User Guide| FreeSpeak II for Eclipse HX
2 Introduction to FreeSpeak II
®
With a FreeSpeak II (FS II) wireless beltpack you can roam freely around a site or facility while
talking and listening to all, or selected, members of the production team. With its four
communication routes, the beltpack gives you the flexibility to communicate quickly and
seamlessly with individuals or groups, and to change communication routes as often as needed.
With FS II you can set up a wireless system specifically tailored to local needs by locating
transceivers and beltpacks in areas where they are needed most. And because the beltpacks
operate in the unlicensed 1.90 and 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum, there is no interference with
existing wireless systems, even those located in the same area.
FreeSpeak II offers a choice of two transceivers:
l FS II transceiver that operates using E1 digital transmission
l FS II IP transceiver (IPT) that leverages your existing IP infrastructure for convenience and
ease of installation.
With FreeSpeak II for Eclipse HX, wireless beltpack users can communicate with any Eclipse HX
panel users on a one-to-one or group basis.
Note: This User Guide covers the use of FS II with a matrix only (FS II for Eclipse HX). For more
information on running an FS II system with a Base station, please see FreeSpeak II User Guide,
Base Station Version.
To use FreeSpeak II with a matrix, the matrix must be equipped with
l E-IPA-HX cards for connection to FS II IP transceivers
l E-Que cards in transceiver or splitter mode for connection to FS II transceivers.
The system must be configured using the Eclipse HX Configuration Software. For more detail,
please refer to the Eclipse HX Configuration Software User Guide.
Note: You cannot configure FreeSpeak and FreeSpeak II on the same Eclipse matrix. If you attempt to
do so, the Eclipse HX Configuration Software displays a warning.
2.1 An FS II communication system
An FS II system consists of three main elements:
l The wireless beltpacks.
l An Eclipse HX matrix (Omega, Median or Delta) with an E-IPA-HX card or E-Que card.
l The transceiver network that provides custom coverage zones in which beltpacks can
operate. Beltpacks can roam freely between coverage zones.
