Introduction

Arcadia supports HelixNet wired partyline intercom, including the HRM-4X remote station, the

HKB-2X speaker station and the HXII-BP beltpack. To do this, Arcadia channels must be

enabled for HelixNet. HelixNet user stations connect to Arcadia via an ethernet network and

HelixNet keysets can be assigned to any HelixNet enabled channel in the Arcadia system. Each

HelixNet enabled channel requires an Arcadia licensed port.

HelixNet wired beltpacks, remote stations and speaker stations are connected to the Arcadia

Central Station on the LAN port that is configured for the HelixNet network (default LAN 1) via

an Ethernet network.

Note:

Arcadia's HelixNet network is combined with the Management network and cannot be

separated at the time of writing.

Note:

When using an IEEE-802.3af compliant PoE switch, be sure to note the switch's power budget.

Each HXII-BP-X4 requires 4 Watts of power. The HRM-4X and the HKB-2X each require 15.4
