3.3 Adding the E-Que card for an FS II transceiver or splitter to the
matrix
Note: You can only use the FS II splitter with FS II transceivers that connect to an E-Que card. You
cannot use the splitter with the FreeSpeak II IP Transceiver.
The E-Que card is designed to allow Eclipse HX matrices to connect to FreeSpeak and
FreeSpeak II wireless transceivers/beltpacks or connect together using E1 or T1 protocol. You will
need an E-Que card and a rear port. You will need to make sure the E-Que card is physically
connected to the matrix and configured for communication in the Eclipse software. See 3.1.1 and
3.1.2. below.
