Eclipse Median Instruction Manual 7 - 9
8 MVX cards * 16 ports = 128
Up to 4 IVC-32 cards could be installed, using 128 audio ports. This
would allow a further 4 MVX-A16 cards to be added:
(4 IVC-32 cards * 32 ports) + (4 MVX cards * 16 ports) = 192
LMC-64 cards normally use a different port allocation and do not use
any of the audio port allocation. LMC-64 cards are configured in ECS
to 16, 32, 48 or 64 audio meters and the same numbers of ports are
allocated at that time. When an audio level meter is configured using
Production Maestro Pro one of the ports allocated to the LMC-64 card
is used. If the same audio level meter is being used by more than one
Production Maestro Pro client this does not increase the port usage as
the audio level data is broadcast.
E-Que cards and E-Fib cards normally use a different port allocation
and do not use any of the audio port allocation. E-Que cards have 60
ports in E1 mode or 48 ports in T1 mode, while E-Fib cards can be
configured to use between 16 and 192 ports. If E-Que, LMC-64 or
E-Fib cards are incorrectly installed to the left of MVX-A16 or IVC-32
cards they will be allocated ports from the audio port count, thereby
reducing the number of audio ports available to be allocated to
MVX-A16 or IVC-32 cards.
Comfort tones also use 3 ports which normally default to using the top
of the physical port range. If required the comfort tones can be
redirected to ports above 240 in System Preferences (see the Eclipse
Configuration Software manual part 810299Z).
To install an interface card
1. Carefully place the card in the appropriate slot. Make sure the card
is aligned with the top and bottom precision guides.
2. Push the card toward the backplane connectors.
3. When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open
the two ejector tabs, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix.
Gently insert the card further until it touches the backplane
connector guides.
4. Gently close both ejector tabs at the same time, which will propel the
card into the backplane connectors.
To remove an analog port or expansion card from the matrix
1. The two card ejector tabs, located at the top and bottom of the CPU
card, hold the card in place in the matrix. To remove a card, open
the two ejector tabs at the same time until the card unseats from its
backplane connectors.
2. Pull the card out of the matrix.
