on the
line.
