These functions can be set either in the 2-wire port settings page of the Core
Configuration Manager (CCM) or from the front panel screens on the Base
Station.
11.4 Connecting to 4-wire equipment
When connecting to 4-wire equipment the following need to be taken into
account:
• To minimise noise, use screened (shielded) cable when connecting 4-
wire ports.
• Pin-out configuration (mode) can be set on all FreeSpeak II Base 4-
wire interfaces. This is a software switch that switches the
configuration of the pins on the RJ45 etherCON connectors, according
to the device you are connecting to. Default setting: To Matrix.
11.5 Port function (to matrix or to panel)
Check this function whenever you are connecting 4-wire devices.
11.5.1 About port function
Clear-Com products are designed so matrices can connect directly to
panels/Base Station/main station using a straight-through CAT 5/6
(Ethernet) cable. The pin assignments (inputs and outputs) on these devices
are complementary. Previously, a crossover cable was necessary when
connecting Bases to other Bases. It is no longer necessary to use a crossover
cable as there is now a Port Function toggle which changes pinouts as
required. This is function is found in port options and can be set from the
CCM or the Base Station front panel menus.
