CONNECTING THE MATRIX
The Eclipse Omega matrix connects to devices such as the
configuration computer, panels, interfaces, and other matrices through
its rear-panel hardware connectors, often called “ports”. These
connectors are housed in modular removable panels. Each panel is
associated with a corresponding front-panel circuit card.
Figure 2-5: Eclipse Rear Connector Panels
There are six types of rear-connector panels:
• A CPU-card rear panel holds the various connectors associated with
the CPU card, such as the RS-232 connector for the configuration
computer. This panel’s connectors are discussed in the next
section, titled “Connecting the CPU Card”.
• An analog port-card rear panel holds the sixteen RJ-45 connectors
associated with its corresponding analog port-card front panel.
Intercom panels and interfaces connect to the matrix through this
rear-connector panel.
• An E-FIB fiber card provides two ports to connect fiber network
cables.
Port 1-1
Port 1-2
Port 1-3
Port 1-4
Blank panels are installed
in unused portions of the
frame. Analog port rear panels have
16 RJ-45 connectors each,
to connect to intercom panels
and interfaces. The CPU card rear panel
houses connectors for a
computer, network,
interfaces, alarms and
other matrices.
