3.4.6 LMC-64 interface card
The LMC-64 interface allows the Eclipse HX matrix to provide Production Maestro Pro
(routing software) clients with audio level metering of Party Lines (Conferences) and 4-Wire
ports via an IP network.
Each LMC-64 interface comprises:
• A front card with a reset button and various status indicators.
• A rear card with eleven RJ45 ports giving eight E1/T1 ports (not used), DECT sync in
and out (not used) and a LAN port for IP connectivity.
Each LMC-64 front card has status LEDs for power, port activity and LAN status.The LAN
indicators show whether there is a LAN connection and the IP activity on the LAN port.
Tip: A total of four E-QUE, IVC-32 or LMC-64 interface cards may be fitted to an Eclipse
HX-Omega. For the order in which interface cards must be installed to the Eclipse HX-
Omega, see 4.4 Installing interface cards.
Note:
Cards slide vertically into the front of the matrix and connect to the backplane.
3.5 Interface modules
Interface modules convert the 4-wire signals of a central matrix port to other types of signals
that communicate with devices such as telephones, camera intercoms, two-way radios, and
so on. In this way non-4-wire devices can communicate with the central matrix.
Note:
The term central matrix is used to differentiate the core hardware and software from the
connected intercom panels and interfaces. The central matrix itself consists of the matrix
hardware (the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix) and the EHX configuration software.
Each interface module has hardware connectors to connect to both the central matrix and
the external device that communicates with the central matrix.
Most interface modules connect to the central matrix via shielded CAT-5 cable terminated
with RJ-45 connectors.
Note:
The DIG-2 digital interface module connects to the central matrix via double-shielded
24 AWG conductor category-6 enhanced (CAT-6E) STP cable.
Tip: The type of cable used to connect the interface module to the non-4-wire device varies
with the device.For more information about the operation, installation, and maintenance of
an interface module, as well as cabling information, see the specific documentation (user
guide / manual) for each interface.
The following interface modules are compatible with the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix:
• TEL-14 telephone interface module.
