The Advanced settings menu allows the following parameters to be
set.
BASIC SETTINGS
Port Count
The port count specifies the number of unidirectional fiber channels
that will be configured for the fiber card. The port count may be set to
a maximum of 192 ports in multiples of 16. As a general guide the port
count (fiber channels) can be set to the maximum of 192 ports in
networks with five or fewer matrices as this will not use all the timeslots
(but see note below).
For networks with more than five matrices the port allocations must
take account of the maximum number of simultaneous talks and listens
across the network with a maximum of 1024 timeslots being available.
The matrix event log can be used to help tailor the port counts for the
matrices. Alternatively the user may contact Clear-Com support for
assistance in configuring the network.
Note: The port count should not be set to an excessive number
(significantly more that the number of panels available for
connection via the fiber card) as this may reduce system
performance.
Port Number
The port number is set to the next available port on the system. For
example, if two MXV-16 cards are installed before the fiber card the
port number will be set to 33 (16+16+1). The port number cannot be
changed in Advanced Settings.
LINKING OPTIONS
Remote System
The remote system that the fiber trunk is connected to. Selecting this
option will display a list of remote systems that the fiber trunk may be
connected to in order to select the target system. For a system to be
listed it must have been set up in ‘My Systems’ as linked to the current
matrix so that the hardware can be allocated.
CONFIGURING THE E-QUE CARD
The E-QUE card is designed to allow Eclipse matrices to be connected
to CellCom/FreeSpeak wireless antennas/beltpacks or connected
together using E1 or T1 protocol (see chapter 3 “Matrix Frame
Preferences”).
