5.1 Introduction
The FS II Base station provides all of the intelligence and signal routing for the FS
II digital wireless intercom system. The Base station is a full-duplex digital matrix
communications system, with virtual “ports” for the wireless beltpacks rather than
physical ports.
In its memory, the Base station contains all of the labels and communications
paths assigned to each beltpack, and this information is sent to the beltpacks via
the transceiver/antennas as soon as they are switched on and recognized by the
base.
The Base station also functions as the interface between wired and wireless
communication devices. The two partyline intercom connectors, four 4-Wire
connectors, and program input/stage-announce output each have their own full-
duplex time slot. They can be labeled, added to communication groups, and
assigned to beltpacks as desired. Additionally the program input or one of the four
4-Wire connections can be assigned as IFB sources on the Base station.
