2 Introduction to FreeSpeak II®

With a FreeSpeak II (FS II) wireless beltpack you can roam freely around a site or facility while

talking and listening to all, or selected, members of the production team. With its four

communication routes, the beltpack gives you the flexibility to communicate quickly and

seamlessly with individuals or groups, and to change communication routes as often as needed.

With FS II you can set up a wireless system specifically tailored to local needs by locating

transceivers and beltpacks in areas where they are needed most. And because the beltpacks

operate in the unlicensed 1.90 and 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum, there is no interference with

existing wireless systems, even those located in the same area.

FreeSpeak II offers a choice of two transceivers:

lFS II transceiver that operates using E1 digital transmission

lFS II IP transceiver (IPT) that leverages your existing IP infrastructure for convenience and

ease of installation.

With FreeSpeak II for Eclipse HX, wireless beltpack users can communicate with any Eclipse HX

panel users on a one-to-one or group basis.

Note: This User Guide covers the use of FS II with a matrix only (FS II for Eclipse HX). For more

information on running an FS II system with a Base station, please see FreeSpeak II User Guide,

Base Station Version.

To use FreeSpeak II with a matrix, the matrix must be equipped with

lE-IPA-HX cards for connection to FS II IP transceivers

lE-Que cards in transceiver or splitter mode for connection to FS II transceivers.

The system must be configured using the Eclipse HX Configuration Software. For more detail,

please refer to the Eclipse HX Configuration Software User Guide.

Note: You cannot configure FreeSpeak and FreeSpeak II on the same Eclipse matrix. If you attempt to

do so, the Eclipse HX Configuration Software displays a warning.

2.1 An FS II communication system

An FS II system consists of three main elements:

lThe wireless beltpacks.

lAn Eclipse HX matrix (Omega, Median or Delta) with an E-IPA-HX card or E-Que card.

lThe transceiver network that provides custom coverage zones in which beltpacks can

operate. Beltpacks can roam freely between coverage zones.

Page 8

User Guide| FreeSpeak II for Eclipse HX

FS II also includes a drop-in battery charger for the beltpack Li-Ion batteries. You can conveniently

charge the battery by placing the whole beltpack into the charger, or by placing individual batteries

into the charger.

FS II operates using a cellular network of transceivers located around a working environment. The

transceivers connect to the matrix via an E-IPA-HX or E-Que card installed on the matrix. Each

transceiver provides an area or cell in which up to ten full-duplex beltpacks can operate.

Beltpacks can roam among and between cells without disconnecting because each beltpack

continually detects which transceiver has the strongest available signal. When the signal from a

transceiver starts to diminish due to the distance from a beltpack, the beltpack automatically

“hands off” its signal to the nearest transceiver, ensuring smooth transfer.

Note: The E-IPA-HX card with IP Transceiver offers twice the beltpack density compared to the E-Que

card .

2.2 FreeSpeak II with an FSII Transceiver (1.9 and 2.4)

Using a transceiver splitter allows up to five transceivers to be connected to each transceiver port.

Each E-Que card can connect to two splitters and so support up to 10 transceivers. Each

transceiver supports up to five beltpacks. This means that up to 50 beltpacks can be present,

giving a great deal of flexibility in placing beltpacks where they are needed most, and providing

wireless reliability.

If a transceiver card is selected in the configuration software, this supports 8 transceivers.

Note: Each transceiver is designed to handle five beltpacks in the 1.9 GHz range and four in the 2.4 GHz

range, simultaneously and in good conditions. However, if interference or propagation problems

occur in an area, to ensure proper operation and reliability, it may be more practical to install one

less beltpack for each transceiver.

For zones which are likely to need coverage for up to five or more beltpacks simultaneously you

must install a second transceiver. Similarly, for good coverage for nine or more beltpacks

simultaneously, a third transceiver may be required.

2.3 FreeSpeak II with an FSII IP Transceiver

Using the FreeSpeak II system with an IP transceiver increases the capacity and range of your

system.

lThe IP transceiver is used with the E-IPA-HX card (Eclipse 10.0 and above software).

lE-IPA-HX card operates on a license basis. You can buy a card with a 16, 32, 48 or 64 port

license.

The E-IPA card enables up to 64 FS II connections (according to license) which may be made up

of any combination of:

lFS II IP Transceivers (up to 64)

lFS II beltpacks (up to 64)

recommends eight beltpacks per transceiver.
