Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 96)

8 E-QUE E1/T1 card
The E-QUE interface card allows you to connect the Eclipse matrix to FreeSpeak/CellCom
antennas and FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna splitters, E1 and T1 trunk lines and E1
direct lines.
The E-QUE interface cards must be fitted in the rightmost available slots on the HX-Omega
(furthest from the CPU cards). Up to four E-QUE interfaces can be fitted to an Eclipse HX-
Median matrix. The FreeSpeak/CellCom connection options supported are:
• Up to 8 x FreeSpeak/CellCom antenna direct connections per E-QUE interface.
• Up to 2 x FreeSpeak/CellCom splitter connections (up to 5 antennas each) per E-
QUE interface.
Using all four E-QUE interfaces that can be fitted would allow up to 40 antennas and 200
beltpacks to be connected to a matrix. The E-QUE interface also provides facilities for Direct
and Trunk connections using E1 protocol and Trunk connections over T1 protocol. There
are:
• 30 audio channels on each of 2 connectors (60 channels in total) available in E1
mode.
• 24 audio channels on each of 2 connectors (48 channels per card in total) are
available in T1 mode.
Each E-QUE interface consists of a front card with a reset button and various status
indicators, and a rear card with eleven RJ45 ports giving eight standard ports, DECT sync in
and out and a LAN port. Each E-QUE front card has status LEDs for power, port activity and
LAN status. The port activity LEDs indicate whether there is a device connected to an E1
port and that a connection has been established between this port and the connected
device.
Note:
You do not require an Ethernet cable connected to the E-QUE card LAN port for the card to
function correctly.
