5 Using the Eclipse HX-Omega
This chapter describes how to use (operate) the Eclipse HX-Omega matrix and its circuit
cards.
The Eclipse HX-Omega matrix chassis houses the circuit cards, power supplies, and
connectors that form the central hardware of the system.
Various types of Eclipse HX-Omega circuit cards perform unique functions:
• CPU cards control overall system operation.
• MVX-A16 interface cards control the operation of connected user panels, interface
modules, and other intercom devices.
• A range of other interface cards enable communication with wireless equipment, fiber
optic links and IP networks.
Two Euro Cassette power supplies provide fail-safe redundancy in the event of a component
failure or an AC circuit outage. Front-panel lights give information about the condition of the
power supplies, allowing the system operator to take preventative corrective action.
Each MVX-A16 interface connects to an individual panel on the back of the Eclipse HX-
Omega matrix. This panel holds the RJ-45 sockets for connecting to intercom panels and
interface modules.
The Eclipse HX-Omega matrix is completely modular, allowing cards, power supplies, and
connector panels to be added or removed to meet operational needs.

5.1 Creating and storing system configurations
A configuration is a complete set of operating parameters for the system which includes
talk and listen paths for each connected intercom device. Depending on the interface cards
and modules installed, the configuration can include more complex features such as paging,
call signaling, interrupt foldback (IFB), ISO, groups, automatic DTMF dialing, and routing.
When an external computer is connected to the matrix, you can:
• Retrieve the current configuration information stored in the CPU microprocessor’s
memory and display the configuration in EHX.
• Apply the current configuration, modify it, or create a new configuration in EHX.
If you create more than one configuration, you can store the unused configurations on the
computer’s hard disk or on CD-ROM for later use.
Note:
The CPU card in the Eclipse Omega stores up to four complete configurations. You can
apply a configuration directly from the CPU card or from the connected PC.
