ECLIPSE E-QUE
CARD
E-QUE CARD DESCRIPTION
The E-Que card allows the Eclipse matrix connectivity to
FreeSpeak/CellCom antennas and FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna
splitters, E1 and T1 trunk lines and E1 direct lines. The E-Que cards
must be fitted in the rightmost available slots on the Median (furthest
from the config cards) and up to four E-Que cards can be fitted on an
Eclipse Median matrix.
The FreeSpeak/CellCom connection options supported are:
• Up to 8 x FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna direct connections per
E-Que card.
• Up to 2 x FreeSpeak/CellCom splitter connections (up to 5
antennas each) per E-Que card.
Using all four E-Que cards that can be fitted would allow up to 40
antennas and 200 beltpacks can be connected to a matrix.
The E-Que card also provides facilities for Direct and Trunk
connections using E1 protocol and Trunk connections over T1
protocol. 30 audio channels on each of 2 connectors (60 channels in
total) are available in E1 mode, while 24 audio channels on each of 2
connectors (48 channels per card in total) are available in T1 mode.
Each E-Que card set consists of a front card with a reset button and
various status indicators, and a rear card with eleven RJ45 ports giving
eight standard ports, DECT sync in and out and a LAN port.
Each E-Que front card has status LEDs for power, port activity and
LAN status. The port activity LEDs indicate whether there is a device
connected to an E1 port and that a connection has been established
between this port and the connected device.
Note: It is not necessary to have an ethernet cable connected to
the E-Que card LAN port for the card to function correctly.
