Eclipse | Upgrade Guide
2 Introduction
This guide describes how to upgrade from ECS v5.2.5 to Eclipse HX v9.1, a
software release for the Clear-Com Eclipse HX™ digital matrix system
(standalone or networked). This guide additionally identifies the simpler upgrade
from v7.x/v8.x/v9.0 to v9.1.
The system components covered by the guide include (but are not limited to):
• Matrices (Eclipse HX-PiCo, Eclipse HX-Delta, Eclipse HX-Median and Eclipse
HX-Omega)
• Interface cards (E-FIB, E-QUE, MVX-A16, E-MADI64, LMC-64, and others)
• Interface modules (AES-6, TEL-14 and others)
• User panels (V-series and i-Station panels)
Important note:
Eclipse HX upgrades must be performed by a technically qualified engineer.
2.1 Planning the upgrade to Eclipse HX
Before you start upgrading your Eclipse (ECS v5.2.5 or EHX v7x/v8.x/v9.0) system
components to Eclipse HX v9.1 ensure that you have:
• Sufficient spare (replacement) cards, interfaces or panels for the upgrade.
• Scheduled enough time to complete the upgrade, or if required, roll back
the upgrade to the version that was running before the upgrade.
• A suitable backup system is in place to maintain service, if your intercom
system is part of a mission critical or sensitive application.
You should also be aware that:
• The order in which you carry out the upgrade is important. The chapters of
this guide are laid out in the order that your system components should be
upgraded.
Tip: For a quick reference to the upgrade procedures you require, and the
order in which they should be carried out, see chapter 3 Quick reference:
Upgrading to Eclipse HX.
• If you are upgrading V-Series panels, you may have to upgrade each V-
Series panel individually by connecting it directly to a PC.
• Upgrading the matrices in a networked (linked) system should take place
at the same time, because the data sent between networked matrices can
change.
When upgrading networked (linked) matrices, Clear-Com recommends that you:
