User Guide| LQ Series 4.0
Example of audio channels in a Link-Group.
7.2
Channel or 4-wire direct?
l A Channel operates as a virtual partyline and can contain many audio sources
l A 4-wire direct connection is between two points only
l A 4-wire direct is used when connecting to Eclipse panels
l A 4-wire direct is used when routing SIP calls to a panel
l A 4-wire direct cannot be used with the HelixNet system.
7.3 How many Channels can I use?
LQ series units can provide up to 24 Channels (including 4-wire direct Channels)
across a Link-Group. Use the green ‘Add Channel’ button on the Channel tab in the
Assignments page of the Core Configuration Manager (CCM) to add Channels.
If an LQ unit is linked in a Link-Group setup with HelixNet it will have either 12 or 24
Channels, according to the Channel license of the HelixNet device. Unlike the LQ,
HelixNet has a fixed number of Channels, according to license.
