Note:
You must not connect an IP connected FS-II transceiver and an E1 connected FS-II transceiver on the same
Base Station when using the transceivers in the same RF coverage zones as this will cause interference and
not allow for proper roaming.
Clear-Com recommends using 24 AWG 4-pair shielded screened cable (CAT 5e/6) with RJ45 connectors to
connect the transceivers or the FSII-SPL directly to the Arcadia Central Station.
Connecting Beltpacks
For a quick, easy setup, Clear-Com recommends that you use USB registration to connect up to 32 beltpacks. A role
is created with channel 1 on button A and channel 2 on button B for all beltpacks.
USB Registration
1. Connect a beltpack to the Central Station using a USB A to micro USB B (FSII) / USB C (FSE) cable. The
beltpack can be powered on either before or after connection. The Central Station will show

Network Settings
The default network setting for the Arcadia Central Station system is: LAN1: Management and AES67 (IP TCVR). For
a quick and easy setup, Clear-Com recommends the default DHCP IP addressing. If no DHCP server is available, the
system will work in link-local mode. Ensure that two different LAN ports are not on the same subnet or virtual LAN.
