Mount on a table or other flat surface.
For more information, see HXII-BP-X4 Beltpack (beltloops and clip).
3.5.1 Power Up
The HXII-BP-X4 Beltpack is powered from:
The standard microphone cable that connects the device with the HMS-4X Main Station (see
below).
Power over Ethernet (PoE) using a cat5, 5e or 6 cable.
Notes: To use PoE, you must connect a third-party PoE switch between the Main Station and
the HXII-BP-X4 Beltpack.
You can power the HXII-BP-X4 over both microphone cable and PoE. In this case, the
PoE takes priority. After the beltpack boots up, you cannot switch between PoE and
powerline (microphone cable) mode.
3.5.2 Connecting the HXII-BP-X4 Beltpack over Powerline to the Main Station
To connect the HXII-BP-X4 Beltpack to the Main Station:
1. There are two powerline connections on the Main Station which can each support up to 10
digital HXII-BP-X4 Beltpacks. There are two connectors (3-pin XLR, male and female) for
each line.
Connect the cable to the selected connector on the Main Station.
Note: For the location of Lines 1 and 2 (the powerlines) on the Main Station, see F, G
in diagram in (HMS-4X Main Station: rear panel.
2. Connect the cable to the beltpack, using the 3-pin XLR connector on the base / rear of the
beltpack.

3.5.3 Powering the HXII-BP-X4 using PoE
To connect the HXII-BP-X4 to the Main Station for PoE:
1. Connect the Main Station to a network switch using the HLI-ET2 Ethernet interface module.
2. Connect the HXII-BP-X4 Beltpack to the PoE switch on the same network as the Main
Station.
Note: The beltpack must be paired to the Main Station.
Important: When using an IEEE-802.3af compliant PoE switch, be sure to note the
switch's power budget. Each HXII-BP-X4 requires 4 Watts of power. Do not exceed
