Introduction
This guide describes how to upgrade from
ECS v5.2.5
to
Eclipse HX v9.1
, a
software release for the
Clear-Com Eclipse HX
™
digital matrix system
(standalone or networked). This guide additionally identifies the simpler upgrade
from v7.x/v8.x/v9.0 to v9.1.
The system components covered by the guide include (but are not limited to):
•
Matrices (Eclipse HX-PiCo, Eclipse HX-Delta, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse
HX-Omega)
•
Interface cards (E-FIB, E-QUE, MVX-A16, E-MADI64, LMC-64, and others)
•
Interface modules (AES-6, TEL-14 and others)
•
User panels (V-series and i-Station panels)
Important note:
Eclipse HX upgrades
must
be performed by a technically qualified engineer.

Before you start upgrading your Eclipse (ECS v5.2.5 or EHX v7x/v8.x/v9.0) system
components to Eclipse HX v9.1 ensure that you have:

•
Scheduled enough time to complete the upgrade, or if required, roll back
the upgrade to the version that was running before the upgrade.
•
A suitable backup system is in place to maintain service, if your intercom
system is part of a mission critical or sensitive application.
You should also be aware that:

The
order
in which you carry out the upgrade is important. The chapters of
this guide are laid out in the order that your system components should be
upgraded.
Tip:
For a quick reference to the upgrade procedures you require, and the
order in which they should be carried out, see chapter

If you are upgrading
V-Series panels
, you
may

Upgrading the matrices in a networked (linked) system should take place
at the same time, because the data sent between networked matrices can
change.
When upgrading networked (linked) matrices, Clear-Com recommends that you:
