Output port in one of the BAL-8’s channels and the other connecting
the same channel’s Input port to the intended destination equipment.
One linking option is to connect the last eight ports of a Clear-Com
matrix to the eight Output ports on the BAL-8 as shown in Figure 2-3.
Each of the BAL-8’s Input ports can then be connected to destination
equipment.
Each channel can operate in either Normal or Interface mode.
Although the BAL-8 is shipped in Interface mode, you can slide the
switch to the right to select the Normal mode.
Use the Normal mode if the channel is directly connected to a Eclipse
panel or other RS-422 data device.
Use Interface mode if the channel is directly connected to an external
device, such as a public-address system or a radio receiver.
