CONNECTING VIA THE LAN PORT
This connection is used for rapid firmware updates, as well as in the future for
system configuration and intelligent connection with the Eclipse digital matrix.
It is wired as a standard Ethernet connection.
The base station has a fixed IP address. You can find this by selecting SYSTEM
and then INFO from the front-panel display menu. Refer to the
CellCom Toolkit
Guide for more information on using the LAN port to upgrade firmware.
LINKING TWO BASE STATIONS TO FORM LARGER
SYSTEMS
Two CellCom 10 base stations may be joined via the rear-panel BASE LOOP
connection to create larger communications systems that will support up to 20
wireless beltpacks, plus all of the available rear-panel connected devices on both
bases. The labels on each base are available to the other base, groups may be
created and assigned that contain beltpacks and rear-panel inputs from both
bases, and point-to-point conversations between beltpacks registered with the
two different bases are possible.
The one limitation to this expanded system is that the CEL-TA
transceiver/antennas connected to “Base #1” will only communicate with the
CEL-BP wireless beltpacks registered with “Base #1.”
So some care will need to
be taken when assigning particular beltpacks to locations and users in the
production area to most efficiently use the transceiver/antennas.
Use a specially wired four-pair CAT-5 data cable to connect the BASE LOOP
connectors on the two bases together.
This cable must have a maximum length of 1
meter (3 feet) . The pinouts of this cable are shown in the following table.

CONNECTING TO TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNAS (CEL-TA)
CONNECTING ONE TRANSCEIVER/ANTENNA (CEL-TA) DIRECTLY TO A
TRANSCEIVER PORT
A CEL-TA transceiver/antenna connects to the transceiver port on the CellCom
10 base station using a standard 4-pair CAT-5 data cable with RJ-45 connectors.
