QUICK START

1. Unpack the unit(s) and inspect for any damage that may have occurred during 

shipping.

2. Attach the connection diagram label to a convenient surface, such as the bottom of the 

EF-1M unit. 

3. To connect the EF-1M directly to a Clear-Com Matrix (MX+3, MX+2) frame port, 

connect an RJ-45 cable from the RJ-45 connector on the EF-1M rear panel to the 
Matrix port. 
For all other connections, wire the DB-15 connector on the EF-1M’s rear panel to the 
other interfaces being used (fiber-optic, direct connection to another EF-1M, etc.).  
Take care to wire to the correct pin assignments, including selection of Clear-Com or 
RTS-type operation.  Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cable type.

4. Set the rear-panel mode switches according to Table 1 in Chapter 2.  
5. Repeat for each location. 
6. Connect the respective party-line systems at each location to the 3-pin XLR on each 

EF-1M’s back panel. 

7. If there is a proper RS-422 data connection, or if the Matrix Direct mode switch is on, 

the amber LED on the EF-1M unit’s front panel will illuminate steadily. 

Follow these instructions 

to quickly get the 

system up and running.
