You must not connect an IP connected FSII transceiver and an E1 connected FSII 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 FreeSpeak Edge Base Station.
Connecting Beltpacks
For a quick, easy setup, Clear-Com recommends that you use USB registration to connect up to 16 beltpacks. A role
will be created with channel 1 on button A and channel 2 on button B for all beltpacks.
USB Registration
1. Connect a beltpack to the Base 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 Base Station will
show

. A timer is started indicating how long the system is open for registration. You
can stop OTA registration on the system at any point.
3. Follow normal OTA registration process for you FSII beltpack.
Note:
OTA PIN is only required for FreeSpeak II Transceivers. FreeSpeak Edge Transceivers do not require a PIN.
Connecting 2-Wire and 4-Wire devices
1. Use the four 2-Wire XLR connectors or the eight 4-Wire RJ45 connectors on the rear panel to connect to 2-
Wire or 4-Wire devices, and then use the CCM to add them to channels or keys. The default 2-Wire setting is

, or from the front panel:
Menu>2W Audio>2W (A, B, C or D)>Nulling>Start
.
Connecting to Dante-enabled devices
1. Use the LAN connector that is configured for Dante to create Dante ports and connect to Dante-enabled
devices. Use the CCM to add them to channels or keys.
2. Use the Dante Controller to configure the ports. For more information, see the
The device name in the Dante Controller is prefixed by
CCEdge
.
Network settings
The default network settings for the FreeSpeak Edge system are: 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.
